Re: [MBZ] OT - Motor Rotation now Espresso
It depends on the machine, the beans and the person working the machine and beans. (With old beans, poor quality beans, or a low-end machine, then it is less likely; with fresh, good beans and any sort of pump-operated machine (without a pressurized portafilter), then yes, it's highly likely that a normal (even a non-coffee type) person could taste the difference).

John wrote: The difference is that a burr grinder provides a more consistent grind. The other thing purists at home-barista (HB) posit is that the dull burrs found in most burr grinders are not sharp and merely crush the roasted coffee bean rather than cut the beans to fine brew grinds. The difference in flavor may only be realized as you brew to the max doing espresso - I don't know. Brewing coffee and pulling espresso shots is enjoyable - about as enjoyable as driving a 3-pedal 240D. Back to burrs from Italy - shipping is rather prohibitive. Item costs half the shipping cost. Does anyone know how to get around this? Does anyone have contacts in Italy or Europe that can ship to me cheap?

Re: [MBZ] OT - Motor Rotation now Espresso
I am not any sort of expert on espresso machines, but I think my Saeco Aroma with pressurized portafilter provides nearly optimum extraction without much fussing about exact tamping pressure. I absolutely agree that the quality and freshness of the beans is critical. I have a good friend who fusses more about beans and grind. I have had some samples at the Stumptown he frequents and I think my Saeco does better with my beans of lesser marques. As with ANY culinary pursuit, ingredient quality is always a prerequisite!

Re: [MBZ] OT - Motor Rotation
I presume you know of orphanespresso.com (mainly lever machine parts), as well as cafeparts.com (more commercial stuff) and espressoparts.com, since you read home-barista.com :) I've got an old Rancilio Audrey (predecessor of Sylvia) and a Cunill Tauro grinder. I've got an Astoria Lady SAE/1 (110v) on the bench for a rebuild... All my MB's are two pedal and compression ignition (turbo); one 85 300D and two 99 E300's -- John W Reames jream...@verizon.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On May 25, 2013, at 12:18, Mountain Man maontin@gmail.com wrote: John wrote: Ordering OE burrs is probably the best bet; many of the aftermarket ones have fit and/or durability issues... (This is presuming a commercial grinder...) You might also want to check the bearings in the motor; I replaced burrs years ago, and didn't look at the bearings; I ended up having to tear it down again to replace those. Thank you for the advice. Vintage (1980's?) Quick Mill 025B is not commercial, but it has decent cutting burrs, I think. Search ebay for item 380639095939 for item same as mine, yes I use 220v step-up transformer. I guess I will need to contact quickmill to see if they sell burrs so that I can insure proper fit - shipping is too expensive to mess around with poor fit.

[MBZ] OT - Motor Rotation
I plan to order espresso grinder burrs. I was told to order burrs based on which way the motor turns, i.e. right or left turn motor have different burrs. Why is motor rotation right or left? Why isn't motor rotation clockwise or counter-clockwise? And then the guy I contacted gave me these web pages which do not decipher burrs for right or left turn motor? - or am I blind? http://www.chisko.com/prodotto-145415/MACINE-QUICK-MILL-D-43-DX.aspx http://www.chisko.com/prodotto-145414/MACINE-QUICK-MILL-D-43-SX-.aspx clik translate site on left column, second box down to read stuff in english Using translate.google I was able to decipher that a destra means to the right and a sinistra means to the left - correct? - anyone know italian? so I assume the DX is right turn motor and SX is left turn motor?
