Best Commercial Grinder

On a quest to find the best grinder has led me to this, in no particular order. I did come across a couple of nice home grinders, so I might as well include them here.

The Ditting KR805/Mahlkonig Tanzania/Marco Uber Grinder is apparently the best, and who am I to argue, I've used them and get a very complex taste on the V60, woodneck and french press, tastes that are exactly on the roasters description. By far my favourite for pour over. Perfect for the single dose, with a little tapping of the lid and the bag holder handle. 15g in 15g out.

The Malykee Coffee Grinder - All I can say is wow, pretty.

Baratza/Mahlkonig home grinders - These charts say it all, I think they may have got their 585 and 586 mixed up though.

THE Mahlkonig K30 - Is my choice for an espresso grinder.

Robur E - Also called the beast.

Hario Hand Mill - Hook it up with a drill and wham bam thank you ma'am.

Versilab - Very very impressive single dose grinder

Let's not forget the Ceado E37 - What a nice machine - Looks like a small neck, doubt much would get stuck in there.

This hand held beast - probably the best hand grinder out there.

I have seen a modified Kitchenaid Vertical Burr grinder with mazzer burrs, it looked like an improvement.


That's all for now folks!

Smile!!

Don't you hate it when someone tells you to smile? I mean, if someone is telling you to smile, that means that they've been watching you for the last however long to gauge if you've been smiling or not. In the mean time, the person being watched is thinking, 'Why are they watching me so much?' 'Is there something on my shirt?' 'Do they have the hot's for me?' Then all of a sudden you get told to, 'Smile!' :) Chances are that they were happy, before someone became fixated on them and started making them feel uncomfortable. If you want to make someone smile, you make the environment that person is in, pleasant to be in. You allow them trust, speak to them with respect & give them space to be themselves, to allow them to smile. It's like the phrase, 'have a great day', when someone says it, they mean, 'I hope you have a great day', not 'have a great day or I'll make sure I don't see you around here again'. Maybe you could compare it better with sex, one tries to make the other feel good, but you wouldn't really expect your partner to say, 'orgasm!', 'now!', then fire you if you fail to perform. Being told to do the things which come naturally to nearly everyone when given a conductive environment is unnatural and only done by those because it's been done to them before, or they simply just don't think about these things. Who know's. But if you want to make someone feel good, make yourself feel good and remember, smile!
