Re: portaspresso - Rosco Hand Grinder
With all the coffee drinkers in the world, Im still dumbfounded that I couldnt buy a decent hand grinder (or portable espresso device for that matter) and had to make my own. The burr set is standard, but everything else is designed and made by yours truly, and spares will remain available, not that I think you will need them.
Im curious, what would you like to modify? Have I missed something? It can be completely dismantled with a phillips screw driver and 14mm spanner in under a minute.
Spares will remain available, but I have not been required to do a spare parts price list at this stage. That said, I have no intention to rip people off.
Yes, and I have a prototype made completely from brass that uses the same cutter and design parameters. Same quality, but smaller overall dimensions and a few difficult to machine components redesigned. The Rosco is primarily designed to work with and match the Rossa, so there are certain requirements that do make it more expensive. If I release the "Rosco Mini", it would sell for something closer to the Pharos. Ive been focusing my time on pressure profiling (you guys dont know what youre missing), so havent got around to deciding whether or not to make any of the Minis. What do people think, do you guys want a cheaper version of the Rosco? Keep in mind that the Rossas filter head will not fit into it. You can only grind into a supplied screw-in cup.

And it has arrived. Seeing as Ive only used the grinder so far (leaving the espresso part until I go away - jumping in at the deep end to learn about it) I thought Id share my initial thoughts in the grinder discussion.
