Hvis du ikke skal kverne ekte espressofint, så er wilfa svart aroma bra. Mange av den i nærmeste familie, den bare funker. Litt problemer med statisk kaffe med kaffe fra enkelte produsenter, og så er ikke den innebygde timeren som justerer mengde ut ekstremt nøyaktig. Men for prisen så funker det kjempebra.

Start med å se på Wilfa Svart Aroma, den er for de aller fleste det beste (og enkleste) valget. :) Edit: Presisering

I have a Wilfa Svart Aroma grinder. Had it for years and it still works perfectly and gets used every day. I absolutely love it.

I also thought I didn't want a manual grinder, so I got a wilfa svart aroma. It's okay, but produces a lot of fines, and I ended up getting a kingrinder k6 too. The k6 is way better for pourover and slightly cheaper (£90 Vs ~£115). And it only takes about 30 seconds to grind enough coffee for a pourover. So I wish that I'd just went manual in the first place, though the wilfa is useful for making coffee for a lot of people.

This morning I woke up to the Wilfa WGCS-2 that I bought back 5 years ago as a student had stopped working on me. Now I'm faced with the choice of what to buy next and these are the options that I'm considering. I mostly brew pourovers but the occasional French presses and batch brews as well. My priorities are with a neat and relatively small grinder as I have a tiny kitchen and very limited counter space. I have had hand grinders in the past and have zero interest in one now. A Wilfa Uniform, for 250€ (shipped). I think this is the upper limit on what I'd be willing to pay. I'm questioning if the coffee will be that much better? It's of course cheaper than it was at launch pre-pandemic, and not the new Uniform Evo. It seems like most complaints I see are on build quality (at a 350€ launch price point) or the scale that's not included with mine. Fellow Opus, for 185€ - I like the look and size, people say good things about the coffee but complain about the workflow. I don't mind if it's plasticky, but will it get grinds all over my kitchen? Wilfa Aroma Svart for 150€. A minor upgrade on my old grinder, as they use the same burrs but a different motor. On the list but not something that exites me. Baratza Encore for 140€ (ESP for 170€). I find it a little ugly, and I'm not sure what, if any is the benefit of the ESP for my use cases. Am I missing any obvious options? Anything else I should consider to help make the right choice?
