Fellow - Turin SD40

I have the SD40S as well and I find pouring the beans in with it running gives me the most consistent results. I have never had a stalling problem either.

Could you compare the 078s vs your 64mm ssp HU and niche zero? I got the 078s a few months ago but always wondering if I made the right decision on it haha. I came from an SD40. I have done three 3D prints that extremely help workflow on the 078s though which I think has improved my experience vs others.

Thanks for the update! Makes me feel better about the 078s. My journey has been shitty blade grinder (before espresso) > JX-Pro > SD40 (with mods to make it step less > 078s. Still have the JX-pro and SD40. Use the JX-pro as a travel and work grinder. SD40 is just sitting in my basement. I use the 078s for pour over and espresso at home. Then at work I use the JX-pro with the OXO rapid brewer.

The turin (espresso outlet) are a rebrand and customized version of chinese made grinders that are available under different brands and voltages. I have a sd40 and without a modification it is not as good for espresso and I would recommend the sk40 (stepless version of sd40) or even better the df54. Here is a listing on alibaba that shows an example of a non turin version: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Factory-sell-coffee-grinder-espresso-brew_1601347690075.html

I’m surprised you get stalls. I have an SD40S which is nearly identical but I have literally never had a stall even with very light roasts. I used to slow feed but I found my human inconsistency was worse than the machine inconsistency so now I just dump it all in.

Interesting, I’ve had mine for over a year now. We’ll see what happens in the future I guess.

Yes I always do a hot start but no more slow feeding. It’s a really solid grinder!
