While using a V60 large size, i have the glass I have the plastic, which I prefer not to use the plastic for health reasons, and now I bought the metal titanium. I keep trying to follow Vincent on tails Coffee recipes. He mostly uses the metal V60, but for some reason I cannot get my recipes that were perfect now Tasting bitter and quite off. It barely has any of unique taste of my coffee. They are really tasting bad. so the question is ☆☆ do any of you find a big difference in the metal brewer compared to ceramic ,plastic, or any other cone brewers in taste ❓️not in timing with the drawdown, this is only about taste. Can the metal or titanium? Make the coffee taste that terrible :/

Best smallish thermal decanter to keep coffee warm. A lot of them cool off too quickly. Maybe an hour or so . The harrio looks nice, but it's metal and metal alone does not keep coffee warm ?

Hey everyone,
I'm having trouble with the grind size as well as the grind quality of the 078s.

I've had the grinder for several years, since its launch. At first I tried to use it with the Flair Pro and it needed an unusually low grind size of about 1, and the quality wasn't there either. When I asked around, others used all kind of random values ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 which seems very inconsistent. Flair Pro needs coarse size in general.
People said that it also needed heavy seasoning to work right.

Since my workflow and results weren't great, I switched to mostly pour-over for the next several years. I never felt the quality was really great, but pour-over can be pretty forgiving.

Now I got a proper espresso machine and I'm trying to use the Sculptor as part of a good workflow. However it is almost impossible to calibrate it. I've set the chirp point to about 0.5, and if I grind just above the chirping it still runs too fast. In case it was channeling, I went even more coarse but just runs faster.

I've disassembled, cleaned thorougly and reassembled the machine 3 times trying to find consistency but at the end it's the same story.

Even if I grind at 0.5 with chirping it might run too fast. But sometimes I manage to choke it instead. But I haven't found any consistency in adjusting it. Making it slightly coarser runs fast again, and then grinding at chirping also runs fast.

In contrast, if I use my 1zpresso K-Plus hand-grinder it's pretty easy to find the grind size, of about 3, which also leaves a lot of leeway for adjustments.

Since I already have this grinder which is supposed to be higher-end, it feels like a shame to buy another, because it's not working as it's supposed to. I was wondering if these issues ring any bells, and if anyone has any tips that could lead me in finding a solution and keeping the 078s as part of the workflow.

Love my BBE. Need a new grinder.

Hey there, looking for some advice about this grinder. I'm new to hand grinders.

I read conflicting information about how to use it - my understanding is that it's one revolution with 15 numbers, with a little more than three times this number in "clicks." Is this correct? I've been experimenting for like 3 months and I can't seem to crack it.

I'm using it in Kalita Wave 185 (which I know can be slow), but I've also used it in the B75 (known to be very fast). Drawdowns are always slow, and I've tried everything else to make it go faster.

My bed is always concave at the end, and the coffee usually has some tasting notes but is very dry.

I've tried every number from like 10-15 and beyond. Even at the highest number I can't get coarse settings with boulders. So, at this point I imagine I can't get more than a medium-fine grind, and/or that it might just be uneven particles.

I'm getting to a point where I'm just going to buy a new one, but I'm a little frustrated since I've been having mediocre cups of premium beans for two months and would rather not buy an additional grinder and have this one go to waste.

Wondering if someone might be able to provide some insight or troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, all I have been using both the V60 switch, which I have the filters from hario which is a 4-6 cup white and V60 3-4 cup white by cafec with the orange writing on it, I think it's the. Regular? I'm really getting tired of folding the sides for it to fit. And even the cafec does not fit my brewer walls at all alot of air leading for bypass. What filters are all of you V60 folks. using. ? I'm due to buy both filters again and I would prefer not to buy the same if there's something better.
