Coffee Grinder CG628B

I love my shador grinder, I believe you can get the v1 for under 200. I believe you will be happy with either. I used a jmax hand grinder for several years before “upgrading.” It is very sweet and easy to use/clean.

I actually have been super enjoying my shardor grinder I got the metal one. I like how fast it grinds I thought about returning it cause I saw a bad review on YouTube. But I didn’t want to go back to waiting 30 seconds for grind time. I get 18g in 8 seconds!

I use the Shardor coffee and spice grinder which comes with 2 removable stainless steel bowls, one for dry and one for wet ingredients. These are perfect for small quantities.

How do i fix this? I bought an OEM version of this machine with a different brand logo, but it's exactly the same factory machine as the Shaedor. It cost me only around $83 at my local store. It works pretty well, but this is my first time using a grinder machine, so I’m not sure what might not be working well or how to improve it.

I got Ode2 burrs for my Shardor. Much better results. Far less fines.

$30 bucks Shardor on Amazon prime sales. Easily modded to grind finer. Didn't know if I'd stick to this hobby, and I did. During the time my (replaced and twice fixed) old machined died, so upgraded to a Delonghi Dedica. So was trying out a cheapo. Thought of upgrading but no need to. Challenges of cheap machines are... never consistent. Espresso is actually VERY easy if you have the right machines, beans, etc. Usually expensive equipments will cover for little variables and mistakes. Kitchen appliance cheap machine is the hardest to make a good cup, IMHO. So don't go too cheap. 😁

I just bought a shardor and it works great with a bottomless at setting 3. I was going to return it on day 1 if it didn’t and thankfully it’s all good. I’m starting to think that a lot of these “rules” about grinders people have held for years now are starting to fall apart as new products hit the market. I recall a few years ago being told you can’t make espresso in any machine under $300 (used) and a friend of mine recently got one of those cheap $130 CasaBrews with a bottomless portafilter and it makes great espresso. Yeah, it’s cheap and probably won’t last many years, but it completely defies everything I had read on this sub a few years ago.
