Mine is a 3 cup version and has "X17" on the bottom so I don't know that 10 is the size. That base is definitely larger than mine. Fill it to just below the safety valve and measure that. Mine is right around 130ml

It's an old family recipe. I'm not at liberty to divulge it.

For non-espresso, half & half. For espresso-based drinks, Califia Farms Barista Blend oat milk.

Edit: Added "based drinks" to avoid any confusion

The Opus is ok. I was really excited for it to come out since I wanted a grinder that could do pour over and espresso. I like the anti-static tech but the all-plastic build is a bit of a let down. It works well, is easy to dial in but I think my next grinder will be more metal.

The Decent is fantastic! True the settings seem overwhelming but it comes with a ton of presets that all you need to do is load the portafilter, pick a preset and hit a button. I was making great shots on day 1 without a lot of fiddling around. Once you get the hang of the settings, it's fun to experiment with other presets or even make your own.

It is. I got it from Etsy.

I've never been a black coffee drinker. My favorite is a sugar free vanilla oat milk latte and nobody else makes it better than I do at home.
