Femobook - A68 Electric Coffee Grinder

There’s no difference in performance with the plug-in version vs the battery powered version. The battery life and capacity is substantial as well—it’s not uncommon to go a month or longer without needing to recharge. Going with a battery operated version greatly increases your placement options. Plus the A4Z is battery only—there is no plug-in version, so you automatically rule out arguably the best pourover grinder in the Femobook line. If you are going with a plug-in Femobook, the only model that makes sense IMHO is the A68.

I have tasted the A4Z side by side with the A68 - and the A4Z is wildly superior to the A68 in terms of cup clarity, flavor separation, flavor panorama, finish and acidity peak and up front zing. The A68 is a very nice espresso grinder, than can produce nice cups of pour over - that are more akin to a K6. The A68 is nice, but I personally couldn’t live with it as a daily for pour over.

I have femobook a68. wonderful easy to use

I'm a big fan of the Femobook A68.

As the other poster mentioned a C40 or K-Ultra are great blendy grinders, that can also do espresso if you ever have the need to grind that fine in the future. For the flat burr electric side, maybe Timemore 064, or 078 if you can stretch the budget. It's a nice balance of blendy and some clarity. The Ode 2 is a fine grinder, but it's not a great value proposition due to its age. The Lagom Casa is an excellent conical grinder, you can also consider the Femobook A5, or 68 depending on budget for higher quality conicals.

Femobook A68. 68mm of huge conical burr goodness in a 1zpresso K-ultra like compact precise package. Super consistent grinds. Great flavor, separation, clarity and depth. No alignment problems. I love this grinder.

I think this is good advice - the Pietro itself is a pain to use but the Femobook may solve essentially all problems. The one caveat I’ll give about the Motto is we have essentially no idea if it will be any good.
