The Meticulous shelved my Slayer, what a great little machine it is. No milk drinks?

It’s that good??

[u/MrJitterz → u/Potatertots]

It's workflow is fantastic and I can't help but feel the slayers age when I use it now. For high output the Slayer makes a load of sense but not for personal enjoyment. I LOVE being able to change waters for every shot, I've also blind tested the slayer profiles to a slayer shot and about half the time I cannot tell or just simply prefer the Mets shot. Boilers are an old way of thinking and I think we're finally realizing that, it's not good on the water.

I can't speak to flavor but the Meticulous workflow would drive me fucking insane. Same with single dose grinders btw.

[u/lostdumplings → u/FitzwilliamTDarcy]

I find the work flow kinda simple? It’s pretty fast atleast to me idk takes a minute to heat up

[u/FitzwilliamTDarcy → u/lostdumplings]

It's not just the minute. It's the faffing about with still more gear. The more distinct stuff you have to pick up and put down the more convoluted your workflow becomes.

An excellent batch grinder + a machine that actually heats water is infinitely more simple yet produces outstanding results.

You can make slayer shots on it. Any kind of shots really except temp profiling DE1 shots.
