AllGround Sense

Have to agree with you - I purchased the AllGround Sense recently and the GBW has been such a convenient addition, especially when dialing in new beans, or for the sake of consistency when others are making a coffee. Can't comment on it's performance with lighter roasts, or how it compares to the other grinders listed - but it was a noteable step up in shot quality from the Specialita it replaced. I will say the UI on the Sense is much nicer than on the Libra if that matters, and a friend who owns a Libra frequently gets a 'FH' error when trying to grind - he simply has to remove the portafilter and reinsert, and usually it's all good, but no such problems for me.

I have my Gaggiuino paired with an AllGround Sense

TL;DR: I have only one grinder that I use acros the range. My Fiorenzato AllGround Sense does a great, consistent grid from pour over to espresso. If I did a lot of French press, I might still need a mortar & pestle. I have a Fiorenzato AllGround Sense which, I believe, is just over the 1K$ US threshold. I've had two Baratza's (ESP and Sette 270wi) that did espresso to my liking at the very edge of their range but the motors both died. I then got a flat burr grinder that ground well with more range for espresso but was still in the price range of the Baratzas (400US or so) I won't name the grinder as I neither wish to defend or debate it but the motor also died. I did some research and bought the AllGround Sense for it's beefy motors and because I now had the taste for flat burrs. I've never used the finer third of the dial as for my beans and tastes, it's fine ... enough. I grind some decaf drip for my wife, do some pour overs for friends and have developed a sense of where the dial needs to be. I suspect that the first time I do a dark French press it may not have a fine enough setting bit that day may never come.

Love my ECM, but my fiorenzato all ground sense grinder is my best purchase I’ve ever made

My sister had the df64, her specific one might have been a bad copy, but it was a piece of crap. She paid for the upgraded burrs, and that machine had to be readjusted basically every day to get a good shot, it was very frustrating She upgraded to the allground sense which is unbelievable, so good!!! Best grinder I’ve seen personally. We had the eureka mignon specialita at home, and today we’ve upgraded to the eureka Helios 65, which seems great as well, but doesn’t have grind by weight. If the budget is really not a problem, I would Look at the allground sense or eureka atom w65, as they are considered some of the best home grinders. Also there is a new mahlkonig e64 ws for around 1k which is supposed to be amazing There are much cheaper grinders that are phenomenal, but it seems like you want the best possible. I personally don’t love single dose that much, as I might be a little lazy 🤣

I really love it. I like the look, and I like the wide open top to throw the beans in. And all these other grinders are still compared to the Niche as the baseline. For me, as a one time purchase, I figure the tariff is just a cost of doing business. We should rise up! I also like the Fiorenzato All Ground Sense.

All Ground Sense all the way. I waited a few extra months to get it on sale from ESC. Took delivery in the states in about 4 days. Made a WORLD of difference!

Exactly! I was prepared for 1-2 weeks and boom it showed up. Was fantastic
