Re: My humbling experience with the new La Pavoni Lever
yes, i think the problem i was having with the Mahlkonig was probably more to do with me getting used to the La Pavoni Lever machine, or the beans, or the phase of the moonor the fact that I had just installed new burrs before starting with the lever machine, and I didnt set it close enough to true zero - I was in a rush to finish the job when I did it, and I didnt want to ruin my $160 burrs.
Ive re-set zero point since then, and Im getting a much finer grind when needed now. However Ive also taken Mahl to work & brought the Mazzer home. Im much quicker & more comfortable finding the right grind point with the Mazzer - ive had it much longer & its micrometric not stepped.
My problem is i have too many choices (toys). Now time to bid on that Auction - theres a nice little Ascaso i-mini up for grabs!
