Starting settings
No one has shared grind settings for it yet.
Cup profile
- Light burr: more clarity and fruit than a Sette 270, on a similar chocolate and caramel base 16:53.
- Filter burr: cleaner than any electric conical Lance Hedrick had tried, helped by the slow hand speed 16:53.
Strengths
- Three burr sets, the torque of the lever and a single-dose hopper 16:53.
Weaknesses
- Hard work with light, dense beans, and the Dark burr jams on light roasts 16:53.
- It rocks without suction feet, the portafilter holder is fiddly and the handle needs room 16:53.
Verdict
Lance Hedrick found the burrs excellent but the grinder demanding to use in 2021 16:53. In his 2024 tier list it got a D 26:00.
