You might like the Sworksdesign tall funnel. It’s sold by square mile on their website. Though I appreciate this video has been around for a while so you could have found a replacement already. Really amazing video though. Hope you do more! You have my sub.

I read people’s comments that the LM LM is not good because one cannot do flow profiling. Is that really such a big deal or is flow profiling over rated?
@SimonDrysdale4 ай бұрын
In my mind flow profiling is mainly important when it comes to pre-infusion. I don't really think it adds much during the actual extraction phase. Whether or not it is a big deal for you probably depends on the type of beans you enjoy. If you prefer light roasts you will probably want a longer pre-infusion, the darker you go the less important it is. Having said that, I think the best results are obtained from a combination of flow and pressure profiling. All of this really depends how much of the rabbit hole you want to go down; the LMLM makes excellent espresso, but it's just less customisable and flexible than something like a Decent DE1.

I have it w the SSP Red burrs,, It's PERFECT.. The machine and burrs, that is.. MY ONLY COMPLAINT... The cord at the rear protrudes a little bit much, so it can't get as close to the wall as possible.. Maybe if it was angled downward or had a flat plug

Thanks for a great video. For a novice, you offered more valuable perspectives than most self-proclaimed experts on KZfaq, and with more sincerity/credibility. First class production quality too - I struggled to find a video that showed all the important angles of the LMLM in an uncluttered environment with neutral lighting. I had decision paralysis trying to choose between black and white... after watching this, definitely white.

Pardon my second comment! I was set on the P64 until I saw, just today the existence of their new 01 grinder. I found the P100 to be lacking in the elegant esthetics of the P64 so had no interest. This 01, on the other hand seems like it has several substantial innovations. I like that it has eliminated the forks. The new design has a magnetic holder for a mobile portafilter. It has a button on the front that can aid in knocking out any remaining fines. It also incorporates some antistatic component so no RDT is necessary. The motor spins up after it detects the grind is finished to further motivate fines into surrendering into the exit. The motor is a monstrous 1300W and can do a grind with its much larger burrs in about a third the time or less. No forks also means no mishaps of a portafilter vibrating out and falling, scratching that aluminum. The size is truly a beast and it weights twice as much as the P64. It's also about $800 more than the P64. It's more than I and most home users need unless you have a family the size of a sports squad. The style design is also less than enchanting. But now I am torn as to which one to order, though both are magnificent machines. Do you have any thought on this new offering or feel intrigued to make a change?
@SimonDrysdale11 ай бұрын
Thank you for your kind comment yesterday, I do read them all and they mean a lot. I haven't used the 01 so I can't really comment on that grinder specifically. However the innovations seem quite interesting, I like the idea behind the magnetic grinder stand thing; but I'd have to use it to know for sure that it wasn't a gimmick or something that is easily knocked over. I'm sure they put strong magnets on it. Provided it's stable it's a good idea. Having said that - option-O said that they have changed the fork design on the P64 since I bought mine and there's no longer a risk of the portafilter holder vibrating out. It doesn't happen on mine all that often but I just stand there for the short time it takes to grind to avoid it. The choice between the 01 and the p64 is more of a matter of if you want the 'absolute best' and are willing to pay significantly more for it, or if you're happy with what is already an excellent grinder in the P64. You could probably argue both are overkill for the home user but I'd say the p64 is probably more suitable for a hobbyist home user. The other thing is that 01 looks massive; so I would factor that into your decision and the distinction between 64mm burs and 102 I don't think is very large when. it comes to the actual taste in the cup; although I've never tested burrs that large so I can't be certain on that. Regarding your question on colour, it's obviously personal and a taste thing but I am clumsy and always scratch / ding things despite my best efforts, and I think that would show up more on the black (as would the fingerprints); and as it happens I prefer silver, so I'd always buy the silver one. Best of luck deciding, I don't you can really choose wrong either way; they'll both be great.

Incredible review, content and execution! I just ordered my P64 in black. I saw it first on the real sprometheus channel and was enchanted by the quality, design and esthetics. Im having second thoughts about the black vs silver, though. I believe the black will show scratches much more prominently as well as collected static fines. Did you choose your silver version for esthetic reasons or wear concerns, or perhaps both. Please continue to create more content. Wonderful work.

Just curious if you thought about the Olympia Cremina lever? Sadly for me, I was getting my Delonghi Dedica in 2019 repaired and it happened to be at Cerinis in the Bronx. BTW Arthur Ave in the Bronx up near fordham is a fantastic mini Little Italy. Very very cool. Anyway Cerini is a main distributor of Olympia machines. And naturally they offered me an espresso from a Cremina. I pulled the shit and it was the single greatest coffee moment of my life. Like drinking anWriss beer in the Black Forest. The heavens shone down upon me and the angels started singing. I am waiting to be able To afford a Cremina. It seems like you have the same experience with your La Marzocca. Very nice video.

Now that there is the Micra, the Mini should offer volumetric dosing and flow control (let's say at least a version next to it) without touching its price. Eventually, a little more electronics with pressure management by an application, but that's not the most important.

@SimonDrysdale Жыл бұрын
Certainly could be used in a shop; I’ve never worked in that environment so my video was really catered to the home audience. The only downside would be the single group head but I know cafes that use single group machines. The machine could comfortably brew all day as long as it’s plumbed in but I wouldn’t be able to quantify how many drinks you could prepared daily. Best of luck!
