V12man Posted November 24, 2016 Share That Lelit is just another chromebox machine, probably identical to the isomac... and that grinder it comes free with is an isomac grinder... If he isnt going plumbed then he is better off with an HX.. having to constantly fill will get old fast! HX machines use a lot more water than dual boilers - the water dance is not necessary on a db at all. The lelit is substantively different to the isomac dual boiler - just look at the boiler sizes... http://www.isomac.it/model.asp?id=38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon it might need a service as well, had it for almost a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadenceblur Posted November 26, 2016 Share Hi guys, need some advice. Getting a Chemex and am wondering if I could get away with using my Super Jolly for this brew method? Alternatively I have a Krupps burr grinder as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted November 26, 2016 Share that's my concern along with the resultant wastage as well. Do I have to have beans in while making the big adjustment?If you are making the grind looser then you don't have to have it running strictly speaking - but in practice I find it easier when running for both courser and finer adjustments - but there is for sure some waste - I normally just collect it and use it in the filter machine from time to time - fine for non discriminating guests - also works fine in a bialetti pot which seems is not particularly fussy on grind. In your case I would try to find equivalent grinds on both grinders and see if there is a discernable taste difference - if not then the Krupps would become a brew grinder and the sj revert to espresso only. the nerd and cadenceblur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted November 29, 2016 Share Okay. So I'm in the market for a manual grinder. Keen to hear user experiences. Options are the Hario Skerton, mini mill or the Porlex. The grind adjustment on the Skerton sounds like a bit of a pain. Locally available would be preferable and these are all available at present.
