Compare to Zerno ?

Dam dude you just used the other channel you were managing as a trampoline, to get some money just for you to continue your bohemian lifestyle, that's a pretty nasty move.

Overly harsh but It's how the shop looked. I'd never go in no matter what you're selling. Especially food. don't want to shop or eat in a basement. You need room you ambiance and a reason for people to stay. Emtpy walls in a 20ft by 10ft room doesn't have that. I'd honestly feel like I'd get food poisoning if I bought something from that shop. All you needed wsx really nice atmospher

8am?! 😂

Book is. Good idea. I am sure you have another great business idea 💡 in there somewhere. Watch Simon Squibb. I suspect the big chains will turn around and back to independent shops. I have had barista wrist too. I think a coffee shop needs parking, drive through and a warm space ❤

Just start selling beans. EZ

I identify with your experience. The same thing happened to me. In my case the client did not care about quality or originality but rather that it was cheap. It got to the point where I felt overwhelmed and discouraged. In the end I lost my investment.

I mean Zerno is just better engineered for that price range.

Sorry but I'm one of the people that eould put you out of business. I only drink my coffee black, nothing else. I could not care less about lsttes, etc., etc. Furthermore I can get 2 senior coffees from McDonalds for $1.00. I never go to Starfux because I don't like their coffee and they are ridiculously over-priced.

Hi Charlie, Thank you so much for the review. Is it still worth it for espresso if only the 1200D burrs are available from Mazzer?

Awesome video.

I spend quite a bit on coffees, but I'm usually just on a break from work and want to sit somewhere nice for 20 minutes - if I'm honest, like a lot of the other folks here are saying, the coffee is very much a secondary thing.

Maybe your local market had more sense than to waste their money on an over-priced indulgence they could make at home?

How about for plant based milk like oat?

Great story you've shared mate. I'm glad content like this exists on KZfaq. Best of luck on your coffee journey. Looking forward to the Ledger!

can you break down like a how is the costing that make it fail?? just a rough number or you can scale down,,, or something that show the ratio number

😂

Claustrophobic space. Nuff said.

I dont think you can over extract a French Press. At a certain point the coffee will be as extracted as it can get…you can’t pull more out. It is what it is. The simple way to test this is cupping. 4 minutes to infinity the coffee does not get stronger or more bitter. Flavors change because of our perception of flavor at different temps but the coffee doesn’t over extract, it can’t.

Finally a grinder with pre-seasoned burrs... that really is quite amazing.

There is no such thing as failure. You have experienced and learned so much ❤ For what it’s worth , I would have loved your coffee shop. I recently stayed in a village in East Riding and my only coffee options locally were Costa machines.

Interesting story, good luck for the future!

Thanks for sharing! Never easy to share failures

Probably the best business video I have watched on KZfaq

Very detailed review, thank you so much, you've been helpful for my choice

Id argue its more of an alternative to the decent for ppl who are not prepared to spend that kind of money just yet rather than a competitor to the sage at 3 times the price no?

This is fantastic info. Can you tell me where you bought the different tips? Thanks!!

Great video !!!

Hey Charlie. I noticed that you used BooKoo themis mini scale throughout this video; I was wondering how it's been working out for you. I'm interested in getting one but there doesn't seem to be many reviews or information about it beyond their website as far as I have searched around. Thank you!

Wasn’t the mistake, not finding mentors who would tell you all the hurdles?

dude, in a town of 1000 people there is maybe one guy who cares about the effect the warmer ambient temperature at noon has on the grind

Sorry it went bad. I am not an expert but here in Italy people do not care at all about quality until it is a strong black short espresso. Then it's up to the barista and his mastery of daily conversations about football, politics and trivial chit chats.

the intro! <3

Fabulous review, thanks Charlie!

Nespresso killer. If its not mechanical its not fun. Pressing on a button is not making coffee. 🕺🏻

Great grinder and great review. For a 64mm grinder I’d still choose the Zerno or the Bentwood.

I bought one following your helpful response to my query on one of your other videos that had the Philos in the background. I'm really enjoying it with the 189d burrs you recommended! Thanks!

Everything was perfect until you said 8am. Sorry bud

i wound up ordering a Zerno due December '24. I did consider the Mazzer carefully, but the Zerno seemed more idiot proof and also has blind burr set options that can easily be changed. i got ssp hu.

How do you like this in between df83v or df64v

Great review. I have this grinder on my shortlist. I'm a filter first, espresso second person. One day I'd like two electric grinders; one for espresso and one for filter. Since this will be my very first electric grinder and I mainly drink pour-over I want a pour-over burr first, which seems to be the 200d. I see that reviewed a 1Zpresso handgrinder in the past. Do you think there's a big difference between the 200d and 1zpresso for espresso? I'm asking because I currently own a 1zpresso and I'm very happy with my espresso results. If the 200d would come close to that I'd already be happy.

Thank very much for the detailed review. I only drink straight espresso. I don't have the experience of different roasts and how they compere for my taste but i want to taste them in the future. Do you think that I189D burrs are better for me? I know it may be difficult for to answer this for me but i would really appreciate your help.

Can 189d and 200d burrs fit to other 64mm grinders like df64v?

PS the sandbox smart roast link gave me a 404 error.

This is the best getting started video for roasting out there. I'm so happy I found this channel. I'm new, got an SR800 and now realize some mistakes I've made in my week of roasting. I'm taking notes and making a glossary of terms that I've learned. Thank you for this video.

People are focusing on the coffee but what confused me was the mention of “third places”, but not having anywhere to sit in the cafe? It’s hard to foster community unless there’s a place for community to be

This seems to be £1500 online, quite far away from £730!

Coffee shops they have very slim profits on daily coffee , the only way for that to work in that you have enough foot traffic. You mostly make money from food items. But when you put the initial cost of renovating buying coffee machines which in this market is $10,000 , your initial investment is very high, add the labor , taxes, rent and utilities its a constant pit you dig yourself into.

I feel like the niche zero is still the gold standard , so how does it compare to the niche ????
