#grinders — Public Fediverse posts

We’ve taken a First Look at the MHW‑3Bomber F74 Navigator, a grinder that has specialty coffee enthusiasts buzzing. With 74 mm titanium‑coated burrs, a 400 watt brushless motor, variable RPM control, and ultra‑low retention, it promises espresso‑level precision and pour‑over clarity at a surprisingly accessible price. Could this be the prosumer grinder that changes the game?

Did a lot of photography work today; all about grinders.

For instance, the plethora (a word from "3 Amigos!!!" heh) of top quality flat burr grinders $600 or less are now available to coffee consumers; 5 years ago, that number was basically one or two. This is a big change for consumers. Here's 5 of them, with one at $230, most expensive at $650.

Got a feature on this planned for January.

I finally got a chance to see and work with the La Marzocco Pico grinder, up close (this was NOT through any connection with La Marzocco).

IMO, it's basically a copy of the Etzinger Light / Baratza Sette 270 design. Especially when you look at the burr group and mount. The timer one is like $1500+ in Canada (price I think is slightly negotiable if you buy a LM home machine). A GBW version is supposedly in the works, for 2x the price.

It reminds me a bit of what Leica does when they rebrand a Panasonic camera with the red dot and sell it for 2x, 3x the price. That said, LM claims they developed this grinder 100% in house, with no involvement (or copying) Etzinger. I have some doubts on the latter. The burr groups and design of such are crazy similar.

My thoughts: buy the Sette 270Wi or Etzinger instead. You can buy four Sette 270Wi grinders for the price of one La Marzocco Pico with grind by weight features.

Putting the final touches on our next huge Feature Guide at CoffeeGeek:

Best Budget Coffee Grinders for 2024.

Nine selections... all under $250 (well, almost all... I had to pick one that just jumped $50 in price to $299, but it is definitely worth it). Four of the picks are $150 or less.

All tested / owned / reviewed / used by CoffeeGeek staff.

Coming tomorrow!

Well.

Three guides it is!

‣ Best Budget Grinders
‣ Best Multipurpose Grinders
‣ Best Espresso-Primary Grinders

In fact, there was a request for a fourth guide: a Best Manual Grinders category. Problem is, we don't have a lot here to test (I have 5 different makers, 8 models total).

PS. I really like having you folks in the #fediverse deciding our editorial course of actions at CoffeeGeek! 😎

Wow. Turin Grinders (the company bringing in the new DF64 Gen 2 grinder to the US for $400) is getting serious. They posted on IG this photo of their most recent shipment.

Looks like they'll have stock for Christmas!

If you are into #coffee, coffee #grinders & especially into making #espresso you can't get the good stuff without a lil bit of a downside: Maintenance & cleaning.

So here's my weekly/bi-weekly routine:

- Grinders:
*grind with a portion of natural grind cleaner.
*Regrind with fresh coffee to remover cleaner
* brush and vakuum grinder (especially exit chute) (1)

- Espresso machine:
* soak portafilter in chemical coffee cleaner & rinse
* Reflush 5x with blind basket or chemical coffee cleaner (2)
* Reflush 5x with clear water
* Clean group head seal
* Clean behind shower screen (3)
* Clean & dry drain water tub

Issue 012 of the FREE Coffee Pulse Newsletter went out this morning! Part two of a 2 part series on quality grinders for the home, on a budget, and how we got from there to here. View the latest issue here (you can also subscribe right at the top of the page).

I must have re-written the content for the Coffee Pulse newsletter I'm about to send out over a dozen times in the past week.

Out of all the things I author, the newsletter content is the one I really want to be as perfect as possible on the topic covered. I only get "one chance" to get it right, as it goes out to 12,500 people with one click.

Coffee Pulse 011 is about developments in #espresso #grinders. And it's going out in 30 minutes.

When we test #grinders and #espresso machines for CoffeeGeek, our baseline setup to test them against is

- Breville Dual Boiler
- Baratza Sette 270Wi grinder

These are actually quite a boon. The Sette is quick, its output for espresso is almost unrivalled, accurate to 0.1g in dose, and the BDB is a rock solid espresso machine.

This grinder has already been through one motor change and one burr change, it gets used so much.

Baratza wanted to send me a new one. I refused (so far).

Another test I do, which again is very mundane, and does waste a LOT of coffee, but I think people want to know this kind of info about #coffee #grinders, especially manual ones:

Grinding speed tests.

Here, I'm setting up to grind 4 grind types (Espresso, AeroPress, V60, and Press Pot), 10g per sample, 3 times each, with FOUR grinders. That's 36 grinding sessions, almost 400g of coffee!

Worth it? I do record the numbers for later use in other reviews, so it's not repeated.

Option-O is known for making spectacular #coffee #grinders; their latest, the Lagom Mini creates a brand new category in excellence. Here's some initial information about this tiny single dose grinder.
