I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

Niche CE Marking

Recently I bought a Niche Coffee grinder, and currently, I'm trying to get it processed through customs in Turkey. But I cannot do it because customs are requesting from me the Declaration of Conformity document of the grinder.

A Declaration of Conformity (DOC) document is the basis of CE marking on products. It is a formal declaration by a manufacturer, or the manufacturer's representative, that the product to which it applies meets all relevant requirements of all product safety directives applicable to that product.

Companies are publishing these documents and there's nothing confidential about it.

Examples of DOC documents

Saeco/Philips even published it in 22 languages to ease customs processes.

I have been communicating with James from Niche Coffee for 4 days now, and he responded to my request very suspiciously.

First, he said they don't have such a document which is impossible if their CE marking is legit.

Then he said they don't want to share it, then he said to disregard what he said and I will provide you with something.

Then he shared an outdated test document which is not a DOC. Then he said they can't share DOC again.

This kind of back and forth makes me very suspicious of their CE marking. Why aren't they sharing the document while all of the companies are happy to publish it?

Is it possible that their CE marking is fake?

All of my communication with James from Niche Coffee

By the way, I will be paying an extra $250 to get the grinder inspected in customs if I don't provide a DOC.

PS: I have nothing against the company but their behavior certainly pissed me off.

EDIT:

Apparently, a certain Reddit squad has been at work for several hours to downvote all of my messages. I heard of this before, but I didn't believe it. Now that it has happened to me, I believe now that they exist. I don't care even if they downvote me to oblivion.

Unfortunately the more we go into this CE marking issue the more it gets suspicious. I wasn't expecting this much fight between people trying to support a simple question and a downvoting squad. I just wanted to get my grinder and be happy.

It was just a stupid document that exploded into something much more.

I will try not to post anything about this anymore as this has been very exhausting for me.

Perfect Little Beans

Chinmey Hill Coffee uses specialty-grade beans with zero primary defects (such as black beans or sour beans) and less than five secondary defects (such as broken beans). This is important because primary defects will greatly affect the taste of the coffee. Having zero defects allows the coffee to be the most optimal flavor.

Window for Optimal Flavor

Chimney Hill Coffee ships our coffee the same day it was roasted, so you will receive it before it enters the window of optimal flavor.  This means you’ll never miss the opportunity to enjoy the coffee’s peak flavor.

Coffee Ratings

Coffee undergoes many scoring processes by professionals who achieved their Q Grader certification. Coffee is first graded when it’s green. If there are defects the coffee is determined to be “not-specialty grade”. For those coffees that pass green grading, they are sample roasted and cupped. (Cupping is the official term for critically tasting and scoring coffees. The official cupping form is standard worldwide, and where the 100-point scoring system comes from.) A coffee’s dry fragrance, wet aroma, flavor, aftertaste, body, acidity, balance, and overall impression are taken into consideration while uniformity issues and defects, will lower the overall score.

Specialty Coffee

Specialty coffee, coined by Erna Knutsen in 1974, refers to a coffee that receives a quality grading score of 80 percent or higher. While “premium” or “gourmet” seem like they’re synonymous with “specialty,” they simply are marketing terms with no defined standards. Specialty coffees are grown in specific and ideal micro-climates, and have distinctive and unique flavor profiles, with little to no defects.

Third-Wave Coffee

We’re currently in the third wave of coffee. The first wave of American coffee put pre-ground, vacuum-sealed cans in kitchens across America. The second wave started with the late ‘60s introduction of Peet’s coffee (by Alfred Peet) through the proliferation of Starbucks. The third wave of coffee focuses on origin transparency, nuanced flavors, and artisan roasting. The term “third wave” is synonymous with specialty coffee.
