Wasn't there some Toyota marketing campaign about how they were making cars safer when a person is hit? Let me search around...

Maybe we can do another post for preferred brew methods as well.

I'm not sure, but let's see where this post goes.

I guess we should add grams and cup information to the chart

Yeah, it's just about those starting points.

The scale is important if you're filling the hopper with all your beans. If you measure before filling the hopper then you can just let the machine go till it's empty.

Adding the bellow to my machine keeps the grinder pretty clean on the inside. I only grind 11g and it all goes into the catch bin. Since I have to pickup and move my grinder after each use I have never seen grinds on the counter to clean up. I'm wondering more about how you are using the machine that it is causing such a mess. Also, it could be a faulty device, maybe the bin is not sitting correctly.

I weigh before and after grinding to make sure it all comes out.

After my weeks of research and reading reviews, I determined that the Encore ESP is the best value due to the finer adjustments for dialing in the grind size for espresso. However, I am in the states and not sure how much this costs where you are.

I make espresso maybe twice a year, and really wanted a single grinder that does fine grinding for the few times I need it.

The standard encore should be fine as well, but I don't have experience with it. Don't forget your spritzer for wetting the beans before grinding. Also, the encore is not zero retention so you should figure out a way to get those last few grinds out, I picked up the bellow attachment for the hopper, but I think there are other solutions.

Good luck and remember, you'll be with whatever grinder you choose for a while (unless it breaks) so imagine your future coffee usage as well.

Fancy. What burr upgrade did you pick up? I haven't used mine enough to need this, but could order and have it laying around for future me.

Years ago there were some multi-account credit cards floating around. Maybe that could be open sourced... Not sure...
