A2 Electric Coffee Grinder

I got the A2 for my daughter because she would never use a hand grinder. It was $87 on Jan 1st. It’s a conical burr, the body is plastic and the grind adjustments are kind of annoying, but the batteries are rechargeable and replaceable. Seemed to work pretty well overall.

Currently using a Femobook A2 and for something so cheap I'm massively surprised by it. I paid £66 on Ali Express and I love it. Is it the best grinder out there? Of course not. But for the money it's fantastic. It's a slow grinder, but that doesn't bother me in the least. I use a Flair Neo Flex and the two pair brilliantly well IMHO. Had been using a Kingrinder K4, which I also loved. But advised to stop hand grinding by my GP due to golfers/tennis elbow.

I just bought the A2 and used it for the first time this morning. Actually this was my first time delving into making "good" coffee. Got a Hario switch and beans from a great local roaster. It was pretty damn great. One question I haven't been able to run down is the zero-ing process. Turning to clockwise to tighten, it turns about 10 or so clicks past zero before it gets fully closed. So when I'm counting my clicks to do a pour over grind, should I do 50-ish from the number zero, or from the fully closed position? Also, is there any logic to the numbers being 4 clicks apart instead of...like 5 or 10??

I had pretty similar parameters as you and will be about 150 under budget. Keep in mind the adaptor releases soon, so I'm speculating on the quality, but I have no reason to doubt it will be anything but good. Femobrook A2, Fused Visions Pietro adaptor with stand and the Pietro M burrs. You'll have a portable and elite grinder all in one.

My advice would be never buy a cheap grinder if you use it for espresso. Sure the logic may be "But its only 3000rs", but it will grind terrible coffee, break after 6-12 months and be shit for your workflow. Rather wait a bit or invest more into something that will be great and give you proper grind consistency, and last for 10-15 years with proper maintenence. My suggestions for espresso would be, in the lower cost bracket: \- Timemore C3 ESP PRO ($100) \- Timemore Whirly electric grinder ($150) \- Femobook A2 electric grinder ($99)

I recently gifted a Femobook A2 to family, i tried it - it's super good for the money. The burrs are very similar tasting to my Comandante C40 Mk4.

The Fusedvisions Femobook A2 mod is amazing. The Gevi Grindmaster VelPro is probably the best grinder around under $500. There's also a cheap Chinese made flat burr grinder available on Amazon for like $165 that performs great and is compatible with SSP Burrs. Company named Mokkom and the unit is stainless steel. There's a decent amount of lower cost grinders these days.
