After doing some research, settled on this grinder to replace our old conical burr grinder. I can't believe how much difference it made in the smoothness of the espresso, we really weren't expecting it to make THAT much difference, but it was substantial. The grinds are light and fluffy, minimal clumps, grinds fast a very quiet. Coffeeaddicts customer service was great as always and lightning fast shipping!

I went with the 17, 25 and 33.8oz stainless steel milk pitchers. 17 for 2 cappuccinos, 25 for 2 lattes and 33.8 for when we have guests over.

These are thicker than other available milk pitchers and have a perfect handle to hang on the side of a machine. As a plus, the 17oz fits perfectly inside the 33.8oz. They are a pleasure to use and they feel like quality. I will have these for the rest of my life.

If I had to choose new milk pitchers.. I'd choose these again and again. If and when friends get espresso machines I will be recommending these. They are timeless.

Cheers!

I paired this with a 58.5mm Motta distribution tool and an 18g IMS Baristapro ridgeless basket. Works PERFECTLY.

Clean lines, feels like quality, will last YEARS.

To set it up, I dosed my go-to 18g portafilter by IMS with ..18g, put it on a bathroom scale and tamped 30lb, twisted the top to be flush with the top of the portafilter and tightened the screw to set the depth. I can do back to back shots without having to worry about tamping unevenly.. Tamping with a regular tamper without caffeine at 5am is not something I am good at! It's much easier now.

A worthwhile investment.

Cheers!

I paired the Motta 58.5mm distribution tool with a PUSH tamper and 18g Baristapro Precision Double Portafilter Basket by IMS. Marc @ Coffee Addicts was kind enough to make sure everything was a snug fit (thanks again!).

Delivery was fast and they even included candy in the box - it felt like a package from an aunt. Oh that ol'auntie.. at it again with the candy eh!

The matte black top is easy to grip and twist to adjust as needed. There was a little resistance at the beginning but that's to be expected. I disconnected the pieces and added some lubricant to the threads. It's got a really nice weight to it so don't drop it on tile floor. It's got clean lines and FEELS like quality.

My morning routine to make great espresso really couldn't be easier now. To add to that.. it's even easy to train someone ELSE to use the tools once you've set them up :). Weigh the beans, grind the beans into the basket, weigh the grinds in the basket, use distributor, tamp, pull a shot 1:2 ratio - WIN. I think it even tastes better when someone else does it.

Anyways this thing feels like something I could use it for 10-20 years. Yep - good investment IMO.

Cheers!

This is actually the 5th time I've purchased this product in the past 20 years... what can I say that my wife hasn't... I'm clumsy at times and paid the price for it... lol

Kidding aside, I love this product. It brews a consistent cup of coffee. I've recommended it to everyone I know and if you're curious enough to be reading this review... just buy it... you will not regret it... Just take the time get to know your personal ratios. Log it in a journal.

Regarding Coffee Addicts... they shipped fast and I liked the hand written thank you. Will shop here again.^__^

if only I could upload pictures; the stock ECM screen basically was a stream right down the middle vs the new IMS screen which is a cascading waterfall all around. and the nanotech works quite well. I got both the basket and shower screen in nanotech and there is definitely a lot less grounds stuck to it.

This distribution tool improved my espresso extraction by an order of magnitude.

I have a Breville Infuser with a Smart Grinder Pro, and the Motta distribution tool consistently and evenly distributes and levels the grinds in my 54 mm portafilter.

It's a little tough to adjust, but that also means it stays once you find the right level for you.

The last 2 days have been the best espresso I've made since getting the machine, and I barely have to tamp anymore. My wrist is thanking me too.

Highly recommend this product.

The pump in my Breville 840xl gave up after about 5 years. This is an exact replacement and now it's good as new again.

Also ridiculously fast shipping, very happy with my experience here.

Just received this very well built tamper in the mail a few days after ordering. Quick delivery! It’s heavy base makes for a very nice tamp and the wood handle fits perfect in the hand. Would recommend.

My Breville 870XL espresso machine stopped working after some 5.5 years of daily service. I was able to identify that most likely the problem was with the pump.

This store was the place which had the right pump model part and for a reasonable price too. Delivery was super fast! I ordered this part late night on Tuesday (technically it was Wed already) and it arrived on Thursday.

After replacing the pump, my espresso machine works again.

Great portafilter! Added to my Rancilio Silvia to start learning more about my extraction. Super fast shipping and good quality. Can’t ask for more!

This is hands down the best manual coffee grinder ! Sure there is more efficient ways to grind coffee, but none that gives you that enjoyment of this! if your like me and enjoy the process of a straight razor shave then you understand what I am talking about .

Just buy it and grind away while your mind relaxes and gets ready to enjoy the first sip of the brew!

Bought the Baratza Sette 270Wi Grinder at Coffee Addicts and absolutely love it. The grinds are fine and fluffy, even relative to my Baratza Vario that I replaced it. The Weight feature provides consistent dosing each time. The look of the grinder itself is also really nice. Can't go wrong, especially buying here as my order was processed quickly. I highly recommend the Sette 270Wi.

This is the best coffee maker going in my opinion. Makes 2 cups (150 mi each) of great coffee. No filters, no muss, just great coffee.

I have used my Bialetti for years!! Every. single. day. And love it!! but the seal has gone and when I went to order the seal it was almost as much as the new coffee maker, so I ordered a cheaper espresso maker, It is SO NOT a Bialetti, it leaks all over the stove and pours awful, and it is just not as nice feeling or looking as the Bialetti, so I will be returning it I will have to order the parts for my maker or just buy that sexy new red one!!
