I also acquired a mignon as I was having consistency issues with my vintage hand grinders. So today I started to put the two together for the first time, but am really struggling to find even a...

Lever Forum 💪Hi all, as you know I am playing with naked PF ideas for my Caravel, anyway the ponte vecchio baskets seem like a good idea as a PV PF can be trimmed to fit and they are still available unlike caravel ones.

All Grinders & Hand-GrindersWell on my slow but ever evolving foray into the world of espresso I thought I was limited by two things... Cash flow and the constant need to tinker.
