My CPU died on 3.40 (no PBO, EXPO on) and didn't show any burn signs at all: https://www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/comments/1nlbx3i/another_dead_9800x3d_x870e_nova/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
the X870E Nova Wifi fried my 9800X3D.

It ran fine for almost a whole month - I played the entirety of Phantom Liberty and most of Silksong. Then I tried to boot it this morning and got error code 00.
The first thing I did was reset CMOS, take the CPU out and examine the CPU and socket pins (no visible issues), reinstall the CPU and cooler and try to boot again, and got the same error code.
Itll depend on a variety of factors: dose, basket, grinder, beans, bottom paper filter or no, etc.
General starting point for any manual machine (flair, robot, oxo rapid brewer, etc) is to grind to where you see drips when you add water but still have to apply a little pressure to get the puck gently soaked and the puck screen filled. Then you ramp up flow to finish the shot. Whole shot should not exceed 1 bar.
Then adjust grind to taste on subsequent shots. Sour/weak grind finer. Bitter/harsh grind coarser.
Haven't seen a breakdown of the most-used brewer types here, so starting a poll. What brewer type do you use the most?
I don't know enough about the mechanics behind it. I'm mostly just repeating what I've read from other Bunnzilla owners. There is plenty of evidence that grinders designed for commercial grinding like the EK43 can be made to be good for espresso, but I think most of those people also swap out the stock EK43 burrs for SSP.
Edit: SOLD
Have a Monolith Max arriving Monday, so I'm putting my faithful Bunnzilla up for sale. This has by far been the best coffee investment I've made in producing quality brewed coffee. With this grinder, if the coffee doesn't turn out tasty, you know it's the beans.
Details:
-
Bunn G1 with 80mm Ditting 804 machined steel burrs with Mill City Roasters conversion ring
-
Trifecta plate installed with 27 fineness steps
-
Single dose grinds in about a second (can grind 1lb of beans in 30 seconds)
-
Built in Oct 2016
-
Dimensions: 7.3 in. W x 16 in. D x 22.8 in. H
-
Roughly 200lb ground so you don't have to break in the burrs (the burr life expectancy according to Ditting is ~15,000 pounds)
-
Performed sandpaper burr alignment which improved consistency of drawdowns (even at finer settings) & sweetness in the cup
-
Only minor issue is that the off switch does not work (probably easily fixed with a switch replacement), but the grinder does turn off automatically when the safety lever behind the chute is no longer depressed. Remove your catch cup/bag/etc and the grinder turns off.
-
Local pickup preferred (Austin, TX), but could look into shipping - I expect shipping cost would be pretty pricy since the G1 weighs about 50 pounds
-
Prefer to sell as-is, but willing to sell burrs & grinder separately if there is no interest in the full grinder
