    Synesso baskets showing 0.0014 and 0.0015 holes new (assume inches as US site) were showing 0.0016 to 0.0018 after 21 months.
    Ah, I misread the above...
    1.5 thou' diameter holes, not the range of tolerance to size.
    That is one small, little, tiny hole alright; about the thickness of fine human hair.
    I guess they use specialised laser measuring instruments for this sort of thing...

        I need some good coffee. In line with the thread on here about ok quality coffee being available in stores, but against my better judgement, I bought some store brand beans from a big regional chain when they were on sale this week. Between the sale price and a couple of other discounts the price was so low I gave in and bought a few bags to test figuring I'd do a pot/few cups of each and give the rest of the beans away. I've now tested 2 of the bags, an espresso blend and a Colombian blend. I won't even bother opening the other 2 bags. <Shudder> Even with hardly any sense of smell or taste, which is why I figured it'd be safe to try them now, they were the worst cups of coffee I can ever remember having! I'm going to have to sterilize every piece of equipment they've touched to avoid any cross contamination with my usual beans.

      Given this thread is about the pores in our VST baskets opening up I'm guessing that is the key factor in your coffee experience. Let us know how you get on after testing with a brand new VST basket.
      ;-P

        Sorry, never gonna happen.


        I do not like them
        matth-3-wh.
        I do not like them green or brown,
        I do not like
        them any how..

        I do not like them in a tea.
        I do not like them with a VST.
        I do not like them if it is new or old.
        I do not like them here or there.
        I do not like them anywhere!

        I have my gear now finally sterile.
        Never again will it be so feral.
        How truly rotten they really were.
        Never again will my burrs see their ilk,
        Not even with milk.
        Not here nor there!
