Man, oh man. If that thing works even half as well as it looks, you're set! What a beautiful bit of gear.

Well got it going and am beginning the learning curve.
Here's a shot of the first shot I pulled



I think I have to adjust my pressure on the pressing and possibly keep adjusting the micro adjustment on the grind.
This is a 49-50mm basket, so I can't find a pre-callibrated tamper that clicks or has a set point for the proper pressure

I'll get this.....

I'd sure like to come over and have some coffee.

How is the taste? Starting out, get the taste you want. Crema and the fancy stuff will come with time.

I see your Chemex hiding in the corner. You cannot beat the simplicity and elegance of the Chemex, or the excellent brew a simple pour over creates.

Just as with straight razors, coffee roasting, grinding and brewing can be a gigantic rabbit hole where one can throw copious amounts of money. But oh my goodness, a wonderful cup of coffee is quite a way to start the day or end a meal.

It tasted pretty spot on to me and the wife. So I"m just trying to figure out the primary details in proper amounts.

I agree, the Chemex does make a fine cup, and we enjoy it daily. As well as the siphon/vacuum pot. Did I mention we love coffee here

And yes this is a giant rabbit hole, jumped in both feet and am happy I did!!
Enjoying some of the best coffee I've ever had

Maybe one day my friend we'll meet up and that will happen

That's a real beauty! It got me looking and dreaming on the Elektra site. Congratulations.

Thanks Richard, I liked the way it looked and just had to have it.
I will say, it is simple to use and makes some very good espresso
