  • Having watched a few grinder videos now is the key thing to get a machine that can run 98mm flat burrs? Or is the excitable chap I watched most recently overselling the importance of that somewhat?

  • It's a little more complex than that.

    One thing to bear in mind is your taste preferences might not mimic theirs. Large flats are great for picking out flavor notes and getting 'tea-like' clarity out of light roasts. They aren't as great for goopy thick espresso. Additionally, the La Marzocco is not really designed for pushing the boundaries the way that the big flat unimodal crowd like (flow profiling, etc...).

  • Yeah I read a little bit up on this. Am I right in saying that basically larger burrs reduces fines which help give espresso more body but also muddy the flavours a bit?
