Cup profile
- Brian Quan calls it outstanding for both filter and espresso with these burrs 7:09.
Strengths
- Grinds 18 to 20 g in 2 to 3 seconds. The hopper takes 60 g or more for filter, French press or cold brew batches, and it's built to last with warranty and support behind it 7:09.
Weaknesses
- Large, loud and about 50 to 60 lb, with no speed control. It holds back up to about 5 g of grounds and chaff, so it isn't a single doser 7:09.
Verdict
In 2021 Brian Quan saw it as a compelling second grinder for filter, as long as you can live with its size, noise and retention 7:09.
