As I've heard from other coffee youtubers, spinning your tamper while adding pressure is bad for the extraction. But I still doesn't know if it's true or not.

My Hottop roaster recently died on me and I'm looking for a replacement. I had issues with the Hottop's capacity and with no dealers in the UK, sourcing new filters/replacement parts became a tiresome affair. However, 10 years of loyal service is not to be sniffed at. Now, though, I have the opportunity to tick the boxes the Hottop couldn't. Praise goes out to the great people at Hottop, a family company. I picked up my machine from Chang Yue's son, the World needs more people like him and Shelly, back in Taiwan, was always helpful and an encyclopedia of information. I looked at the Cormorant, but thought it a little too 'Heath Robinson'. The Aillio appeared better assembled, but at the price point I want a much better cooling arrangement and the pointless bean tryer [yes pointless], will have me on my soapbox. The classic version weirdly placing the tryer handle in the path of the evacuation shute. Also a manual shute itself is far from impressive. It's a strange marketplace with, sadly, too many designs requiring continual adjustment [or bluntly, phaffing about]. This is fine for the fantasists who think they're running a scientific experiment [but have no real understanding of science], but I'm all grown up. So far buying pre-roasted beans has been a bit of shock. Witnessing up close the treatment metered out to innocent beans by charlatans is something I can do without. In my continuing search I've just begun to scratch the surface that is Turkey. Hope may be just around the corner and 2,700 miles down the road.

Excellent video! Thank you! Would you recommend this machine in terms of shot quality? Is it a dealbreaker the fact that it doesn't have an OPV?

Does the espresso one show ratio also ?

Do you have a link to both of them ?

Is it connected ?

I like the form factor. Does it have Bluetooth for use with Decent, etc?

When are they available?

When switching your machine to direct plumbing instead of reservoir, do you leave the reservoir tank in the machine or take it out?

Thanks for showing this clearly. This is exactly what I was looking for.

What didn’t you grind the coffee right into the portafilter ? Thanks

Why wouldn’t you just plumb into your tap line and drain, makes no sense unless this is a trailer

For the longest time, the ek43 was the gold standard. In general i didn't like the espresso from it at coffee shops. I always thought it spun too fast. I think lance confirmed that, or hoffman did too. I'm looking forward to this grinder and speed variability. Burrs are pricey but if the time comes to try a different one. I'll be happy there is a huge selection.

My sette 270 is in a sound box, double wall and it's horribly loud. The primary reason i just bought this 83v. I'm looking forward to it. Bought form you.

Good video, but a couple differences: my grinder had black and red wires vs. blue and red, and they didn’t pull out so easy like yours when you remove the old button (I had to cut the wires to remove old button).

@Espresso Outlet LLC 7:13-8:05 "spot on" ???

Hi, thank you for the great video! What do you think about the noise?

How clean the boiler please

Is there a way to control how much pressure is being used? The machine advertises 15 bar, but can you change the pressure? Ideally, I would like to pull espresso with 9 bars of pressure.

if the burrs are reinserted 180degrees out by mistake how would you tell if you continued to re-zero?

I have the Pesado High extraction baskets size M and L. My go to before was the 18 g VST, but there is no going back from the Pesado. The Pesado High extraction filters does require a finer grind and my Eureka Perfetto had to go as it could only handle dark roast for the Pesado. Super happy with the portafiler and filterbaskets from Pesado. It really makes a taste difference. Use mostly the medium filter with 15-16g of coffee. Mind you that these filters are much ticker than any other filers I have tried and also had mine for about 6 months now and it has no bending like the VST got pretty fast.

Are there new versions of the gen 2 releasing? I just received mine with a silver power button on the side, a black dosing cup without the collar extension, and a rubber attachment that allows it to fit smaller 54mm dosing accessories. I actually prefer these options, but its even different still than what you're showing. Mine shipped from China I'm pretty sure.

Not sure this question'll make sense, but on my Rancilio Rocky, I can unscrew a part on the inside so that I can bring the zero point to the very front, center of the machine where there's a little arrow that it lines up with. On this, I'm good with finding the zero point, but that little point is off-center and points at about 5 o'clock. I mark that point with the ring and then turn it to to my grind point. It just bugs me that the little ring and that zero point can't be set to the front, middle. Or can it all be adjusted internally in some way to do that? Make sense?

budget 900, only pull-over coffee, need brightness, df64v change burr to SSP RS MP is better choice???

Is there a way, I'm wondering, to adjust the burrs or something else to move the zero point to straight downwards centered on the spout? Having my little ring point to around 5 o'clock is odd to me and bothers me. Yes, this is a first-world problem...but I paid a lot for this thing.

This looks amazing!

I have a DF64V with the standard DLC coated Burrs. Just ordered a set of SSP HU Burrs as I drink mostly espresso and milk based drinks. I heard MP Burrs are tricky to dial in and as I often swap out my coffees I don't have the time to dial in tricky Burrs. I'm hoping the HU will bring out the flavours of espresso especially the lighter fruitier roasts. And also I heard the DF64V is noisier than the standard burrs so hope the HU will be quieter. Your thoughts?

Thanks for posting this, been trying to get into roasting

Awesome trailer, Dylan, thanks for the tour! Please describe the fridge😊

Do these buttons work on both 220v and 110v current?

Have you found any difference in taste between the gen2 with stock burrs vs your gen 1 with SSP HU burrs. I have the Gen2 stock and was considering the burr upgrade to the SSP HU but it seems like you hinted at the burrs being very similar but Im curious of the taste profile? Any info would be appreciated.

Where did you find the Green bean filler? I have searched high and ĺow for 1 with no luck.

What's the height of both models. on the website they have it pegged at the same height but in pictures and your video it looks quite different.

Nice Video. Which bottomless portafilter do you use?

Nah, grinders are coming out fast and furiously. Every few months something better comes out that beats “the best”.

I just ran across this video... thank you SO much! I used to roast from home probably over 15 years ago with a HotTop USA one. What's your take on those (obviously only 250kg) for home roasts per week. I'm looking to get another roaster so I'm starting to do the research again.

Another good video thanks buddy

Thanks for the interesting and informative video mate! but inches? 1.9 inches? WTF 😂🎉

thx for your advice ! - didn't notice the rubber plungers are asymmetrical :D - unavoidable one of the screws fell off into the grinder, but it came back without problems holding it upside down. One ist for shure, even if you're a lazy bear, after 500 double shots the inner outlet is completely clogged and flapper and outlet need a good clean - there was quite a lot crusted ground coffee stuck inside. Should clean it regularly...

Love mine❤ but it has increased my coffee consumption 😊

Question: Why do you coat both burrs? Wouldn't you only see a misalignment on the non-rotating burr?

Sonata, is it heavy enough to manipulate the porta filter without putting your hand on the top? What is the weight of it?

I just purchased this grinder. Pretty impressed.

Nice machine ❤

Thanks! Do you recommend something like Grindz? And how often?

can you do pre infusion .

I'm doing it aswell, but at home, while I'm preparing my coffee, but blowing on the portafilter might not be the best practice from the hygiene standpoint.
