Starting settings
No one has shared grind settings for it yet.
Cup profile
- Filter is clean and citrusy, like well-calibrated SSP multi-purpose burrs 1:01.
- Espresso is bright and acid-forward with a thinner body, and can taste punchy on traditional shots 9:19.
Strengths
Weaknesses
- You order it through Instagram messages, it's slow to arrive and setup is awkward 1:01.
- Painful for espresso without a drill 9:19.
Verdict
In 2025 Lance Hedrick called it incredible value, perhaps 10 to 20% behind a Zerno for filter 1:01, and the best light-roast espresso hand grinder before diminishing returns 9:19.
