Depends on the budget. You get a lot more of a quality in the cup from a hand grinder, and you have to spend a lot of money to get that same quality in the electric grinder. Maintainability, burr swaps and portability also play a role. Personally, I have both: EK43S and Pietro Pro Brew. Once I make a decision to swap the burrs on an EK for a less espresso focused burr, then I’m less likely to use Pietro at home and just use it for travel. For now, I get better brews on Pietro.
r/pourover • I cant decide between an electric or hand grinder. Which do you prefer? ->EK43S (SSP HU) at home, Pietro (M-Modal) for travel.
r/pourover • How many have both electrical and manual grinders for pour overs? ->Yeah, 98 HU exists but it’s completely opposite of what 64/83 HU are! I’m not sure I’d buy one these days as there’s better options, but it’s a workhorse for sure.
r/pourover • How many have both electrical and manual grinders for pour overs? ->I used to have a Baratza preciso and the difference in taste of that and a eureka specialita or a mahlkonig is absolutely shocking to me. My first stack was about $600 as well and I thought I was making good coffee too. Till I got an ecm classica and a specialita. It's basically a different type of drink frankly.
r/espresso • Can I make this machine work with a nice grinder, or is it just a crappy machine [Hamilton Beach Cappuccino Plus 40729] ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
