Re: Sunbeam Promo Free EM0480
Yep,
Point appreciated MM.... However, it was my son who queried me initially about the coffee made using the LSM grinder, asked me if I was using a new blend or roast (it was still the same roast batch we had been using for the past few days) as he thought the brew had a much more distinctive flavour profile, i.e. individual flavour characteristics seemed to be more delineated and more easily identifiable. I still had Rocky on the bench at this stage so cranked him up and made another brew straight away to compare directly, and in my view he was right. The brews made using the LSM as opposed to the Rocky were more transparent.
I dont really know why this should be, perhaps the LSM is able to maintain the exact orientation of the burr-plates more accurately than the Rocky, and somehow this translates to a more narrow grading of particle size? The LSM does seem to create a grind that has little or no fines in its make-up, whereas the Rockys output does create a small fraction of fines which possibly leads to over-extraction of this grind fraction resulting in a slightly "muddied" flavour profile. It beats me
, but the result in the cup is quite noticeable, and thats where it counts....
