Hi, I also got this grinder on a preorder when it first came out, have you noticed that if you drop the RPM you are able to use a higher setting to generate the same pressure for espresso? I am using a quickmill silvano and have noticed that if the pressure is too low i can drop the rpm by a few hundred and it will increase the pressure of the next shot for the same grind setting on the dial. I'm not too sure as to why, might be worth experimenting with
Hi friend, ive also have been enjoying the Alm Kopi lever. Its beautiful and a pleasure to use. I have been eyeing up the ak74. I see that in a previous video you adjusting the zero point for bettet espresso range. This video shows it on setting 2 with what looks like either IMS or VST basket. I am using a high extraction basket like Wafo, Pesado HE, which have to grind even finer. That leaves only 2 cliclks for the ak74. Have you played with other baskets. This grinder is beautiful but seems very limited on espresso range
I respect your efforta and videos. Just seems that if setting 2 = ims/vst then , setting 0 - 2 doesnt leave much for dialing in espresso with H.E. I've enjoyed your videos amd appreciate your relationship with Starseeker , but they missed a huge opportunity here. With so many flat burr grinders in the market today, especially focused for espresso, the Ak74 cpuld of had so much potential. Please pass on the feedback to Starseeker

So honest opinion. If youre more espresso focused than pour over, would you say the Ak74 is very limited in its range
No, I believe it will go well with filter than espresso as espresso requires wide range.

Thanks for your words. I didn't try it with HE Basket yet. Let's see.
