It's awesome, looks nice, has really low retention and coffee tastes great. I don't get it how others say it doesn't grind fine enough for espresso, I'm at level 2 for 1:2 espresso and there is still so much clicks below that.
Timemore Bricks 1S for $169. Was looking for upgrade from my basic Delonghi elctric grinder, looking between DF54 and this. DF54 is almost double the price in my country due to tax and hype lol so tried timemore and no regret so far. Great build quality (all metal), smooth sound, and lots of adjustment. I only make lattes tho
Timemore Bricks 01s.
Currently 299 euros from their European distributor. I have one and I love it, I prefer it to my Eureka Mignon Manuale.

Timemore/Millab M01 for pourover. Quite a few ppl in the sub really like it. I just got one myself, and so far it’s living up to the hype IMHO. Build quality is amazing, and it‘s a pleasure to grind with. I also own a K-Ultra and several other grinders. K-Ultra is excellent too, but if you don’t plan to travel with it, I’d go with the M01 if forced to pick one.
I’ve been using a Timemore Bricks 01S for about two weeks now and honestly it’s the grinder I’m most excited about right now.
Not saying it’s automatically the best option in the $500 range, but I think it deserves a lot more attention than it gets compared to the Sculptor series.
It’s surprisingly compact, feels very well built and so far I’ve enjoyed both espresso and pour over with it.
I posted a quick first impressions / unboxing video here:

I bought it 6 months ago. If you want to use it mainly for Espresso, I suggest you opt for other grinders that can produce finer grounds.
I like the design, build quality, very compact. The details like the rotary knocker & magnetic for the dosing cup like in Sculptor078 are nice addition.
However it produces rather coarse grind for Espresso even in 0 setting. I asked the distributor (I live in Jakarta) if I can tweak it by adding shims like I did with my Baratza Sette 270Wi. They said no, so the only option adding the dose.
With some beans, I even added up to >22 g still with very fast flow rate, under 18 s.

Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.
