Mazzer - Major VP

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

3 that are actually in use: -MC6 and Major with ssps for espresso -Bunn with ssps for drip More that aren't: -Hobart grocery store grinder -zassenhaus knee mill -baratza encore

Put your money into coffee beans instead… otherwise zp6 (or pietro) or anything that has 83mm ssp lab sweet (ditting) cast burrset (I have mazzer major for the purpose due to small budget but the workflow is a compromise here, DF83 would do the job too) sculptor 078 design looks great, works great but then other issues…

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.
