Re: A Week with Mazzer Kony -e
I agree jb.... 8-)
I think the beans used, blend components/ratio, roast depth and all sorts of things to do exclusively with the beans themselves plays a big part on how the beans end up in the GH Basket and how they produce the goods in the cup at the end, where it really counts.
With regard to the nutating action tamp... You need to make sure you only use very light force while executing this and finish up with a level tamp of normal weight, all in one action. This way, youre not disturbing the final cohesivity of the puck or its seal against the walls of the basket. Takes a little practice to get the action down pat but is really effective at ensuring the coffee bulk density throughout the puck is very uniform, no voids and no higher density clump areas. Maybe this is what you already do and if so, please ignore everything Ive written.
Maybe someone should start up a Large Conical Grinder thread where we can all wax lyrical at length about the joys of using one of these beauties....
