Hi,
I'm Pedro from Coffee Parts
I often talk about how on a Sunday I like slowing it down
and really experiencing slow espresso.
So I've got two of my favorite products out.
A hand grinder from Lyn Webber called the HG1
and a coffee machine from La Marzocco called Lever X
I thoung we could pull some shots and really enjoy the moment.
So these are two of my favorite machines that love original beautiful design.
I love how Lyn Weber have really created a beautiful product
that's inspirational and really slows down the espresso.
You've got an 83mm conical blade from the Mazzer Robor
in a very slow hand motion with a beautiful flywheel
and the La Marzocco
you got a fully, basically commercial La Marzocco
built for home with the water reservoir
in a way that they're reinvented the lever
They've looked at the lever, got rid of all the dangerous approaches of the lever,
coming back, flipping back up, built in a clutch, exposed
all the beautiful look and really made it a mechanical, beautiful experience.
So let's get into it and have a coffee together.
I got 20 grams of coffee.
That we pre-weighed
Just going to load into the Lyn Weber
And I just going to grind into the tumbler
Under here we do have a paddle that goes around
To distribute the coffee better.
Let's get started
Getting there.
Now, as
An everyday experience it's probably not something I want to be doing.
I do like eletric grinders, but as an occasional experience,
maybe on a weekend I really do find that satisfying.
And watching the coffee come out is really beautifully distributed, fluffy
and even there's something quite magical to grinding and watching it come out,
Now, getting that portafilter clean that out,
putting the tumbler on it
and lifting out the middle section.
I mean, a wide area of any of the coffee Just bringing that in
as we lift that
hopefully we will made a little bit of a mess.
Not ideal, but
it is what it is.
Tamp that down
and just lock-in into the La Marzocco
Depending on how far we bring down the lever will depend
on how much volume we're getting the shot.
So we want to make this quite a short shot.
We're actually just going to start it here and bring it down.
Then we're going to look on the screen
there to see what is showing us and then letting a pre infuse
and then bringing it back up, letting that shot run.
It`s not actually going to cut off the shot.
So I got to pull the cup a little bit early.
I'm just going to cut out of there.
And that is it
So, lets enjoy
I really do like
the coffee made like this is about the experience the moment.
Now I understand both these machines are up there in price.
so I guess they're not what you'd call affordable machines.
Beautiful.
But not affordable.
But you could get the same result,
And the same experience using a hand grinder.
So, something like Timemore, Comandante
And there is a lot of levers that will also give you that journey
and a more affordable price point, Think of something like the flair 58
or even other versions of the flair, The little Nomad
there is quite a few slow coffee experiences you can get from a hand grinder
And from a Lever machine without been the HG1
Or Lever X
in saying that if these were the two machines
you could fit on your bench and have at home.
They are absolutely beautiful.
We have done reviews.
If you actually wanted to know a bit more about these products on the HG1
on the La Marzocco Lever X and all the products mentioned,
