Don't like it - looks horrible. Let me do you a favour and take it away so you don't have to look at it anymore
;)

Thank you all, you guys.

Can I ask a question? Why have what is arguably one of the best coffee machines in the world, and pair it with a very plain, not particularly good grinder like a Major? I would have thought you could have found something that performed much much better than that!

I disagree Nothing wrong with a major , albeit there are better grinders I think the mazzer can hold its head up

I did not say there was anything wrong with it. I simply asked why pair a top top end machine with a plain ordinary boring Mazzer major E, or are you seriously suggesting it is at the top of its game!

No , I do know what you mean , I was just trying to emphasise that the grinder in question was capable in its own right and just because there is bigger and better grinders on the market it should not nessacaly be completely dismissed as an inadequate pairing to the machine .

i just think you have a dislike for anything mazer ;-)

Not looking to derail the thread, it is not about my feelings for a MAzzer. Had George proudly had an Eureka 75 next to his machine I would have said the same thing. How many coffee shops across the world have these machines, then some bottom end grinder. The major may be desirable for the hope user but it hardly sets the world alight in domestic or commercial terms. Perhaps the op does not realise that his machine only makes coffee from whatever he put s in!

Happy holidays.

I prefer big flat burrs. I realy like major taste compared to my HG-1. We all know Grinder and temp stability (machine) is the key for exceptional espresso.

Ooooo please tell us more. Customising grinders has never gone well for me.

n.b; You have my dream machine.

Not made by me. A very experienced tech agreed. I 'll keep you informed on the progress.

I am afraid not.

No need RTD to reduce grinder static.

Been watching youtube videos of Speedsters (nothing like a bit of porn on an evening
:whistle:
) Looks like you can play around with how you pull a shot and get different results. Some one even modded a Speedster so it could pull Slayer shots.
