Shot with GRIMAC One Group

[triumphrider9396]

I'm impressed.  Nice job with the handles and the shots.

[triumphrider9396]

Love the custom wooden handles on everything! Did you make those yourself?

Nearly 4 minutes to pull a 38 second shot? Maybe a bit of over tamping. Good thing no one was waiting to drink that coffee. But nice looking machine.

Probably a good machine, but if making a simple god-damn cup of freaking coffee takes THAT much work, fiddling and farting about, I'd say get effed to the machine. And for all that, you ended up with (what looked like) a shot glass/thimble full of pale coffee. Coffee should be simple and quick, and shouldn't take that much fart-arsing about. Thats fucken stupid. ANYthing that is so fiddly is a complete worthless waste of time.

Hi there, i dont mean to be a pain but since you're obviously trying to get the perfect coffee then heres a couple of things you missed.

-You didnt do a proper cooling flush of the group. that water coming out and through your coffee would have been way over temp. you should be flushing at least 200ml through the group right before pulilng your shot.

-start extracting as soon as you lock in the portafilter. if it sits there for even just a few seconds the coffee will start burning.

Cheers :)

Thanks for the NFO, one more thing, what's the grimac model? I went to check ebay, can't find one :( thanks!

[themummafamily]

we have a grimac zola ii three group beast. like i said, big brother, but older too! right now its MA not Dave

[JuanjoChe72]

Ma,

HOLLY COW ..now that's a BIG BROTHER..

[JmanEspresso]

Lovin those rotarys! And ya know, the best thing about a machine like this, is that, unlike, say, a silvia,, even if there is some small chaneling, the shot still is awesome, not perfect, but still great. Without an E-61 or similair, I feel you have to work so hard for a good shot.

Im almost mad at this video.. I just got anita, and everyone is upgrading to a full pro machine. No jeff. no machine upgrades for at least a year! heh heh. ...VBMDD..it calls out to me!

[JuanjoChe72]

Jeff, no upgrades for one whole year... NO WAY.. :D

the Anita is a beautiful machine.. but no for more than a year... hahaha...

Juanjo

[JuanjoChe72]
