Baratza Sette 30 vs Eureka Mignon

When looking for an entry to mid-level Electric Burr Grinder, there are several names that will inevitably pop up, and this is one of them: the Barraz...

That is, no doubt about that. The/\s/ second thing I really like about this grinder is/\s/it's really fast. It's really, really fast. I can/\s/ easily...

Why only 3/5 Stars? DISCLAIMER: I cheaped out and bought a Bambino which is directly affecting my review of this product. Ease of use 4 I didn't like the cheap feel of the open close lever, and I kinda wish I could measure and pour the grounds with better integration. Its fairly noisy although I know there are worse products out there. You do get consistency out of the beans which is a HUGE plus and this design allows you to waste less coffee than most if not all of the competition

No need to hold the button down, the timer function shuts off the grinding automatically (just do a few experiments to dial-in the correct grind and the correct grinding time, both of which settings survive a power-off, the grind setting because it is a manual control, and the time setting because the manufacturer thought this thru ... you can even lock-out the time adjustment buttons so that no one can re-set your chosen time accidentally without knowing the magic button-press sequence to unlock, clever!)

The one used only for light roast lasted much longer. I really like this grinder when it's working, and will probably just keep buying new ones since there is no competition at this price point. I wish Baratza could make this a more reliable unit. The whole design and circuitry needs to be beefed up

2) Speaking of the size, it's a perfectly compact machine that fits easily on the counter of my small kitchen. It's a perfect compliment to the Gaggia. 3) Clean, minimal aesthetic for the those who love simplicity — especially in the matte black. Very understated

(Which I have done, successfully). The bad: - noisy - static. But that depends a _lot_ on which coffee beans you use. For some, the grinds just float up with static

Debated between this or the Baratza lineup. What made me settle on this over the Baratza were a few key features based on a video comparison from Seattle Coffee Gear. The first is that it is quieter. Not completely silent, obviously, but much quieter than any blade grinder and audiably quieter than the Baratza

No doubt. But the problem is grind size. I use a V60. I like a V60 and I really don’t want to change

The grind dial is labeled 0-5, but that means literally nothing as the dial can go all the way around like ten times. This was my first espresso grinder and I had nobody to teach me, so I had no guidance on grind size. Due to the dial's numbers meaning nothing, I couldn't find a starting point online either. Two months of putting way too fine grinds in, leading to extreme channeling, leading me to spend hundreds on new baskets, expensive calibrated tampers/distributes, and a naked portafilter

For a few dollars more, these gearboxes could have been made of much more resilient materials. I refuse to continue to support this company and recommend that you consider whether you want to waste your money.

I am a little bit of a coffee snob, if you know what I mean. I brew my own filtered coffee all the time, mostly pour over, but occasionally I will brew a french press or aero. After spending much time learning about how to brew excellent coffee, I knew that having a good grinder can go a long way. I picked this grinder because it was in a price a could afford and had everything I was looking for in a grinder
