The Power Tower from Flair Espresso is a cool new gadget for manual grinder geeks. But it does have a few issues you need to be aware of before you retire your biceps and go electric 💪⚙️ (link down below)

The Timemore Chestnut S3 has a lot going for it. One of the things is NOT espresso grinding. Unfortunately.

Supposedly it can grind fine enough, but, during my initial testing period, it wasn't able to acieve more than a few bars of pressure on the finest setting.

However, there is a solution. By adding plastic shims between the cone burr and the adjustment wheel, I managed to get the burrs closer together, allowing me to grind fine enough for an 8-9 bar shot with dark roasts using a 58 mm basket.

While it's still not a true espresso grinder, it's a nice option to have– and adds a bit more to an overall nice package. So much that I now see this as one of the top mid-rangers on the market. You can check out the full review over on the blog - find the link down below 👇

As some sharp eyes were able to spot in the last post, my upcoming review was about the two new battery powered grinders, the Millab E01 and Femobook A5 🔋🪫

Both very competent grinders — but it's a tough market place these days! I share my opinion on the matter over on YouTube ▶️

I have a new blog post out about ILLY where I tested three blends from the brand.

What surprised me the most was how disappointing the Intenso blend appeared with its numerous broken beans.

You can see a comparison with a cheap and generic dark roast from a different roaster in the image below. Read the article here: https://coffeechronicler.com/illy-coffee-review/

Step aside, Americano! Restaurant Noma's 'Nomaricano' is the ultimate post-dinner fruit bomb.

⚙️ A bit more to the SSP and Sculptor saga.

After emailing with Hansung things are more clear: There are actually three different 64 sizes (64.2, 64.1. 64.0)

The two smallest ones should fit, but probably not the larger 64.2 mm.

Here's Hansung‘s explanation:

"Now almost all burrs have same outer diameter 64.2 mm because of Fellow ODE. 

Actually 64.2 mm was approved dimension but their Chinese manufacturer keep making body with bad tolerance.  

therefore, we changed outer diameter. (64.2 -> 64.1)  

but our distributor found some bad grinder again in some countries, therefore they ordered 64.0 mm outer diameter burrs as order made product."
