Pros & Cons
Pros
This one is every bit as quiet as the aforementioned the aforementioned specialita. The only part that makes a little more noise than i'd like is the lid to the hopper. It is much quieter than any blade grinder and audiably quieter than the baratza.
The grind is super-consistent, and it grinds fine enough for espresso, and can grind even finer. The ability to grind a quality espresso grind is amazing once you mess with it for a bit. Grind is great for espresso.
The eureka mignon cronos grinder is beautiful and sturdy. The powder coated finish feels very premium. It also has super grippy rubber feet that keep it well anchored to the counter.
Cons
The burrs are likely jammed and i have no interest in having to take apart the grinder every time i use it. I now have to strip down the whole machine and unclog it every 6 seconds worth of grinding. Seattle coffee gear has zero customer service.
Highlights
Quality
The grind quality is good however visually i do see more finer bits than i thought
So i took off 1 star for the hopper and the price but otherwise i am pretty happy with the machine
Cleaning is a bit tricky with the base hopper lot of retention of coffee grounds visibly in the machine
Didnt realize how much grinders have affect on the quality of espresso until i bought this thing
Price
And the price is honestly as cheap as you are going to find a true espresso grinder for
Shipping
It came in one day with no extra shipping costs which i was not expecting
Competitiveness
Based on that alone theres no question that its leaps ahead of baratza grinders at the same price point for both build and grind quality
Have this paired with my rancilio silvia
I was running a baratza sette 30 prior to this
I got this in hopes of replacing my long time rocky rancilio ss doser after researching methods for improving my espresso barista chops
