minimum dose size?

Jan 31, 2024 |

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...

Question around Breville / Sage Precision Brewer shower seal variants

I've got the UK Sage branded Precision Brewer with the thermal caraffe and have been getting sometimes weaker coffee than expected. I've tried various preground filter coffee and also find it's weaker than expected when hand grinding with a Normcore V2.

I had some fresh roasted Bean Brothers coffee come in today and again it's not that strong. I know plenty give up and go with a Moccamaster or similar but others seem happy with the Precision Brewer and just grind finer so just wanted to make sure I explore all avenues at a fix. I've been brewing with 600ml / 4 cups and tried from 32g to 42g, with a single filter or double filter papers (Filtropa no. 4) and can't seem to quite get filter coffee tasting strong. It's entirely possible I've just frazzled my tastebuds over the years 🙂

I was looking into potentially replacing the seal ring and noticed Sage have two options listed in the UK with the part numbers SP0021707 & SP0026920.

My machine currently has what looks like this:

https://www.sageappliances.com/uk/en/parts-accessories/parts/sp0021707.html?sku=SP0021707

And from looking at other reviews some have this:

At first I thought it was just some people had them installed upside down, but mine doesn't match the second in either orientation.

It's possible they just revised it, and I've asked Sage / Breville the question, but just wondered if anyone knew which is the older / newer / better variant please as it's possible their helpdesk won't know the physical differences without me ordering both.

The pour over kit where I've seen pictures has three extruding nozzles like the second option above.

I've found various posts where people had complained in the past about the coffee grinds in the filter not being fully wet (I don't have that problem at all so far) and just wondering if this was a revision that doesn't get mentioned so much that caused / fixed those sorts of problems.

Thanks for any pointers
