Try grinding at 3.0?

 

with new coffee burrs, that seems a touch course does it not?

No

 

The EK brain trust says yes

 

Oh! um ... ok then. Will attempt! How come I was so near the zero point before then? With ethiopians I was generally on 1.2 or 1.3. I had never zeroed it from new, however.

 

Numbers are not relevant.

 

Did you set it so it just chirps at the lowest setting? If you read the guide they say to back it off a few degrees before tightening the screws (maybe 10 degrees IIRC) so if you've set the zero point so it just chirps then that could account for it. I set mine to just chirp at the zero point though and I think others on here do too.

 

I'll say it again , what the number is , is not relevant , if you have zeored , the grinder then the number is no longer an indication of relevant grind size .

Taste is ....

Your new three is your old one .

It's like putting the clocks back ... why is it darker / lighter at 4 pm now ....

Has the taste got better / worse . Are the shots better / worse ? Adjust the grind til you find balance , not based on where your grinder used to grind at.

 

Ive enabled my grinder to grind finer....why is it grinding finer ?

Because you've enabled it to grind finer !

Is that an old photo or are you all enjoying each other's company that much that you're sat there checking out the forum chat whilst drinking?

If you ask the question you don't deserve to know the answer

I think it's been pushed though a digital downgrading process to make it look more authentic.

 

Looks very much like the four that escaped from Winson Green to me trying to blend in with the locals:exit:

Rather reminiscent of the OLD western wanted posters. HEE HEE

 

Somewhat unsuccessfully!

 

Well, ok , so somewhat premature panic, but I was in no way expecting the grind point to change THAT much - I (stupidly) expected the grinder to be shipped in a somewhat more optimal state...

so, how often do people usually re-zero their EKs? Not wanting to make that big a jump again!

May have been worth it to witness the brains trust, though - can they get a regular feature?

 

If you've got plenty of wiggle room, leave well alone until you give the EK a yearly service.

I am in it , I didn't take it ...
