Hello All,

Despite my best efforts I was again unsuccessful in securing a Monolith preorder. It may be an eternity before I get my hands on one of these so I am going to try something else.

May I get some recommendations for other Flat Burr grinders of this tier? I know some people on here are not a fan of Kafatek, so it would be interesting to hear what else is suggested. Currently I am thinking about a Lagom P100, which seems well received so far.

Thanks!

EG-1 is the obvious choice.

Alex, might I suggest keeping an eye on the Buy/Sell list here on HB. Seems to me that they pop up on the list fairly often. Hope you find what you're looking for.

I missed 3 or 4 production runs before getting my MAX. I mailed Denis and he put me on the next production run so I waited 9 months before getting it. Denis's craftsmanship is great and the from-factory alignment is amazing. I mailed him about a MC4 but unfortunately it doesn't seem like I'm getting one so I went with the obvious choice the Key from WW. I suggest that you send him mail first if you are interested and if you can't get one then you can find some interesting grinders out there like: EG-1, P100, Titus, Ozik, Molar and Mahlkönig or keep an eye on the buy and sell section like @BaristaBob suggested! Owners sell their old grinders to make room for their new ones.

Ditting 804 / 807 Lab Sweet seems to be getting great reviews at the moment:

I emailed Denis too after missing the last pre-order but unfortunately I can not be added to the next production run. The Ozik looks interesting but no idea when that will be out. I was also interested in the Levercraft but that is also unavailable now haha.

Ive seen this one mentioned a few times but I looked at it and am a little confused. Are people using this as a home single dose grinder with low retention? It looks like those commercial grinders you see in the grocery store

I see that you have a decent. I've always thought decent users tend to like conicals more but why don't you ask on the decent forum for advice and see what people are using. Bentwood is interesting too.
