Wilfa - Uniform

You are asking enthusiats, so you get enthusiasts answers. Truth is that any enthusiast would obviously put in the extra work for better coffee, if they have budget constraints. The fellow is far, far away from the coffee version of carbon plated running shoes.. the high end market starts at 10-15 times what you are willing to pay. I am pwrsonally not a fan of hand grinders, so I bought the best I could find used (wilfa uniform) in my local market. So the recomendation is either, stretch your budget, look for used, or get a hand grinder.

It is indeed a very nice grinder. It's a bit slow though

I second this comment and perspective. I have (1) a Wilfa Uniform with SSP 'brew' burrs (£200 + £150 for the burrs); (2) an EK43s with SSP 'brew' burrs and augmented by lots of micromechanical adjustment and precision measurement (£2500 + 500 + 400 for tools and instruments); (3) a 1Zpresso ZP6 hand grinder (£200). The EK43 is definitely the best... but it's nowhere near 10x the quality in the cup of the ZP6, which is much less maintenance and long term hassle, and can go with me on holiday. The ZP6 honestly gets to perhaps 90% of the quality of the EK43, if not the ease of just flipping a switch. And the ZP6 I feel somewhat betters the Wilfa Uniform (it was no slouch though!) In short, for a single grinder that won't go wrong, and offers bang for buck and can go with you on trips, get a *good* hand grinder. For deeper pockets, or sheer convenience, go for electric. But the same money gets you a better hand grinder than electric, up to where sensible hand grinders top out (about £250) and quite far beyond (probably to around £600). Hope this helps!

Haha - I had the Hario Slim and it was a nightmare to grind a sensible amount of coffee. But my ZP6 is actually not that much slower than my Wilfa Uniform, and quite cathartic at that.

I've got it, but it doesn't produce a really clear profile. What's the setting range you usually grind in?

Used to be in this range too, but then I started to grind above 30.

No Wilfa Uniform fans around here? That's my dedicated pour over grinder and would highly recommend it.

Me too!

Wilfa Uniform will grind untill it senses there is nothing left. Ideal for everything apart from espresso (but it's fine for my 9Barista ) and flat burrs. Posh version comes with scales and a recipe app. and it's not horribly noisy.

Yes but that keeps everything cool.

I recently got the Wilfa Uniform and is enjoying it.

OMG - starting to geek out and think the Wilfa I bought at the beginning of lockdown is ready for an upgrade!
