I have the mignon manule and its fine,. Would be a faf going from one to the other, but then i also have a wilfa svart, you could get one of those for 60 to 80 used.

400 is fine for what you need, will want a decent key for the primer/paints to stick

@Black Cat Coffee sort this man a mignon asap

But you could get this lol

No you cant with the sage.

Stick to double n split the shot. Singles are arguably harder to pull

Try them as americano, someone's bright taste is another person's sour

Why buy twice though, a sage is 340 new and will sell for 200 used

dunno the vid @Northern_Monkey posted looked like a ball ache, or he has girly arms hehehehe

a la pavoni your pulling the shot by had, and by the looks you need some force to do so, if the mrs is making brews too then that would be a massive no from me

try pulling a 40s shot, see what happens, 9 times out of 10 were all under extracting without knowing it

or go insane trying to use it, like i did i nearly smashed mine up with a hammer haha

go for the lelit elizabeth, yes its a grand but buy once and be done. then buys a mignon grinder £300 or a niche £500 and your set for life

I found pulling a tad longer helped too So 17g in 40g out around 35 to 40 sec

Only in the morning..
