STARSEEKER - EDGE Electric Coffee Grinder

I'm curious to know where you have it set for espresso? I have an edge as well and I pretty much dial my beans into a sweet spot between 4.5 - 7, though I've seen recommendations from the company that it should be far closer to the 2 range for espresso.

Is the edge able grind 70g of beans at a time? I was looking at this grinder as an option but would need to grind 70g at a time for batch brew on my moccamaster

Thank you! I ended up just using a large dosing cup on one of these for grinding my beans for drop. Works really good

Can it do it, yes, but the cup that catches the grounds only held 50g of beans. So, if you load up the hopper, just stop halfway through when the cup fills up then empty into the coffeemaker and finish it off. You could probably figure out someway to fit a larger cup or remove the cup holder arms and fit a larger cup underneath. I wouldn’t say it’s ideal, but if you wanted both an espresso and drip coffee grinder that’s actually capable of doing both easily, this is a great grinder!

I just bought the edge and should get it next week. I bought it specifically for espresso since I have a Bunn G3 already, but I like the idea of the versatility for automatic brewing as well. I will try to remember to push it to its limit on capacity and report back.

Overall I would say it’s 4/5 stars. It’s truly an all in one and can do both espresso and pour over very well. It’s also very quiet which I greatly appreciate when everyone else is sleeping and hasn’t ever woken anyone up by it. It’s solid and well built with almost 100% metal construction. The small footprint is excellent for saving space on the counter. Very low retention (generally 0.1 gram or less). The ONLY real downside is it’s relatively slow. As in it takes nearly a minute to do 20grams. If you can pick it up on AliExpress for $200ish it’s probably one of the best you can get in the price range.

Mine is about perfect right between 3.4 and 3.5 and then maybe up or down one or two ticks from there depending on various roasts. I actually started at 2.5 and couldn’t get any water through it so backed it down to 3 and it was still a struggle but closer. Worked my way back to 3.2 then 3.4 and it was flowing perfectly.

My initial reaction to using a new Starseeker Edge single dose grinder this morning is very positive. Starting at the most clockwise setting/position/tightest position and turning counter clockwise 360° and further to 6 on the dial made for a beautiful grind and not many fines if at all! I use a paper filter in my moka pot but I can go finer next time. Also, no retention. Measured 18.9 beans and got the same output.
