Thats brilliant dude!

I mean; if you like the taste of ground asphalt… you do you.

Sounds more like a grinder problem. Does that take a lot of time adjusting? Or too noisy? I’ve Got a rocket fausto that is fast and quiet. Others as well.

Got a similar espresso machine from Rocket and it doesn’t take that much of effort. Take the filter to the grinder. Press the button. Press. Back in machine. Start extraction and grab a cup. Clean . That’s it. A mean about a two minutes or so.
