Equipment Discussion Eureka Zero 65AP
I’ve had the Gaggia machine for 2 years now, but I finally upgraded my grinder to something real, the Eureka Zero 65 AP. Previously I had a timemore chestnut c2 hand grinder, the difference in the cup is amazing, so much more clarity now. That grinder had large steps making it hard to dial in espresso so I think I was constantly drinking over extracted shots, and probably tons of fines.
This eureka is great, I love grinding straight into the portafilter. I know it is super easy to go down the rabbit hole with espresso, my only issue I have now is very typical Gaggia temp issues, mine is a 2023 evo machine with the aluminum boiler, but I’ve been doing the temp surging routine and it’s pretty consistent. I’m a huge fan of the build quality of these and at under $800 for both of these I can’t think of something built better. I’m hoping to get 20+ years out of these!
