Electric Coffee (#)

  „Some home espresso enthusiasts like the doser model with the fork removed and the ground hopper lid off - you can put a 3" tall container udner their to pick up the grind, then transfer it into the portafilter with measure scoop (or weigh your dosage on a scale). The one advantage I can see is easier access ti clean out the grind "tunnel" the rectangular passage from the burr chamber to the hopper. On the doserless model, you have that curved aqua-tinted plastic piece, a dispenser cover, in front of it.“

CoffeeGeek - Spidem Trevi Combi Plus - Paul Miller's Review

  „Now, I switched to the whole beans and filled the hopper on the machine's built-in grinder.  After fooling around with a few small test samples grinding at different levels, I set the machine to grind at what I think is its finest grind.  The grounds were consistent and the grinder did a decent job.  However, the grind was not nearly as fine as what we had ground at the local coffee shop.“

Virtual Coffee: Books

  „Remove all the old coffee from your grinder, wash the hopper, dry it, and then pour in the coffee. Grinding a little coffee to season the burrs and freshen the grind hopper is another necessary sacrificial step. It also provides a good opportunity to check the grind. Making The World's Best Cappuccino requires you to employ the leveling method for measuring to distribute the dose of coffee into the filter basket evenly, so grind just enough to fill a double filter.“

CoffeeKid - Mark dishes out a major guilt trip. And Rossi grinder news

  „Before I poured the beans from my Rocky into the Rossi grinder (the Rocky hopper was full with .75lb worth of fresh roast coffee), I took off the hopper, turned the machine on, and turned the grind selection until the burrs started to whisper touch. Turned it off, cranked it back up 12. Figure hey, this is a commie grinder (short for commercial), so I have more range, right?.“
