Just got this new beaut and can’t wait to try it! Reached my dream setup with a combo of Monolith Conical for traditional flavor, EG1 Ultra for pourover, and the core burr for occasional high clarity espresso. Ode 2 + SSP MP might have to step aside to clear my tiny corner. Comparison incoming!

Congrats! Enjoy! I was at the exact same
point and a week later I had the urge to replace the micra with something offering more control to get the full out of the eg-1, so its actually never endgame 😊
I would be curious to hear some comparison between the kafatek and the eg1 cores
now you need a machine with flow control
I had a bit of buyers remorse going from a Niche Zero to my EG1. But after a week I could tell the flavors got better and noticed a good improvement in flavor profile. It is also rock solid consistent.
I took the NZ to my office and on the same beans it just tastes more muddied and dull with slightly better body.
I’m a believer in the EG1 and am happy I have it.
You my friend, have disposable income, congrats!
I see a Sonos one on that shelf. Replace it with a Five and thank me later.
I am so fucking jealous of you right now.
An EG1 is my endgame too after having the most delicious pour-over ever from one in a cafe a few days ago.
Then I saw the price, then I saw your post.
Fuck you, I’m happy for you 🤣
My goal grinders!
Fantastic setup. That’s my dream setup right there! I see you have Ox Coffee. Last time i went it was pretty good. My current favorite cafe in philly is Thank you thank you (thank you twice)
I’m curious how the EG-1 compares with a larger conical like the Key or HG-1 Prime. I’ve heard they still provide excellent clarity with more body over flat burrs. I’m happy to trade a little clarity for heavier body in filter and espresso. Maybe a Monolith is a better comparison, but I’m looking at the HG-1 Prime right now.
