Everything went according to plan, paid money, they shipped, I received, pretty par for the course,
Love my new Turin, it is helping me level up my extraction and frothing milk. I can also play with the bars of pressure and water flow. Tgank you to Espresso Outlet for always giving great customer service and assistance!
As looking for a single dose grinder that could grind through the range and this seemed to be the best choice. Glad I went with the SD40S. It’s very well built, rather quiet and does not take up a ton of counter space. Feels very substantial with some good heft to it. The grinding dial is a bit different than what is in most pics and goes up to “8” with one full rotation with several small clicks in between. I’ve found that you can go past one full turn and the grind continues to become more course. My basic yet modified Delonghi EC155 espresso maker cannot handle grinds less than “7” on the dial; too fine, no water flow, over extracts so still trying to dial this in. I go out to one full rotation and then setting “3” for auto drip and this has worked out very well. I unplug between uses or a power light stays on constantly. Really happy with my purchase and Espresso Outlet answered some questions in a very timely manner after purchasing. Don’t hesitate!
This is an awesome grinder & not nearly as loud as I expected. I’m very happy.
This scale paired perfectly with my Wendougee Data S. It paired up via Bluetooth so easily and now flawlessly stops my shots at my determined weight. The scale is built a premium materials and just feels so nice. It also looks amazing on your machines drip tray. I love that you can see through the top and how responsive the scale is. It’s a fun scale to use and should definitely hold up over time. Espresso Outlet also never disappoints with their shipping speed and support!
This grinder has shown me the difference between truly fine and truly coarse grounds vs those done with a blade that just spins them around. It’s easy to use and looks nice on my counter top. With the combination of being more intentional about the beans I buy and brewing them differently, I’d say this has contributed to assisting with better taste as well. So far, I’d say it was worth the purchase.
Solidly built machine, but it was confusing to figure out how to adjust the grind size. When I received the grinder, settings 1–19 all produced a fairly fine grind, and I had to go past 19 for another full turn to get a slightly coarser grind suitable for pour-over. It's a pain to change the grind size if you're switching between espresso and pour-over. If that's a deal breaker, it might be better to consider a different grinder.
I like it but it has a learning curve. The directions are a joke. Videos online helped some, but there needs to be a better one on dialing in the grind settings. It really is zero retention which will help a lot in not having to take it apart to clean it. Trying to get it back to your preferred grind is a trial in patience.
The burr is nice and sharp. The adjustability is good. However it jams if its not a hot atart and it gave trouble turinong off at first. It tends to be messy as there is not a good captur method for the coffee grinds.
