After having a play with some higher quality beans than I'm used to using, I think you're probably correct.
Completely night and day over my old Delonghi (which cost more).
Good ******* luck me sleeping tonight with all that caffeine in me now :cry:
Not sure whether to go to bed or run a marathon or two.

A new "wake me up" machine to replace my aging Delonghi bean to cup one..

There's certainly a difference, just got to get it dialled in now.

That is a fab machine for the money - I had one before upgrading to the Oracle. I did find it quite sensitive to the quality of the beans though, and keeping the hopper full. When it started to get low the grind & amount become unpredictable - easily solvable just by topping up the hopper!

Better just dial in with a couple of scoops in the hopper and store the beans in an air tight container until ready to grind.

Logic being that the hopper is not air tight and shouldn't be used for storage beyond the day you intend to use the beans.

I'd normally agree - however I found with that particular grinder the mass of beans affected the grind. Your mileage may vary - I don't get the issue with the Oracle.

I think you're describing popcorning - beans jump out of the burrs because there's nothing holding them in, thus messing with the resulting ground output. Some single dose grinders like the Niche Zero now provide an anti-popcorn disc (they didn't on release). It's possible someone makes/3d prints the same for your model of grinder, if you do want to single dose.

Why would you write anything down in the bottom right quadrant? :S

Urgent doesnt equate to important, there can be urgency around something but that doesn't mean it is a good use of your time or important enough for you to prioritise it. The intention of that box is it's something that should delegate to someone else.

It says urgent AND not important. If you Google eisenhower method it says delete.

I always read that whole thing as a way to dump all your thoughts/tasks into it and "emptying" your head a little.... By using the bottom right box, you have removed them from your thinking process with the understanding that they are the last things to do and the other 3 boxes are to be completed first or, as you day, you now realise they are unimportant so just "delete" them i.e. remove from task list


EDIT: As an example - you had the drain pipes at the side of your house in that box for a while ;) :p

I bought what feels like 20kg of Draper screwdriver bits, random knee jerk purchase, I certainly don't need any this will be about my fifth set! However, I'm glad I did the quality is quite amazing for the price (£17.99)

Ooh where from?

Had plumbing blockage and over the last few days no amount of attempts to unblock worked, fishing around with those twisty wire things, bottles of chemicals, those bellow-type plungers..,.. nothing.

This was the last resort before calling someone out and have to say quite a nifty bit of kit for £22~ - Can charge up to 7 bar of air pressure to force through any blockage.
