Obviously none at all hence mentioning certain things associated with using them.

Given the area I work in a problem is something to solve rather than worry about. At one point management decided that the word problem had bad vibes, the power of negative thought etc and might even cause things to go wrong and suggested that the word opportunities should be used. True fact is that the word probably caused them loss of sleep. The other aspect of course was what word to use if it was the other type of problem.

Grinders have many opportunities to be used in various ways to get round what happens when they are actually used. No harm in telling some one what some of those ways are.

Can't argue with that. An EK43 is indeed heavy enough to be used as a doorstop. [emoji57]

How on earth would you know one way or the other - actually it's true.

What is this other type of problem. Sorry to seem dense, I am honestly interested.

Right. I think.

Simple, something that just wont work as it should what ever is done to it. It happens at times and can result doing what ever it is all over again from scratch or if research abandoned completely. What some do faced with that situation is say nothing and carry on while looking for another job.

One instance springs to mind - the company that the person worked for had to fork out a number of £ millions on a recall. This sort of thing doesn't happen very often but every time I hear of a recall I wonder if that was the cause but everybody makes a mistake or misses something at times.

Any grinder that can do espresso can "do pourover". It's not whether they can/can't that is the problem, it's being able to quickly & easily get back to your espresso setting.

Sorry to reup this thread and excuse my ignorance at never using a grinder before in tjis way (i have a sage BE) why is it difficult to change between brew methods? Can you not just note down what your grind setting is for espresso and then change to a V60/pour over grind?

I'm not sure that the grinder on the BE will be able to switch between V60 & espresso without internal resetting of the top burr? V60 is the coarsest grind I use, with no overlap with espresso settings (say 350-450um average for espresso vs 700-900um for V60 as an illustration).

In theory, yes, you can do this but with any grinder that you can't adjust whilst running, you'll need to go finer in small increments to stop the burrs from binding against trapped articles. There's also possibly thread slop that may influence how repeatably you can go back & forth.

In most cases, people will prefer to keep one grinder set for espresso, making just small, necessary adjustments, keep a second grinder for V60. V60 doesn't really need any abnormal grinder qualities, regular adjustment once dialled in, or as fine adjustment/setting capability, so a grinder for V60 can be relatively cheap.
