I have just bought the DF64V and waiting delivery, up until now i have only used machine grinders like on the sage barista pro and the Ninja Luxe so I'm hoping my expensive grinder investment is a worthwhile one and i really notice the difference
Comment from : @billyheddle8552

I would agree with everything you say with the caveat the coffee machine must have at least a PID or a very good level of thermal stability such as a E61 after that its diminishing returns with the machine and the grinder makes all the difference it really also depends on what coffee you intend to drink for eg I have used a Eureka Mingnon Specialita for the last 3 years but have realised the Burrs are best for that traditional Italian style espresso profile, and they excel with for dark to median roasts but not for for median light and light roasts So if you want to venture in more lighter roasts as a pure espresso drinker you will need a different grinder with burrs more suited to such roast profiles

guess I will be getting that 4k grinder after all

Hia Kev after a bit of advice My wife bought me a Dedica 685 After doing some research I'll be getting a new porta filter at the end of the month and a grinder So, bearing in mind I'll be upgrading the system what £200 ish grinder would you recommend?
Comment from : @TeamHoff1

@Coffee_Kev would you say that buying the Bambino Plus with say the Eureka Specialita/DF64v2 would be a much better option than say Sage Dual Boiler with the Sage Grinder Pro ie the former would produce much better coffee than the latter?
Comment from : @hash5191

It's given me such a headache all this coffee malarkey Got the bambino plus, not sure what grinder to purchase or even chich coffee is best for flat whites
Comment from : @justingrainger6627

Doesn't the last test in your video suggest the opposite of what you're trying to show here, if both shots are nearly identical but for one of them you've used a £100 grinder? :)
Comment from : @garethstephens5060

I've recently found your channel as I am looking to buy a proper grinder, love your content! I will add however, that I am not having that you have kids that are 21 and 22 You must have been drinking the same stuff as Patrick Strewart and William Shatner
Comment from : @scotteh85

This concept is the exact thing I was looking for! I've been wondering for a long time Side note: love how you're taking the piss out of the cliche Youtuber faces in the thumbnails LOL - keep it up man, love what you're doing

I love this Dumb question I just bought a barista express I own an encore esp and a k ultra Will the esp give me anything more than the built in grinder? I know the k ultra is a step up but will be extra effort
Comment from : @Howie-bz5pe

Would you consider 1zpresso J-Ultra a good and capable grinder? I bought it along side gaggia classic evo pro for my first setup ;)
Comment from : @elyselapalme7040

Great video, Kev Got a question for you We have the Sage Barista Touch Impress coffee machine Largely chosen due to your very informative videos 😊brWe get our beans from a local roaster and we love our set upbrMy question is, which grinder would you suggest to go with our set up as we would like to have decaff beans later in the day as the wastage of beans that would happen if we kept switching from decaff to normal beans would be a lot brMany thanks 😊

WDT in 2024 ?!?
Comment from : @DownMarketCoffee

Scoot off, you had kids when you were 5?
Comment from : @wesleydevries7415

would using a hand grinder allow one to save some money? like how much do you have to actually spend for entry level grinder to pull espresso that you will actually enjoy? is 50usd timemore c3esp enough? or can you get something for 100usd? or 200?
Comment from : @mothe

for a budget of around $200/250 what would be a decent setup for an absolute beginner?? i was about to do that, spend on a delonghi 3630 and a $30 grinder from amazon
Comment from : @ivang5998

I use a Dedica but found a big improvement when I went from the SAGE Dose Control Pro to an iZpresso J Max hand grinder True, the hand grinder was more expensive than the Dose Control Pro but dialling in a shot is very easy given the extremely high level of control afforded, eg moving the extraction time by 2-3 seconds with a few clicks of the grind adjustment I feel this is important as the Dedica doesn't provide many parameters you can control eg the pre infusion time is fixed etc

Comment from : @MLew22

Sage dose control pro grinder, how do you take the burrs out for cleaning?
Comment from : @michaeljones1836

Makes sensewhich leaves the questionwhat grinder to get ? (for a reasonable cost) I've got the stock grinder, which was included as a bundle with Dual Boilerthinking of upgrading
Comment from : @yams900

Better a top quality grinder and an Aeropress than a cheapo grinder and a pricey machine
Comment from : @gblan

100 right! Using a DF40P grinder and getting sublime shots from a $160 DeLonghi
Comment from : @gscottfuller

Haha, I have a Niche zero grinder and mainly use a £600 plastic V60 for pour over, although I do have a Bambino plus I generally drink pour over coffee
Comment from : @kevins2961

I bought a Sage Bambino Plus and a Niche Zero I dont think you get much more entry level of an espresso machine than the SBP (which is worth using anyway) The grinder was double the price that I paid for the espresso machine and I get really tasty shots out of it £550 is a lot of money for a coffee grinder if you're new to the world of espresso but it's the best investment I've made to my home setup
Comment from : @fraub1

Kev, do you recomend a naked unpressurised portafilter for my delonghi dedica rather than the pressurised one that comes with the machine? If so, which portafilter and basket do you recommend? Ta, mate
Comment from : @camelgrana

so which grinder for my bamby plus
Comment from : @matthewharty6531

I have a Barestia Touch machine and the espresso does not taste that good I have been thinking about upgrading to a better grinder I’m hoping this will help I just have to make a decision on which grinder to get You do not look like you gave kids in their twenties! Love this video!
Comment from : @gailoakley4010

I agree I have a Breville Barista Pro and I bought a Eureka Mignon Facile grinder, what a difference in grind quality and flavor :)
Comment from : @topjets5616

What’s your thoughts on hand grinders such as Made by Knock or Commadante I feel they are better for the money as you’re not paying in part for an expensive motor over quality burrs and they’ll last longer
Comment from : @roberthorton2744

That's mad! You don't look a day older than 28! Great video I was umming and ahhing for years about an all in one espresso machine and someone suggested that you are better off getting separate machines instead I eventually paired a bambino plus with a eureka specialita I actually 3D printed a single dose hopper and brought some bellows for the grinder so I get the same amount output
Comment from : @tautegu

Thanks for the video, I knew we needed a decent grinder and it was going to cost more than my machine Had my sage Duo temp for several years and very much enjoy the workflow, with the limited number of buttons first thing in a morning being a real bonus Well overdue to move on from buying ground coffee, mostly drink flat white with just occasional French press use, Niche zero seems to be a good fit, yes?
Comment from : @tinakerr8163

Bought the bambino for the purpose of working with preground works perfectly with paper filters on the puck to get smooth coffee Have little place and don't like a noisy grinder during the coffee experience
Comment from : @RS265cup

Personally, I will spend most of my money on quality beans and reasonable budget on midrange gears
Comment from : @sonltt

There are other factors for the machine Pressure gauge-pid-solenoid valve ect Machine has to be first for me It has to be a quality machine unlike these low level breville and delonghi appliances
Comment from : @stanleyderochea6505

Excellent video Kev I'd appreciate your thoughts on upgrading a Sage Barista Express with a Niche Zero I'm worried that I could spend a lot of money but not notice much improvement in the cup
Comment from : @alainsalesse5555

Great video, thanks So how capable is the built in grinder that comes with the Sage machines? Is it still worth buying a standalone grinder?
