  The ultimate tyre would be a GP5000 compound on a Turbo Cotton carcass IMO. I really, really love Turbo Cotton’s but they’re just too expensive at $80 per tyre.

  Just FWIW, turbo cottons are so supple that they roll over anything, rather than pick it up, and IMO were very reliable. Way more so than a Corsa.

  Corsa Control’a are now my go to for a reliable, fast, relatively cheap, supple tyre.

  GP5000s are fast but they’re so dead to ride compared to Corsa’s and Turbo Cotton’s. That sidewall has zero flex whatsoever.

  Only thing that a 1zpresso is better for would be bigger burrs hence faster grinding. The burrs in the JX and JX Pro are huge. They’re also ridiculously overbuilt.

  If you’re happy with the coffee they came out of it, I’d just grab the C2.

  Yeah, this. Every account I've read of the Ghisallo is that it's like, literally, the flexiest frame ever made.

  Funnily enough, I enjoy drinking wine from California way more than French wine.

  I would consider it to be a small strong coffee, rather than espresso style.
