    Strangely enough my first batch came out quite hot. Next day was great when I calibrated it correctly.
    Loving the brazen so far. Great coffee and solid build quality and finish.

    Yes, per the manual the calibration is in feet.

    Altitude calibration is not a "biggie" for Aussies, you live at sea level, we all do! - (a generalisation that will be correct most of the time)

    Water boils at 1C earlier for every 300m in altitude so for most everyone in Australia the difference will be minor. A lot of people in other countries live at altitudes higher than Kosciuszko so it's a great feature for them.

    I've only really used the Brazen calibration once in anger when we spent a few days at Mt Hotham village (about 6000 feet).

    Ive had many drip brewers in my life, Behmor included. Ive always used a a ditting bag grinder when grinding for paper filter or the mesh filters.

    A while back i came across a moccamaster grinder on here for sale and thought id give it ago. I have to say its really done the job for both paper and mesh filter brewing. Its only suitable for this however its a lot less pricey than some of the other contenders. Really impressed with the grind of it for this process and have not used my ditting for this since.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    That’s correct. Minor increments make a big difference for espresso. Not so much for filter brew.

    I suspect that grinding for brewing has larger tolerances than for espresso.

    Since my Mignon is off duty now as I’ve got an Atom 75 for espresso, it seems to be OK as I’m not switching bring settings.

    We start with 92C / 45 seconds pre-soak / 1.2L water / 75g coffee.

    Keeping those settings and adjusting the grinder seems to get the best results. Typically the Americans grind very coarse (like hitting beans with a hammer) but I find the AU taste is bit finer but your taste buds will tell you which works best.

    We tend to use paper filters at work and home, mostly out of laziness and easy clean up but used the gold basket successfully for many years before we imported the right paper.

    Enjoy!

    Thanks to BeanBay, my brazen plus 3 arrived yesterday. Put on to duty today with eureka Mignon. 72gm dose of Columbia roast from local roaster and result was pretty good. I’m sure I’ll get better slowly.
    the brazen looks like a solid machine. Calibrating it was pretty easy and just using the gold filter for now. Will get paper filters when I order beans from beanbay next.

    Yes. I understand. I'll read through the threads .

    I can't / won't answer which grinder but it appears you might want to have a read of espresso grinder threads instead as that question makes no sense in this thread now.
