    There is one way to find out.

    Yes it works like that. The phone rings, you get distracted, there went a bag of beans

    Wonderful!! Wish I lived closer for that fiance-shocker

    yes!

    If I'd take the R140 along on a little trip, chances are there won't be three phase in the hotel room, and the grinder maybe won't work on a standard laptop USB adapter for power.

    yes!

    Sure it can. As said I've done it already. My tiny Mahlkรถnig Vario had such a switch/sensor thing and I took it out.

    a guy with no hands?

    Why would the hopper be necessary? I have had it running without it. It might be efficient to have something else instead of it though, in case children stick their arms in, or in case a long haired curly being walks past and the hair, caught in the burrs, pulls her pretty head in. After all we...

    You mean why I chose the R120 over an EK43? Mostly the looks. It's very personal but the EK43 looks to me more like a cargo crane in a harbor than like something I would like in my house. I do not see the need for the high "tower" it is mounted on. The Compak seems more 'modern' to me too, I...

    I did lots of VST refracto-measurements with espresso, just ordered 100 more VST filters, I have a lab centrifuge for espresso, but I did hardly any measurements with the "other" coffee gadgets, never took those very seriously apart from fun photo opportunities

    So far I have never seriously looked into other methods than espresso. I gave away the Aeropress, the french press I keep just because of its design and a tiny filter on top of a cup in one design is also there more for fun than that I ever use it. But I might be surprised by the result if I...

    That was a helpful hint! A friend visited me. He is a fine carpenter (made my beautiful wooden HG One travel case) and technician and when I told him about the grinder and showed him the mechanical diagram / parts list that Compak has made, he had an idea where to start and now the machine is...

    I love the ease it offers to prepare a delicious shot. For me it feels very similar to the time, years ago, when I first bought a prime lens for my Canon DSLR. Until then, I had enjoyed a very good lens but one that took its time to get focused. I could hear the little servo ging this way and...

    No hurry! Thanks for any tips next week.

    Have you seen any tips / how-to's on the removal? I tried taking off the long shiny blade that is hit by the "hammer" on the bottom, but the hammer makes the most noise. So I put it back on. The bammer is fastened with a big bolt, but I am not sure what happens if I unfasten that and take the...

    It's wonderful, very easy to get a delicious extraction with very little fuss. I quickly moved to lower dose, 14g instead of the 18g baskets I was using before. There is so much "oomph" coming from the smaller dose already, a shot from 18g would be really "loud" in taste, as loud as the R120 bag...
