Mazzer - Major

I’ve got 5 at this point, mazzer major with ssp burrs for daily espresso, wilfa svart for filter, an ascaso mini for decaff espresso, a turkish grinder and a cheapy one for spices. The wilfa was bought for having at work, but now I’m remote it’s not seen a lot of use

Mazzer Major, with ssp burrs. Got it super cheap (£300) when Starbucks was dumping them when they switched to super automatics years ago. It’s a giant tank, but it’s consistent.

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.

Espresso machines and grinders still have significant manufacturing in Italy and other western countries. None of my equipment is made in China. Mazzer, Kafatek, LA Marzocco, Elektra.

Mazzer is really worth it. Trust me.

Definitely get them to look at the used market. There are always loads of used Mazzer commercial grinders on the used market and they are built to last and will be within budget.

Suosittelen torista etsimään esim mazzerin espressomyllyä (sen tyylinen mitä kahviloissa on). Kun ne kestävät ikuisuuden eivätkä maksa käytettynä paljoa mitään sekä erittäin helppoja korjata tarpeen tullen.
