Overview & Comparison of Shardor Coffee Grinders

Running Shardor 64 w/ Ode2 burrs. Very pleased with the result.

I just got a Cafelat Robot and needed a better grinder, myself. I got a Shardoor 64 mm flat burr grinder. It's about as fancy as a Baratza ESP, but it grinds beautifully, and you can put a set of SSP burrs in it that cost more than the grinder itself! It's only $169.99 on Amazon, but I got one brand new in the box for $100.00 on eBay. I haven't pulled a bad shot with it, yet (except when I was dialing in). Hard to beat that price and upgradeability for a flat burr machine. Lance Hedrick and Daddy Got Coffee both did a review of it.

Shardoor flat burr grinder. Same price as the Baratza, but far better. You can even put high dollar burrs in it if you want. I got mine on eBay new in the box for $100.00. I uase mine with a Cafelat Robot and have had nothing but good pulls after I got it dialed in. Oh, and I have had zero retention with it, also.

Get the shardor or a similar Chinese flat burr grinder, they go for about 150-200$ and are usually pretty good and reliable, my Shardor has been great for grinding espresso and pour over.
