Enjoyed the video. Too much wood on wood for me but I really like the concept of that station. I am not the most organized person, and my chaotic workstation can get out of hand so all of your tools having their set place just looks correct. You even have the power brick tucked away and the controller propped up (mine likes to twist sideways and I can't see the lights, so I forget it is on). It even looks like you could slide that tray in and out from under the cabinets. Seems like you have everything thought out! Thank you for sharing with us.
@kitcraft9516 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your keen eye! I can easily follow your line of thought re: colour scheme here, and would share that sentiment - I was testing a bunch of different tools and storage options while merely looking for functionality, not design at all. The latest "design" is much reduced now, and "to the max" I would claim. Less tools in total, only the ones really proving to show a difference in the taste of the brews. That butchered leveller in this clip (I wanted it to fit through the funnel on the basket, so the wide round grip had to go) is not functional at all in my humble opinion. It does not change anything, but costs time, some grounds, and space on the tray... That tray took me a while to find, and yes, I can just lift it and put the whole espresso madness out of the way in one swoop. That is also why the power brick needed its own place on the tray, and out of the way from the main water ways ;-) I might do another overview clip soon, testing - or rather showing - a basket I really like the taste of recently. It is nuts that different baskets create differently tasting results...or maybe I am :-P
How much of a learning curve is there with the flair ? I want to upgrade to the flair one day but using a low end casabrews and I’m finding the world of coffee to be so much fun.
I believe the biggest learning curve is our own understanding of our preferences when presented with new options, here, in taste. The machine is capable for pressure profiles, so, one more variable to toy with than most other machines of any kind offer. But we can choose our variables, so, I for one really welcome the 58+ to my daily experience.
Thank you for sharing that sentiment! May I share what I like most about it? Cutting the handle, so it fits easier into the brew head while the flairs' lever is down, and sanding it so fine it feels like pebbles in a lake. Or grinding out the dosing rings' inner diameter, so leveller and tamper fit through it into the basket. I am learning about wood and metal (and my limitations in honing both), while enjoying using the tools more 🙂
For medium dark roasts, I use 0.8.7 til 0.9.5 - depending on the basket. Coarser on the IMS competition, especially the 7-9 gram 'single shot' type. And finer on the 3Bomber BEP baskets, which I like best so far for 18 gram doppios. I tamp around 15kg though, and water flows 7 bar @90 Celsius. Crazy, but all of that shizzle affects the grind 🙈
@laxaxouxa13 Keen eye you got ;) The regular ones are too long for the flair, in my opinion. Especially the one coming with the machine originally, was usually bumping into the pump lever, when inserting into the brew head - too fiddly for me. So I got this one for about 12 bucks from ebay or so, sawed it off and polished it up to 3000 grit. And yes, I think that was totally worth it :-))
@@luminodotcity I also believe that a shorter handle would me more convenient for the flair, that's why I asked you. Also nice idea, I might also get one spare handle from ali and trim it. Thank you
@axaxouxa13 The thread size of the flair portafilter head likes the "M10" size, just in case you were unsure. And trimming it is simple, depending on the hardness of wood used. I am not good with wood work, I got lucky (and not injured, even more lucky!), using a handheld power jigsaw and also holding the handle freely - but I wanted that nice slope that fits perfectly underneath the pump lever. Anyways, good luck with that, take care!
@@antiwoosh4302 I share that sentiment. Shakers and even levelers I can not justify for my taste and prep. But a good WDT, with adjustable distance/angle of the needles to each other, and a good way to store it (magnets, so simple), is greatly appreciated.
Just got the 58+ and struggling with the initial draw down. It seems as though if I fill the group head with water, the initial pull up - then pull down. Results in no output. I have to do it multiple times. Maybe it’s tied to water not dispersing down to the portafilter when I pull up? Not sure
@joshblevs Hi there - since I can not see what exactly is going on, and have no idea what you already know or do not yet know, it is not easy to recommend anything, and also not to sound like a condescending idiot ;-) Let me try to help and therefore, get a picture. - Do you fill the brew head with water, and to the rim, while the lever is down? - Did you pre-heat the machine, and what temperature does the water have when you fill it into the chamber? - Does the pressure gauge show anything when you press down? - How fine is the ground coffee in your basket? How high did you fill it, and how hard did you tamp?
@@DaarkMana Thanks for clearing this up, I was looking for an answer that was already there 🙂 Nothing against some meditation though, seriously. That's why I sold my automatic WDT, true story.

Sweet setup :)
How long do you need to grind with the 1zpresso to get to the right size?
@Argentlcon
Uncut here, from around 48 seconds into the clip:
ruclips.net/video/-Xjuyv4iIO4/видео.html
Awesome setup!
Please tell me which espresso range do you use on the j-ultra? how is the manual 100-170 clicks?
For medium dark roasts, I use 0.8.7 til 0.9.5 - depending on the basket.
Coarser on the IMS competition, especially the 7-9 gram 'single shot' type. And finer on the 3Bomber BEP baskets, which I like best so far for 18 gram doppios.

How long did it take without the cuts, excluding clean up?
Roughly four minutes, I reckon.
Nice portafilter handle. Where did you buy it from?

I have almost the exact same setup. You should consider the bomber shaker cup, it’s like Weber workshops but a fraction the cost
Good idea, thanks!
@@luminodotcity Shakers are messy and finicky imo. Been doing it for a few months, would rather use a moonraker / autocomb

Grind coarser
@@craeeg😊
Nice setup! For how long do you wait after pouring the water to press?
@DaarkMana I am not sure what you mean exactly - is that not visible within this clip?
@@luminodotcity I didn't noticed you started the timer at that precise time. Thanks.
@@DaarkMana Thanks for clearing this up, I was looking for an answer that was already there 🙂

What grind setting on 1zpresso?
Which 1Zpresso do you use?
🙂☕
