depending on the age of your classic there is a screw you turn on the OPV or you replace a spring. No I moved to a different machine before i get around to doing it

@@danielrece9775 maybe my mistake. Whatever the screen says after I stop the shot, goes 😂

@@huzaifiat no stabilisation in any of the sigma APSC lenses.

@@Brian-hj8ke Pullman 17-19g with 18g dose. Will be a 2:1 shot I would have thought for a milk based drink. 18g in 36g out.

£400 is not a huge sum of money for a good quality coffee grinder these days. Also £400 is not loaded 😂😂

What is wrong wiyh you there are people who earn 400 in like only with 15 days work. And here you are thinking 400 for a grinder is not loaded. Such a rich douche with no understanding of the 99 % people in world

@@SteveHowkins didn’t say £400 is loaded I said you must be loaded to spend £400 on a grinder.

@@paulgal got you! Still a cheap grinder haha but I get your point. Not everyone has disposable income to spend on luxuries, I appreciate that.

Now the burrs have settled a little I may grind a few doses without RDT and see what happens. Anything to reduce the workflow is good thing to me. That’s true. Didn’t think it could be the moisture! That’s for the info on the noise. No damage being caused then, excellent. I did think about removing it but then there will be a mark from the grub screw (to be expected) and seeing that will annoy me haha.

@SteveHowkins yeah, the collar doesn't look great but it doesn't bother me really - to your point on the finishing, it's a shame they didn't make the collar or the fixing mechanism a bit cleaner!

@@briantaylor1595 I’m sure I’ve read it was a last minute addition to the grinder so that would explain the slight different finish and securing method. That being said it does the job intended no problem.

The adjustment is not specified but to me the thread pitch is quite large so it will not be as small as 5 microns that’s for sure. I have no issues dialling in though.

Which cup are you talking about? The Not Neutral Vero? It’s quite a small cup. Haha got to try all the shots! Not wasting anything in my house 😂

There are various versions around the world. I’ve seen a different version in Germany and there is the obvious Chinese versions too.

Yes, they have it in the US volts and its $400~ BUT without the SSP burrs. They use a different Italian made burr set.

yeah

Yes very similar, amazing value! Anything you want to see?

@@SteveHowkins if you happen to have a df64v id like a direct comparison between that, or the df lines in general. Also mopre specific to the df64v, the variable rpm compared would be interesting to see as well. Lastly, id like to know if its possible to blindbur mod the grinder in general, considering it has a decent motor. With the df64v, its possible to do a blindburr mod if you drill the side of the carrier and swap the screws for recessed screws from the rear and magnets.

What gear do you have now?

@@SteveHowkins I first upgraded the Niche to Weber Key (massive difference). Then upgraded the BDB to LM Linea Micra. I can go on about other tools but I don’t want to risk boring you 😉

You watched and even took the time to comment! I guess I should say thank you.

@@SteveHowkins I am not trying to be rude or anything. I have seen a few content creators who would post on various topics even though the views are not high. So just trying to understand how that works. How do you make it worth your time?

Thanks for replying btw :)

@@Mujahed0001 honest answer it isn’t! I don’t make any money but I also don’t buy like some to attract views/followers. I haven’t bought any video equipment I didn’t already own and everything I do a video on is something I was going to buy regardless. I mean a little return would be lovely but I’m not counting on it.

Indeed. Same as the df64 looks a lot like the Lagom P64 that came before it. Guess unless you break the mold not many ways it can be done at an affordable price for all.

I used manual I think.

Not bothering at all. So the pressure changes but I don’t think the flow rate does. That is dependant on the grind. So at 77 in order to get a 9 bar shot I had to grind finer than at 87 as the machine was doing the work there. If you want 6/7 bar shots then yes use a lower pp and grind the same. All trial and error really. Puck prep and the coffee used make a difference.

@@SteveHowkins got it. Thank you so much

Thank you

Yes that’s true. I have thought a few times about it and have watched the videos on how to do it. I’ve probably only got 6 months on the 24 month warranty anyway.

Yes potentially. I have played around but nothing really changed.

You’re welcome! I believe it’s a Rancilio Silva. Relatively cheap to purchase too.

This is one of the easiest to clean. How long have you had it and when did you last clean it. I’ve not know anyone have to grind that fine.

@@SteveHowkins It's a used grinder. I've had it for a year, and it's basically loaned to me. I have no idea if the previous owner ever cleaned it. I've never cleaned it, and I use it once a day to make an espresso. I have no tools -- if they came with the Niche, they weren't passed on to me. I'm not a mechanic, so I'm not the sort of person who dismantles engines and knows how to put everything back together again successfully. Assembling IKEA furniture is hard enough! And yes, the grind setting is currently at 7 (out of 50 possible settings) and I think it still might not be fine enough, so the espresso pours in 12 seconds with no crema now. I thought maybe cleaning might help, but I'm afraid I'll be unable to reassemble it. I also tried to recalibrate the Niche without cleaning it, but that made it even worse. Maybe I just need to ask the coffee shop to grind it for me.

@@attitune you only need a 10mm socket (think that’s the correct size) the rest comes out in an easy methodical order. Your shot is too fast unless you’re aiming for a turbo shot (suspect you aren’t).

@@SteveHowkins No, I don't want 12-second espressos. I'm not sure what's wrong. Could be the espresso machine or it could be the grinder or both. I still haven't gotten the courage to try dismantling the grinder. I'm the sort of person who can't even refold a map properly without getting it all bunched up.

@@attitune folding those is difficult though haha

Is that apple or android app? I used apple App Store with no issues but I have to say I’ve not used the device for some time so the developers may have changed bits or ran into some issues with releasing updates. I would reach out to them for further troubleshooting. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.

Yes £2000 give or take a few quid.

It’s the original 3D printed one from thingiverse I think it’s called. Nothing special at all.

@@SteveHowkins thank you

Just good coffee my friend. Give them a try

I think if you have 220-240v main power supply it doesn’t really matter but I’m no electrician. My assumption is it can alternate automatically between the 2.

Glad you are enjoying your new setup so far.

I did think to do it but then didn’t want to apply that much pressure to my Acaia Lunar. Should have a cheaper one about in the kitchen. Will test it and report back

@@SteveHowkins Yes definetely with a regular scale instead of a food one since they're too sensitive. Thanks again 😇 Just ordered one myself btw waiting for it to arrive

It has higher image quality, a better pricing point and indeed the Tamron has stabilasation but it is also much bigger and heavier.

Hi, it’s Pesado 58.5.

Yes mine has that too. I think there has to be a compromise somewhere for the price. Has it made a tangible difference to your coffee as you say it’s more than cosmetic. I have noticed no difference at all.

@@SteveHowkins From what I understand the machine sells for around $700 in Australia so I don't really understand your argument about cost/quality, had it cost $700 like in Australia I would have been more inclined to agree with you!

@@dejedejsson in the world of dual boiler machines £1200 is cheap. All depends what you value. If in the UK it was £700 it would be a sell out machine for sure.

@@SteveHowkins Yes and $700 is even cheaper, why do we pay twice as much here and be happy about it, make no sense!

Thanks for the advice. See if I can get my hand on one!
