Best Grinder I have Owned
This is my favorite grinder I have owned so far. I like this much better than the Baratza Encore, it is quieter and I feel gives a more consistent grind on any setting. Most of the time I use the medium grind setting in the middle of medium for use on my AeroPress. When I am doing espresso in my espresso machine I use the highest setting on fine and it gives a good grind for a nice shot in my espresso maker. It is a little messy because not all of the grinds go into the container but I have not seen any burr grinder that is not a little messy. I have not had any static problems in my container. I take the top off then the top grinder portion off, that always collects the "chaff" of the coffee beans and I just tap that into the sink because I don't want that in my coffee grinds. I then tilt it a little forward and give it a couple taps to get the grinds in the burr into the container. If you don't do that there will be grinds you will have to throw out. I then pour straight from the container to my AeroPress, or my espresso basket. Its easy to pour from because the container has corners on it. I attached some pictures of a medium grind. You can see the "chaff" that gets stuck to the top grinder, there is also a picture of how much is on there when I tapped it off. I also have a picture of the amount I tapped off from the top grinder portion and the leftovers I tapped out from inside the grinder. I always tap that into the container so I don't waste the coffee.
