As per Attilos post above.
Coffee can be different not worse or bad but just different with a range of gear.
I did some testing a little while ago with a K8 (84mm flat burr) and a K10 (68mm conical) set them both up to run similar shot times on the same dose and yep they were different. To taste the k10 by fraction but I wouldnt have been upset by th K8 shots.
Also ran a few back to back tests ( I want to do more of this) 55mm Izzo against the 58mm Fioranzato Levers. 55mm Izzo is better than the 58mm across the board (so far), the 58 is never a bad shot but there is a little something extra in the 55mm.
I suppose the point here is get the best out of whatever gear you have with good technique will kick the ass of a numpty at your local cafe on their YAWN :
Synesso/Robur or LSM or ....... if the dont care or dont take the time to get it right.
