Try using silicone rubber self fusing tape. It's use to wrap up radiator hose and can withstand high temperature. As it is flexible and stick well to hard surface, should be able to prevent leak at joint. Can get this from Ace Hardware. Make sure you stretch the tape a bit while wrapping.

Thanks,
i will kept that in mind. For now, i will try to disassemble, clean and reassemble while apply new threadlocker to see if the leak due to wear on the old thread locker which advice by some expert ppl from elektros.


I rather not getting any chemical involve in the process. I will try to used heat gun to remove it since i saw many video show that it can be remove by heating up the area.

Update: Finally, I defeated the legendary fomidable red loctite 272 with mininal damage done. Boiler still intact with no dent and some small scratches and ding on the anti vacuum nut.... Now to wait for the actual used loctite which i just order from elektros.

Correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't grind size, pressure and temperature affect extraction while water to coffee ratio affects the strength?

And yeah i know i should just do whatever taste the best to me but i am really curious about the science behind it all.

The problem with that comparison in the link is that it doesn't state the amount of ground coffee used. I am more interested to know if different brew methods contain the same amount of caffeine if the same amount of grounds are used.

yes in fact grind size, pressure, temperature and water ratio is in relation to the strength and caffeine in the cup, and ofcoz the time infused as well (Eg: Espresso 25-30sec, pour overs 2.30 - 3 mins, cold brew 24h). But coffee roasters play an important role as well to give the coffee beans the exact characteristic of the coffee to shine and makes us appreciate every bean from the farmers to the brewers!!

some coffee roaster whom operates cafes as well is something i find interesting they can roast the beans profile matching their high end pressure profiling machine to the "Sweet spot" which i find it hard to replicate at home!! and that something i would pay for a cup of joe (Extraordinary joe)

Morning guys, Watch this last night.....Battle between two of the most wanted entry level grinders....



damm hard to decide which grinder i want to get now.... obviously love the mignon also at the same time love the speed of sette....

well another video for you!!

and its as fast as my 64mm!! LOL that alone I'm impressed!! need to buy one and put it side by side and compare the shots! if i don't like either one i can sell it here!? Maybe? LOL

Sounds like you have science experiment here

just saw Delonghi ec680 coffee machine (Rm999) with Delonghi KG89 grinder (RM299).

First timer here, good enough for new user like me?

What is ur expectation? Do u expect cafe quality brew & latte art?

Whats ur budget?
Quality brew equipments around 5k

Sure, only if you're planning to sell the Sette
I'll probably replace my home 64mm with it

Hey! Wait in line-lah!!

Seriously though, the specs & pedigree are really attractive. The low retention is a huge plus in my books.

I wonder how much it will cost when it lands on our shores (with the falling ringgit, probably RM2K!!)

come, group buy. hahaha

Hi guys! I was wondering whether anyone could enlighten me on the price of coffee beans in Malaysia?
Retail and wholesale price please? Any legit suppliers around?

Sorry too straightforward, thank you!!

so long already no one answer my question.... lolz

What is your question again ?

both had its goods and bad....i would choose mignon over sette after much consideration....
Yeah, sette is good, digital, direct to portafilter without wastage and fast..... but the grind is not as fine as mignon....programmable timer ? I can live it .... once set, then all done, you wont need them anymore unless you constantly change beans same goes for the dail, Clump from the grind, hmm what machine doesn't clump ..... fast, well im not doing any coffee bar or shop.... i love taking my time making a cup of coffee i love

but my consideration might not be agree by some...

Personally I would still wait. The Sette everyone's getting today is still pre-production and I'm sure Baratza may still tweak it. To me the biggest advantage of the Sette is the minimal waste which is important for me with my lower consumption, and Baratza's very good customer service. Don't particularly care about the speed.

The other slight advantage for me is that I may be in the US when it's launched so I might just pick one up

i agree too the timer and weight is not important for me as long as i have consistency!! we are all "home barista" anyway plenty of time to make quality coffee. but bases on some reviews they mention its finest is comparable with the mignon!!! and that is what interest me!! LOL

True true, because what they had could be pre alpha version of grinder.... fingers cross

It is just all base on the feelings....that sometime it is hard to make judgement but it all comes down to who do you trust the most in your review...some say SCG review is crap some say WLL is good.... if only we could test out on real life

What's the preoccupation with fineness? Once the grinder can reach the level of choking the espresso machine, is there any need to go even finer? Doing turkish?

The thing I like with conicals are the effectively-zero retention. For home use (just a few shots a day) this is a concern to me.

Don't really follow the fineness concern myself as well. Unless you guys are using Nordic roasts and have pressure profiling machines (Synesso, LM GS/3, Rocket R60V etc.), you won't be going too fine anyways.
For me zero retention is not about waste but rather the contamination from one coffee to the next. This is quite important for filter brewing where grind fineness is pretty standard and you're cycling between many different coffee origins a day. Or even when doing cupping where you're grinding 4-5 different beans in succession. I've gotten way too tired having to brush/blow between beans.

a.k.a EK43 !!

If you're a set and forget, using the same blend day in day out with just minor adjustments to compensate for aging, temps then yeah, maybe even the Mignon is enough
