MAHLKÖNIG - E65S GbW (Grind-by-Weight)

E65s gbw is fantastic in practical home use.

Hi zusammen, ich habe mir gestern eine **La Marzocco Linea Mini** und die **Mahlkönig E64 GBW** gegönnt. Für den täglichen Workflow ist die E64 super – aber ich hätte gerne zusätzlich eine **Single-Dose-Mühle** für wechselnde Bohnen / Experimentieren. Die **Lagom P80** ist mir bisher sehr positiv aufgefallen. Jetzt die Frage: **Muss man dafür wirklich >2.000 € investieren** – oder tut’s für Single Dosing auch was deutlich Günstigeres, ohne dass man sich später ärgert? **Was ich suche:** * Single dosing ohne großes Gefummel * möglichst wenig Retention * primär Espresso (Filter nice-to-have) * leise wäre ein Bonus * Geschmack > „Features“ **Was würdet ihr nehmen und warum?** Gerne auch Alternativen zur P80 (und ob ihr den Aufpreis geschmacklich wirklich merkt).

Most of the recommendation you have received so far are wrong, because their authors erroneously assume that you are "one of us", while you are clearly a normie. You don't need a single-dose grinder; instead, you need a grinder with a hopper and a GbW (**Grind by Weight**) function. Similarly, it is crucial, that your espresso machine is very automated. It must have automatic pre-infusion, and **volumetric** dosing. You don't need manual flow control, etc. \--- For example, espresso machines: Victoria Arduino Eagle One Prima, Sanremo YOU grinders: Mahlkönig E65S GbW, Eureka Atom W 65

This. I have all the grinders for commercial use gb80 gbw , e65 gbw, varios, mazzer zm etc. For my home setup I just pre weigh and use a baratza esp pro. Extremely happy with it, especially at 179.00.

I have one, retention is absolutely dreadful and the portafilter forks don’t work v well. GBW is cool but I’d consider looking elsewhere, maybe the new mahlkonig home gbw?

I have the Mahlkonig e65 GBW. A beast, powerful, quiet and fast. However its big so make sure you have the height.

We have 3 grinders at work including 1 for decaf. The decaf is a smaller Mahlkonig e65s while we use La Cimbali Elective AT grinders for our other 2 beans (single origin and house blend). As above, it’s more about the workflow rather than the bean remnants mixing.

If you tend to switch beans often, get a single dose grinder. Otherwise, for $600 I’d grab that Mahlkonig. It will last forever, and presumably you have the space for it. If you want a different grinder someday, you can sell the e65 at a profit. I use a Mazzer Major picked up from a defunct coffee shop for $250. Same principle. Edit: great Hoffman video. I think he’s spot on. Like the memory lane trip down. Spotted my very own coffee setup in his brief montage of pictures from Home Barista. But we’re talking spending $600 for a grinder, not $2,000. A $600 home grinder isn’t going to grind better than the Mahlkonig.

I have the Mahlkonig and am extremely happy with the results, if you’re looking for recommendations.
