Man I’ve been wanting a couple of those jackets for a long time but I need to stop for awhile because my buying habits are pathetic! I’m looking at a $900 coffee grinder lol

I literally just spent almost that same money on a Eureka grinder in Ferrari red - it does wonders to the coffee experience every morning.

I literally just spent almost that same money on a Eureka grinder in Ferrari red - it does wonders to the coffee experience every morning.

I’m really confused honestly as there are so many options. I’m using a hand grinder and have been using the same one for about 10 yrs. However I drink about 6 cups of coffee a day and the grinding experience isn’t as much fun as it use to be. Will that eureka grind a larger grind for a pour over? And I need a larger ground than that for my percolator in the morning.. that is the best coffee!!

 

[jeepTj98]

I also drink an occasional French press so Im looking hard for the perfect grinder.. I’m beginning to think that my hand held self grind is best. I hate when my coffee grounds aren’t all the same size. Or worst yet, when the grounds get clogged and are espresso grounds that fall into my pour over.. I’m asking a lot aren’t I ? Lol

Here is another question I have: What does the label of A2 Schott mean: I-2-674-m-s ? I've seen some jackets have that, others don't

Dude are we brothers or maybe I’m your dad lol… yeah I’m an old guy lol.. we are like exactly the same size so that 36 will fit you perfectly!

Actually my Dad is taller than me. I guess that happens if your child gets a lot of cigarette smoke in their face all the time while it needs to grow up. Good old times.

My dad is 5”11 and both of my brothers were 5”10.. my mom is hardly 5ft.. oh well I have to live with it lol

At one time I did some deep research on all the Schott Perfecto jackets but I not the schott a2. When it comes to the a2, I’m more of a reproduction kind of guy. I bought the schott because I knew it would be the warmest and most comfortable jacket. And I paid $60 for it because it needed many repairs like a zipper.. I’ve got a great tailor nearby

@jeepTj98 I hear you about grounds not being uniform in size - that can seriously affect the taste of the coffee. The larger grounds don't extract at the same rate as the fines, which means you really want a uniform size in between.

The finer grounds will immediately settle to the bottom as soon as they release their CO2, while the larger pieces will float. The larger pieces yield a sour note, while the fines offer bitter.

The middle stuff is what we need.

The Eureka is good at a fine espresso grind along with the courser grind for French, which is what I drink, and the uniformity is good.

Man you are from Austria?! That’s bad ass..

I have heard it's best to spend more on a coffee grinder first, then an espresso machine later.

Anyone tried out the Lost Worlds Sierra? Does it have ginormous shoulder like most of their designs? (It probably does, doesn't it.)

I've tried out the All-Weather which is basically a variation of the Sierra (same pattern). Fit is fairly similar to a Ryder I own.
Not sure where you get the idea that their designs include ginormous shoulders. They feel fine to me.

Ah, I recall some truckers that had quite wide shoulders, but perhaps that's just on the truckers. I do wish it was possible to try on a LW first to see for myself...

Not Austria, South Texas - I live in Toronto now but I'm a big coffee guy. My favourites are the African beans of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda, good and fruity.

I have a really good but older espresso machine so I am a bit backwards but I’ve always used a hand grinder. I have not had any lost worlds jacket other than the a2. It is very well made and is aging beautifully..

I like a good dark roast coffee.. I really don’t want to spend a grand on a coffee grinder but I’m picky..

Is this the grinder you are talking about?
Eureka Mignon Specialita

Hello! Can anyone tell me what model of Schott this is, approximate year of manufacture? There is no tag with the model number. Thank you very much in advance!

Looks like a 141 2000s

@Vectrex how's Austria at the moment? Has spring begun? We're suffering a late season cold snap here in Toronto, so no one is very happy.

@jeepTj98, that's the one but mine also has the accordion-style bean holder at the top - once you've ground the beans you can push on the top to blow air through the burs so that nothing gets stuck.
