My Espresso coffee grinders review 2023

Just my own interpretation

Extract from coffee ad astra

There is no single best

It depends on your espresso style: normal blended or single origin (SOE)

Key characteristics of different espresso

Blended: balanced

SOE: unimodal, each of tastes stand out loudly.

most people preferred characteristic along the NorthEast-SouthWest zone

For blended, Sweet spot is middle of chart

For SOE, swett spot is NE or SW, along NE-SW zone

IMHO:

blended: 14. G-Iota Probarista, Niche zero

SOE: Baratza forte

4. mahlkonig X54. , 1 Rocket Faustino and 3 Quarmar M80 offers special characters

Does burr size and geometry matter?

Just one of the factors.

For blended: flat burr, 50 to 70mm is "good enough"

For SOE: flat burr, burr size is not only factor.

From Jonathan Gagne:

top-rated grinders appear to be somewhat balanced in this particular figure rather than being located at one extreme. It is still hard to say this is super conclusive (we would need many more such studies for this), but one thing this figure teaches us probably with some robustness is that unimodality and uniformity were apparently not the only factors at play.

Notice how the G-Iota Probarista grinder, which was rated quite badly in the blind tasting, falls pretty close to the Baratza Forté and the Niche Zero which both came out near the top of the blind tasting cores.

This hints that probably something else, perhaps even not visible in a PSD, such as clumping or heating of the grounds, affected the taste in a negative way with the G-Iota Probarista grinder.

The score is not only about taste but

Material/value

Volume /loudness

Deadspace (Totraum)

Grind Speed

Temperature

Grams by Bean container

Consistency(fluctuation) in output

Usability

Grind size replicability

Single dose performance

CMOS sensor trends and astrophotography, from amateur astronomers perspective

Nowadays, even in low light conditions, digital camera can quality pictures with higher ISO, noise and hot pixels have been gradually reduced. Sony has introduced back illumination process for consumer market. Sony BSI sensors evolved from Exmor to now Exmor RS( stacked) technology. This stacked technology allows further chip size reduction, which has strong demands in smartphone camera market. Digital astrophotography is also benefited from such advances, utilising Back Side Illumination technology Exmor: Within the CMOS sensor, it outputs low-noise digital signals by "on-chip column AD conversion" and "dual noise reduction" to suppress noise in the first half of the process In low light conditions, when a wide aperture is desirable to collect as much light as possible. At apertures wider than f/2.0, back-illuminated Exmor R sensors are significantly more efficient at collecting light than conventional, front-illuminated sensor...

ultrafast rendezvous to ISS

14 Oct 2020, being the first to use a new “ultrafast” rendezvous” scheme with the ISS. Following a flawless ascent to the correct orbit, Soyuz 2 .1a , Soyuz MS-17 caught up with the orbiting laboratory in only two orbits (three hours), halving the time it takes for crew to get to the Station. The three space travelers of the Soyuz MS-17 mission launched on a six-month mission the International Space Station. previous 3/4 orbit rendezvous: Soyuz MS-16 4 orbit rendezvous A three-orbit profile was deemed possible without major flight design changes after inauguration of the Soyuz 2-1A rocket that provides a much higher orbit injection accuracy than its predecessors and would allow the two correction maneuvers on Orbit #2 to be eliminated while the Automated Rendezvous Phase would still remain untouched. The deletion of the Orbit #2 maneuvers was expected to slightly tighten the already restrictive phase angle window from and upper limit of 30-35° to 25-28°...
