    Almost bought this and in the last minute stumble upon Wacaco Picopresso, bought the picopresso and to this day still using it daily and the quality of the espresso is superb after i change the stock basket to IMS competition basket. You can do manual pre infuse, poor man flow control, and profiling. Its easy to clean too and the workflow is simple if you invest in wider dosing funnel and a good leveling tamper.

    True true. And you can also just make a killer aeropress with that hot water. I guess someone people really prefer espresso even when traveling. I want to take it out and see if I can be convinced. I’m a little trepidatious about the whole idea still.

    I recently moved from DF64 v1 to WPM ZP-1 and totally agree with your point re reducing friction and I noticed remarkable improvement in consistency. Cleaning the ZP-1 is now a ritual how easy it is!. In my experience I tried supporting local roasters and despite paying very good money, unfortunately the quality is not as good as my own roasts on the Kaffelogic. The brick was a deal breaker for me with this grinder, otherwise the burrs and overall quality is top notch. Thanks for the video.

    I had the DF64 v1 for a small moment and there were just a few too many annoyances to be satisfied with it. The ZP-1 looks like a solid option now!

    @mikflores3 ай бұрын

    I definitely love the Vectis a lot. I thought having to manually fill the boiler would be a hindrance but it’s not nearly as bad as I expected. Shot quality is great, too. Can’t do the super long pulls and preinfusions like on the R, but it hits 90% of what I want in espresso

    when you mentioned that you had no budget, what made you decide against buying one of the more luxury home grinders? e.g. option-o or weber?

  • @mikflores
    @mikflores4 ай бұрын

    Good question! I think at the time the larger option O 98mm just came out and I wasn’t 100% sure how well it did. Seeing the BW used at comp also helped me feel sure about my purchase. Lastly, this is my own preference, but I’m not totally sold on the coffee SSP produces.

    I like your logic on dialing in. In fact as a person swtching diffrent beans a day I intuitively use same logic on grind setting, even dialing in new beans. Having a grinder to give such an option on adjusting is really useful. My question is did you think about Zerno? As the grind setting is similar to Bentwood. Smaller foot print etc.

  • @mikflores
    @mikflores8 ай бұрын

    I’ve thought a lot about it. My only concern is not getting the same flavor profile that I like from the vast array of SSP burrs out there. Probably possible, but it’s a rabbit hole I haven’t yet decided to go down. I purchased the BW before the Zerno was out. I may have gone with the Zerno if I had the choice today.

  • @DaddyMakesCoffee
    @DaddyMakesCoffee8 ай бұрын

    @@mikflores You may look around your coffee community to find a chance of flavor profile test on Zerno. BW is a really nice commercial grinder but for home use as you experienced the maintenance may include some extra efford.
