Anyone know how fast the M7KR will grind 15 grams?

My MK7R does 20g in 6 seconds. The coffee in the nanohopper drops very quickly. As a side note, just how dangerous is it to run a big conical with the burrs almost exposed? Am I risking serious end-of-piano-playing injury?

I got mine yesterday. Took all of about five minutes to dial it in with the Lighthouse Roasters Espresso Blend. There is absolutely no clumping with this grinder, and the doser puts coffee straight into the portafilter.

A very nice grinder, indeed!

As with all grinders, this can be somewhat coffee dependant.

With enough vigor, the doser can be induced to socialism [left leaning].

Just not a quiet one.

I may have to do a mod to get it to lean back to the right.

Not too bad, though. You shoulda heard that Ascaso the vendor had.....

Since I have been filling my Cimbali Max Hybrid coffee hopper over half full, timing the desired amount ground coffee ( in my head ); the left over coffee stuck in the chute mouth has been reduced significantly, compare to the amount left when I used to grind per shot.
I use CMH more often now.

Good grinder makes a good day

Just added a darkroom timer to my CMH,a Gralab 450 that I got on e-bay.It works great, no leftover grinds, almost no spill.Can recommend it to everybody!

I searched almost every single thread about cimbali max hybrid, found lots of motor/burr/case/doser pictures but not a single picture showing how CMH grinds. Probably it's hidden somewhere in these forums and I can't find it.. So please "if grinding pictures already exists" can someone lead me to those OR if possible post some pictures here? I'd like to compare Cimbali Max Hybrid grind to Cimbali Jr grind (at least visually).

Thanks

Rather than copy and post the pictures here, just check out the pictures of the Max Hybrid's burr set at Chris' Coffee Service.

The Cimbali Junior grinder uses a flat burr set -- 64mm. The Cimbali Max Hybrid uses a conical burr in combination with a 64mm flat.

Cheers,
Jason

My wife the chemist is laughing hysterically at this.
