Honestly, I...Yeah, I did see his grinder analysis. Honestly, I couldn't make anything usable out of his graphs either, but the idea of graphing out the results is certainly intriguing. <BR/><BR/>My MDF has a similar (if not idential) burr set to your Rocky, and I found the flat-burr Ascaso to be a DOWNgrade. Maybe if I'd had more than an hour to play around with it I'd have changed my mind. Just from a usability and burr size standpoint, I found it to be a lesser quality piece of equipment. <BR/><BR/>I'm interested to see what people have to say about the K3. Unless it's an entirely different beast than the I1, I don't think I'll care for it.Jason Haegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16462315547734384326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215845.post-1159949620025423622006-10-04T04:13:00.000-04:002006-10-04T04:13:00.000-04:00Hehehe ... interesting.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get a direct link to it, but you can find it at his blog, www.e61hx.com Although the graphs are kinda cool, I can't really make anything useful out of them!<BR/><BR/>I'm looking at the iberital challenge at the moment, which is a domestic, conical burr grinder that should be similar to the i2. Jim Schulman reckons that it's better than a mazzer when its burrs are new. I'm considering upgrading from a rocky to this grinder - yes, that's an upgrade to something that costs half the price! I've got a thread about it going here: http://www.home-barista.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2239<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>LucaLucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055161321391952084noreply@blogger.com
