Well yesterday I cleaned my Spong #2, rather easy really and I pulled a shot. Only had to pull one, it was perfect! Go figure that! I used this guide http://www.home-barista.com/grinders/spong-coffee-mills-grinder-for-23rd-century-t16165.html and I only cleaned it, I didn't soak it to remove the rust, put some oil on it, and dab of grease as required where the adjustment meets the burrset. I put 16gms in, ground it fine, use my OE funnel to ensure it actually went from the container into the basket, a quick WDT to make sure everything was distributed evenly, tamp and pull. I was using the stock double basket that came with the Achilles (the one that no one actually likes) and I got an amazing shot, no channelling either! Sweet. I'm on the look out for a #3 now, mainly because you have to do something like 100 turns on this thing for a triple basket! You get a work out that's for sure, but for a handgrinder it's amazing how good it is! Why aren't they still making these things? I would like a red one! 😉
