Excellent grinder
"So I bought this grinder almost a year ago from first in coffee I was looking to upgrade an old Baratzza grinder which has served me well but showing its age. I really liked the Ceado and Mazzer grinders but the problem with those and any grinder like that is they are commercial from the ground up; not designed to fit in a normal space under a counter even with shortened hoppers offered it can be a challenge. So i did some research and came across this one and saw that this one had all the same features as the larger true commercial grinders that Eureka makes, a i would rate this as more of a prosumer machine then commercial but i saw some good videos and reviews in other places and i was sold. So now having this for almost a year I can give some very good feedback, the build quality is amazing the motor is silent and feels very strong, the grind speed is way faster then my old grinder as well as the consistency is way better then the old grinder it looks nice sitting next to my expobar and it's less messy then my old grinder, i like how you can close the hopper and take it off with beans in it especially useful if a bean gets stuck between the burrs you have a way to dislodge it without having to completely empty the machine. Now some things I don't like or I would change, the hopper isn't tinted to protect beans from sunlight, so if you place this grinder in your kitchen make sure to put it in a place away from a window as this can effect the taste of your coffee should definitely be standard at this price point. Unlike my baratzza you need tools to access the burrs, yes that is typical of grinders at this level based on commercial machines but luckily you don't need to access very often unless you use frequently and need to deep clean or dislodge a bean. The latch that shuts off the bean hopper so you can remove it seems a little cheap for the pricepoint but it does the job so far haven't had any issues but i think there is room for improvement. Overall my experience with this grinder is awesome, i wouldn't hesitate to buy it again, I would hope if the company does a revision of this unit that they address some of the issues that i feel could be better but overall it's a great unit with professional features and feel and is very well suited for anyone just beginning or looking to step into real prosumer territory for the first time."
