„Many grinders have timer switches of course, but all lacked the precision and flexibility to serve in a fast paced espresso operation, where the choice has been made to grind each shot upon demand. Dosage Control On Italian made espresso grinder/dosers a finned measuring device is built in to measure ground coffee and attempt to control waste. These designs measure well when a consistent quantity of ground coffee is maintained in the hopper. Otherwise when the hopper is full the weight of the ground coffee packs more coffee into the finned chamber increasing the volume delivered with each pull on the handle.“

„And, two basic approaches have surfaced to address the problem. Pods vs Super-Automatic Machines Pods machines are designed to eliminate the need to grind and pack for each espresso ordered. They are pre-ground, packaged in permeable paper not unlike tea-bags and sold in tins bearing some arty logo. In my opinion, you can not sacrifice freshness of the bean.“

„That is, if you serve double Ristretto (16 grams of ground coffee, extracted during a brew cycle of 25 seconds yielding 1.5 ounces of crema in the cup for example) , be sure to keep your grind and dosage constant to produce the same result. Do not push too much water through the coffee as it will affect your machine’s thermal performance. You will be surprised by what your thermometer tells you.“

„Thus it presents a different resistance to the brewing water than the freshly ground coffee. It drives the staff nuts, as they constantly change the grind to keep a 25 to 30 second elapsed time for brewing. We all end up wasting coffee, pitching out the little bit left over as we grind the next shot.“

„The drawbacks include a cheap plastic hopper which my son, Andre, broke in his first two minutes after discovering the machine. He is four and he loves grinders. This should not be a problem as long as you are aware of it. More seriously, I had to dial it down to it's finest setting to get a perfect shot of espresso.“

„Everyone who saw it wanted to buy one, so we are now looking into production. We need to do more research to make sure it will apply to all the machines and porta-filters out there, so keep checking Lucidcafé for reports of our progress.“
