Thanks for sharing. Excellent photography, what camera and lens are you using?

What grinder did to move up from before the EG-1?

• Forgiveness: The conical evidently needs less adjustment day-to-day than the Flat. Fiddly stuff drives me insane.
• The consensus is that the medium-to-semidark roasts I tend to prefer favor grinding on conicals.
• The M-Con costs less than her M-Flat brother.

I love my M-Con. While I'm curious how the same coffee would turn out ground on a M-Flat, and whether my palate would perceive any difference, much less any preference, I feel no desire to have one, nor any other grinder. If the M-Con's longevity exceeds my own -- as I expect it shall -- I'll die a happy man.

John,

Think your list and mine are in perfect agreement. Now the only thing that separates us is the fact you own one and I do not...yet!

David, to get the all black look on your Monolith, you had to order the black anodized and the black motor options, correct?

After seeing those fluffy grinds, I thought I'd post what flows from my Rancilio Rocky. This is not a "dump" on the Rocky, just the facts. It's three years old, in excellent condition, with sharp burrs. It wasn't until I started using a bottomless pf that I became aware of the poor flow thru the pf. I've solved most of this with lots of WDT, a distribution tool, and a Decent Espresso tamper. But the appearance of the grinds thru the MonoCon is just mind blowing!

If you look closely you can see Mt. Rainer, Mt. Saint Helens, Mt. Hood all at the same time.

Yes

Ron, that's the Johnny Cash of coffee grinders.
