You have left over coffee grounds in your grinder, depending on retention amount and humidity leaving the ground in the grinder for 30 days is too much?
some ppl don't mind leaving ground peanut butter on the knife over a month and reusing it, but I prefer cleaning it after I am done.

U can do backflushing weekly, better than not doing at all. Keeping group clean so that what is left there wouldn't affect the taste of your coffee.

how clean one like their things really personal. some ppl wash jeans weekly, other annually or never.

5400 not simple at all, 300gm capacity

There are many less expensive ones

From my last visit to Starbucks roastery in Seattle, their reserve is ship out of Seattle. One not expected to find a lot of them. Expensive beans, their roastery exclusive beans cost even more! Usd$22 for 8oz. Not impress with them.

At the HQ beans are degas for 7-10 days before they serve. Not tried it there cause across the street I have victorla, 5 mins away I get slumptown

No, I don't check
What do you watch for? Light roast? Some roast is supposed to be light.

From here, seem like u can weed out b4 roast easily. Roasted seem harder

Quakers can be brittle like the rest of the beans. You found quakers in your beans?

Under control system maybe need to cup once to make sure setting is right. With change of beans maybe should do it. But it's not normal to do it really if one cannot tell diff. If one makes milk base drinks subtle diff often masked.

Green? Or 2kg roasted?

2kg, u finish your beans fast

Not been to Central America, maybe there is a place to get just no idea

How good do you need?
Which delonghi model?

Name brands you are limited unless u want to buy Chinese brands on taobao. Someone claim they better value as they lack of marketing

Your budget really cannot demand for good. Most ppl here definition of good is a HX. I own a themo block machine but they are like 4-5x your budget. It last me like 10yrs

Define small? What kind of coffee

Not the right grinder if you making espresso
Remember jack of all trades master of none

Go for it!
Those restaurants using a super jolly must be nuts

those looking for use espresso or americano and dont want complex machine, just complex method.
try this

Crowd funding program it’s a gamble as always
Or just wait and pay more let others experience it first
