Subject: Timer for grinder usefull?
|
Hello,
Im using a Macap Haus grinder with doser. I usual grind for singles. As
many people here I empty the doser for each shot. The only way I can know I
put the excact amount of coffee in the pf is visual and how deep the tamer
sinks into the pf.
I am thinking of building a timer for my grinder. People who know
electronics advised me and told me most electronic components are not
precise enough. I now am thinking of getting me an used timer from a
photographer. The thing they use in a dark room.
Is this timer usefull? Are people using the timer that are present on some
grinders?
Thanks in advance,
JW

You need better [educated] friends.
You can build a timer to time any silly number you like.

No picoseconds to spare.

Electonic components can be very very precise. What I was talking about are
parts that are available for switching lights etc. Could anyone help me
with a schedule for a timer with a parts list? We have 230V here.
Thanks.

The Patterson 2000D at $100 should fill the bill. Comes in 120 and 240
versions

I use a digital Waring commercial bar timer. Very useful for
consistent dosing without waste. Unfortunately, Waring stopped making
these (probably because so many commercial blenders have built-in
digital timers now). Unlike the Waring timers, photo timers are large,
expensive and not sealed against grounds, liquids and other coffee
detritus. Nevertheless, I still think they would be useful.
