I find it somewhat cute that according to this article, $500 is "grows on trees" kind of money. In the espresso hobby, $500 is barely enough to get a decent grinder.
- fellowmartian 3y agoDF64 is $350. Haven’t tried it myself (I have a Sette), but if I was buying now I’d go for DF64, flat burr is nice.
- ctroein89 3y agoI love my DF64. I found it on sale, and informed my wife that it'd be her Christmas and birthday present to me: totally worth it. Even with a $100 DeLonghi EC155, the difference from the grinder is incredible.
- njovin 3y agoFor anyone who is discouraged by this (accurate) comment, don't discount the utility of a manual grinder. You can get a 1Zpresso which is a beautiful, durable piece of equipment for a fraction of the cost of an automatic grinder and it takes all of 30 seconds to grind your own beans to perfection.
- flyingshoes 3y agoThe KINGrinder KX is a cheaper alternative to the 1Zpresso line. But yeah, definitely don't discount manual grinders. But note grinding for espresso with a handgrinder is... an exercise. lol.
- eur0pa 3y ago1Z just issued a recall for the chipping burrs affair on their X-Ultra line. They went for cheaper alloys and people ended up with metal shavings in their cup. Old grinders seem to be fine. I’d wait a hot second before getting a 1Z right now
- demondemidi 3y agoSeriously. Although I would like to discourage anyone from getting a Eureka (Silenzio). grind retention is insane on those, and the higher priced models are the same flawed grinder with more LCD screens.
