Specs
Starting settings
There are no grind numbers yet. Light-roast espresso needs quite a fine grind on it 19:18.
Strengths
- Good stock burrs for the price 19:18.
Weaknesses
- Retention and noise, and the screw spacing isn't standard, which limits aftermarket burrs 19:18.
Verdict
2023: good value as long as you don't plan to swap burrs 19:18.
