about 1/3 of the coffee I roast goes to waste.
I can't ever grind exactly enough to perfectly fill the portafilter and refuse to leave ground beans for later. Sad really..... ![]()

You use a digital scale? I get the perfect amount of coffee every time.

From there, the tamp is the final stage. I notice about 1/3 of a dose in the sink from my leveling. Maybe the timer on the Mazzer is a good thing, but I have a Macap and there's no timer. Probably an even trade as the Mazzer leaves more in the bottom than the Macap anyway. I don't stress about the little bit of waste, but would probably be bummed if someone weighed it all year and showed me what I throw away.

I've had real jbm coffee several times from reputable sources in NYC at a high cost, however whatever my local stop and shops jbm blend is tastes pretty good. No where near the same taste but still a certain similar smoothness to it.

Never blown away by JBM or Kona. They are mild and smooth and good, but not for me. I like full flavored coffee.
Ethiopia Idido Misty Valley blew me away
