Love the grinder. Works as expected and looks great. I received the grinder within the estimated timeline.
Hello,
I have had my C83 for about 4 weeks. I ran about 1/2 kilo of grinder seasoning beans in 50 gm runs then put it to work for my espresso. The grinder is fast and quiet It grinds 20 grams of coffee in about 18 seconds. The grinds are fluffy with no clumps. There is maybe 0.1 to 0.2 grams of retention. I have used 9 to15 on the dial but am not in the 11 to 13 range with my Sworks basket so my shots run 15 to 20 seconds with a restricted flow for the 1st 3 to 5 seconds. The results have been very consistent and more like a flat burr grinder than my old Niche. The workflow is good and I have ground into the dosing cup, a blind shaker and directly into the portafilter with a funnel. This is a very clean grinder with very little chafe or ground coffee around the surface. There can be some coffee adhering to the unit’s down spout but that is cleaned off easily. The only downside I have for the workflow is the forks and spout do not accommodate all blind shakers or portafilter funnels. I am very happy with the grinder; it is solid and well made. It does espresso very well and can do a good pour over as well. I highly recommend it and think it is a solid unit and very well priced.
I am in love with this grinder. I ordered it because my 15-year-old MACAP I thought was broken, but I fixed it easily, so didn’t need the Eureka Mignon Libra. But the design, size, reduced noise level, and the weighing function have allowed me to dial in so precisely, and with so little effort, that I kept the Eureka. It was time for a change.
Received item as described.
Had an issue with slow shipping and a damaged first delivery. Quick resolution via email, and US based support. Also receieved a free upgrade to red burrs for the trouble. Satisfied, and would definitely use them again.
