Note about water hardness
Using hard water will ruin your espresso machine. Soft water no higher than 50ppm is required to keep your espresso machine running for the long term. Using hard water will void the warranty.
Nice choice
The grinder works pretty good although there’s quite a bit of residue due to the static so the cleanup is a bit of a pain in the butt. Additionally, it takes a lot of pumps on the baffle to clear out the residue. I probably have to pump it nine or 10 times to get all the residue out.
Lastly, you don’t have the ability to really dial it in because the steps for grinding adjustment are a bit far away.
Great price, very consistent grind, and quiet compared to what I had before. Makes a lovely pour over!
Simple, reasonably quiet, I like the blower feature, well made. Has improved our morning coffee quality immensely.
Absolute unit of a grinder, looks stunning in my kitchen and works well. A solid upgrade from my old OXO grinder.
If you're looking to up your grinder game without breaking the bank this is a great choice.
