So the looks of this grinder caught my attention. This and that super expensive weber grinder. The looks alone of this machine had me reconsidering a bolted flat burr machine. Otherwise i would have went with a conical burr as blind flat burr machines are still excessively expensive.
The build quality of this machine is top teir. Refined industrial level quality. Also very balanced motor and blades. It is impressively quiet for being a coffee grinder.
Rather sure this is a 3 phase permant magnet variable frequency alternating current motor. I wish marketing departments would embrace that title and stop lieing by calling it d.c.. This is literally a vast upgrade. Whatever is inside it , run smooth and steady as a Haas on a finish cut , I can't detect slowdown in load.
My only nitpick in the machine is the gravity scale does not have a magnetic pull to the grinder base. So the magnetic pull from the gravity scale to the magnetic pull of the dosing cup is almost troublesome. I can still do it 1 handed , but id almost prefer no magnets. How fancy it would really feel if both had magnets.
I was all prepared for that fancy individual vile preweighed coffee going to a dosing funnel to get water sprayed ... but i dont need any of that. The throughput is so quick and precise and the gravity scale so wonderful i just pour it quickly from the bag. If this is your only grinding machine ever , you would have no idea at all of static charge. Even though the dosing cup looks like it needs a funnel , there is no static. Grounds just fail straight down.
This grinder is a amazingly good part of my workflow and im not even sure how to make the rest as good as this grinder.
Another notable point is how quiet this machine is. A few seconds pause while on a call. other machines i push start and run to the other room for both our sakes.
It oozes quality and im happy China is making high quality items in real production , also saddened white countries are not.
It was very well packaged and is heavy.
easily 5 out of 5. well worth the money.
