16g at an espresso setting or drip setting? Drip chews through beans because you're a full rotation or 350 microns coraser so a lot more throughput can occur

2-year user of an MK1 Key. Love it. But love the upgrades of MK2 and am considering upgrading. I have a BATCH BREW question. If you're grinding 60-80g of coffee at a time, does the bean feeder struggle to feed the beans making it terribly slow? On MK1, I have abandoned the bean feeder

Great review, thanks for sharing. Pietro staved off my urge for a dedicated high end pourover grinder. I'd love an EG1 ULF like you have but can't justify the price since I drink more espresso than pourover. For me, Key + Pietro is coffee bliss. Amazing espresso and pourover for $2500 retail is a st...

Pietro fills a wonderful gap for most people on this forum, I think. Most of us are espresso drinkers. Many of us are also filter drinkers. Thus the constant conundrum of a 'grinder that can do both.' For a while, one didn't really exist. Then the Max SLM and Lagom 01 released to join the

One other point. ALL espresso MACHINES HAVE PREINFUSION. Preinfusion has somehow become some sort of mystic 'feature' when the reality is every single machine has it. Preinfusion is the time from pump on to the coffee hitting pressure (sometimes referred to as the dwell). Flow Control or Line Pressu...

You think the Key is not an 'extremely high quality grinder?' I've owned Monolith Flat and Monolith Max. I choose to own a Key because it's the best grinder I've ever owned. Not sure I understand what you're implying?

I am an MK1, Kickstarter Key user. Absolutely love my Key. Had it for 2 years now. I highly recommend. I would love an MK2 and have considered upgrading and might still, for the slick magnetic lid, beanfeeder, and ability to go 30RPM on light roasts. That said, my Key can do MOST coffee fine
