Why do people pay for machines like the eg1 or monolith grinders when they have such tiny motors? As an engineer, I don't see why these machines cost so much compared to a Ditting lab grinder which have superior components for less. Are people fine with overpaying for design?

Hi folks,

I'm interested in hearing folks' experience with the Nautilus and how they like it. I'm primarily interested in it for brews, but curious about uses for espresso too.

I couldn't find a thread on here specific to people's reviews/experiences using the Nautilus. If I...

Tije modified his first genaration HG One grinder (which he motorized earlier) to have a grind setting ring somewhat like the later models have.

I was looking at the helor stance motor on option-os website and noticed the Coming Soon for the Lagom P64 Flat Burr Grinder. It appears to be a single dose grinder with adjustable RPM similar in design to monolith but keeping the asthetic of the HSM.

I haven't been able to...

Well the cat's out of bag, OE posted on twitter: First cup of coffee brewed with the Apex grinder

Last month I stopped by with another HB member to catch up with Doug and Barb, where we heard all about the big burr grinder in development. They laid out some of the rough...

I purchased a Eureka Olympus 75 from a cafe a little less than a year ago. It came with red speed burrs and has accumulated about 20,600 shots on the shot counter over its life so far (the vast majority of which was in the cafe).

If I assume 20g per shot, that works out to...

Hi all,

After having a few DM conversations with members (like zero610 and Jake_G), I thought it would be a good idea to pool the opinions of all HB brew-focused users.

I'm interested in uncovering what 98mm burrs are optimal for filter brewing only, promoting sweetness and...

Last Friday, FedEx delivered my new Kafatek Monolith Flat. I got in on the February orders, and chose the Flat over the Max because I'm doing mostly medium roasts with the occasional light and occasional dark. Chose the LM Shuriken burrs.

I've only been using it for four days...

Has anyone figured out a way to have the bottomless portafilter sit handsfree while grinding?

I use a funnel and have it set up to just barely balance. However, the funnel tilts a bit and some grinds spray out. Plus it's teetering on falling.

Hi, all
Many times the exit chute of my Ceado E37Z hero is getting clumped and about 2 grams of coffee just doesn't come out.
I am using medium to light roast and not so oily. I do use the RDT but the beans do not get so wet that it should clump.
I am thinking of getting a...
