The build is sturdy, has all the right ridges and distribution mechanism, however there is an issue with fitting. It's 58 mm whereas the portafilter is 58.5 mm. This results in coffee grounds being lodged at the sides and cleaning is a nightmare.
My experience with the R3 has been great so far. It has a wide range of adjustment of grind size and I have used it for Espresso, French Press and Pour Over.
The flavour of the coffee is very nice everytime, the clarity is great and the body is good.
It's very consistent with grinding and easy to clean.
The included sieves are an added bonus. One should definitely try both methods, with the sieve and without the sieve to discover what you prefer.
It's very efficient and does the job what it's supposed to do
And keeps the grouphead very clean👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It's one of the great machine for espresso and for pour over too
Dialling in process is very easy and help and service is readily available,
Great service provided by Fix Coffee and shipping was very quick.
If you do not have a self-leveling tamper, this is a great tool for distributing your coffee.
