Coffee Appreciation

I got these settings off Reddit. I’ve found them to be quite good.

I’d just like to understand why they are good or bad and see if there’s room for improvement

Django Mondul beans (Tanzania) are pretty good on first brew. £7 for 250g too v.reasonable

Did you buy from Mazzer directly?

Do you mind me asking how much it was once postage and tax were added? I am really tempted to upgrade from Niche Zero…

If you don’t want entry to the golf club please send me a private message

They're only 175GBP more than a Niche Duo (before taxes.) Hardly golf club.

I had every intention of buying the lavazza modo mio but ended up with the smeg because it colour matched my robot and was only about three times the price. Does a good job of heating and frothing milk for milky coffees and gets a lot of use making hot chocolate in the winter.

Maybe in the UK- here in SG they’re £1,600

Wow that's some difference innit. Might try for tomorrow.

I have to say I am flying through the beans here because of this new toy. I normally get though 1kg a month but I might have to increase that :/

Given the things people shit the bed about cost wise I wouldn’t want someone to open themselves up for the jealous trolls 🧌

I have a beautiful Moccamaster but only ever brew 400ml for myself. All this chat is making me Sage PB curious, reckon it’d be better for small amounts

£658 + £175 = £833.

I think that's pretty Golf Club, personally.

Holy shit! $995 here with sales tax on only $195 of that.

Same. 30-50g for a brew or cold brew.

I’m going to have a hunt around for different settings. Presumably different beans, regions and roast profiles will get better or worse results depending on the settings.

I think I might have stumble upon a life hack for SPB.

When you put more than 600ml into the tank the cold brew option disappears. 600ml is not enough for me for a cold brew.

If you look in the tank there is a level sense at 600ml. I’ve put 800ml into the tank, if you tilt the machine back when depending on the placement of your machine, the cold brew option then reappears.

@Dammit my SO gifted it to me for my birthday (I know right??) so I wouldn't know for sure. But she mentioned that she ordered it just before the shop went on summer holidays. And funnily enough, the Mazzer online shop is currently closed.
I don't like to talk prices of a gift too much but I'll leave you the link with price in € incl. tax and shipping, which I assume she paid. Pretty much golf club if you ask me

@Tenderloin thanks! I know it's not the answer you want to hear but I only have a V60. Eventually I will treat myself with an espresso machine but since it will most likely be a Linea Micra, it's not going to happen anytime soon haha

Haha I was thinking the same reading all this

Soooo who wants to buy my Niche…

only ever brew 400ml for myself

Clever dripper is the answer.

Borrowed one a while ago but didn’t really get on with it

Fair do's, what issue did you have with it? Just curious as I've found it's almost impossible to make bad coffee with it.

Can’t actually remember, think I was just a bit underwhelmed. Gonna dig it out and have another go this morning.

I like a bit of drama when I’m making coffee. A clever dripped would taste amazing, but where’s the sense of occasion

Watch the Hoff vid on brew method of you haven't already.

I've wanted a Moccamaster for years but just don't make enough coffee in one go to justify the space it'll take up, for the few occasions I make more a v60 is generally enough.

Still doesn't stop me searching online for one every couple of months.

@plasticniki How does SPB compare to Clever Dripper from your experience?

First thing I googled 😂

The Moccamaster was a wedding gift, I love it but only use it three or four times a week for small brews. Just like fiddling really. Shockingly I use London Tap Water™️ - might pop to Tesco and get some Ashbeck... then eventually install the filter system I've had in mind for years.
