sure kid. for me it would be a long interstate road trip in a car that runs leaded gas, has no A/C and only an AM radio.

¿Por qué no dos?

Indeed. Marketing and convenience make it popular.

Never go back to the capsule machines. They all still suck.

An Aiden would be a good choice to supplement the Profitec but you could also look at a Clever Dripper which will do up to 500ml of brew at one time. Do you have a seperate grinder that could be used with a Clever Dripper?

I use a Clever Dripper at the office because it uses very the least amount of my time to make a consistently good cup of filter coffee. It is also quite forgiving if you get interrupted and the grounds steep for a few minutes longer than planned.

time to lose the bf?

Before 1989 he was best known as sleazy and lower profile racist.

Jeebus! Here I am shopping for new laptop since my P53 is aging out. I don't do much engineering work anymore so I was looking at T16 units or maybe a P16s.

I am terrified of looking at the Elitebooks since the one I had 15 years ago was complete shite.

Those ultra light nordic roasts are fun.

I had an Ethiopian bean that had Bergamot as a note and it had this lovely Earl Grey tea flavor note. I have been chasing that for some time but it is rare to find.

I am based in Vietnam. When I bought this Opus, the DF64 wasn't yet available here and the DF54 was still years away. Also, Baratza brand grinders are not available in Vietnam other than a special order through one distributor who doesn't keep stock on hand and the prices are 50% higher than in the USA. As such, the Opus was the best available choice for an electric grinder when I purchased it. I had already been using some very nice hand grinders for roughly a decade and was just sick of hand grinding daily since I am not exactly young anymore.

How do I like it? It gets the job done. The grind quality is generally very good. It can produce a fair amount of fines depending upon the bean (some Ethiopian and some gesha beans I find to produce a lot more fines than other beans but that is also true on other grinders). I only used it for pour over and moka pot at home before moving it to the office where is it exclusively used with the Clever Dripper now. As such, I have never had to deal with the micro adjust inner ring like one would for espresso dial in.

The biggest negative to me is the retention. Without using RDT and giving it a good bongo drum treatment after each grind, it will retain more grinds than is desirable. With RDT and a few bongo whacks on the top, it greatly reduces the amount of retention.

I don't see me replacing it as long as it still works are currently.

From what I have read, the Opus 2 seems to have fixed the grinds retention problem and completely eliminated the micro adjustment inner ring.

At the $200 price point, it and the Baratza grinders are still good electric choices but Shardor's 64mm flat burr looks good and the conical G5 Hibrew is interesting. When you go up in budget, the DF54 becomes potentially more attractive, if you are an espresso person and want less plastic in the build of the grinder.

I live in Vietnam so I am able to get these from a specialty roaster here.

Most of the specialty coffee grown in Vietnam is consumed in Vietnam. I hope you can find some where you live.

The standard burrs on the Ode 2 are pretty good. I am quite happy with it.

Those Ethiopian beans do make a lot more fines than other beans.

The Oxo conical is probably fine for someone not deep into specialty coffee.

If I were buying today, I might take a chance with the DF54 or the Shardor 64mm flat burr grinder which are both under $300. On Amazon the Shardor is on sale now for $250.

I wish roasters would keep using the generally accepted terms for the roast level.

They call this a Filter Roast but what is that? Since these guys are in Norway, I assume it is a light or maybe light/medium but there is no way of knowing for sure based on the info.

Rant over: This sounds like a yummy bean. I like the pink bourbons and the flavor notes sound nice.

I stopped caring what folks thought a long time ago.

I'd try it

The availability of many different 64mm burrs to upgrade the DF64 would make it much more appealing to me.

I've also heard about the DF54 having substantial retention problems.

I have had a moka pot and still have a stainless steel French press and a V60 pour over brewer hot plate and gooseneck kettle in a cabinet at the office.at the office but I am now especially happy with the Clever Dripper due to the simplicity and small of amount of direct input time needed to make a consistently good cup. The company used to have a Nespresso machine in the executive kitchen and still provides instant to all staff but I hated the Nespresso and the instant requires cream and sugar to be consumed.

I almost always use RDT with my Ode 2. In my experience some beans need it more than other but it generally is better to use RDT.
