Wilfa - Uniform Evo CG4B-S150

Har en tidligere utgave av den selv, og denne nye har større fleksibilitet. Kan absolutt anbefale, men ta det etter behov.

I have the uniform and was extremely happy with it - rarely used now as I’ve gone to the espresso world

Why is that? I've had the uniform and now the uniform Evo. Great grinders. How is the fellow better?

Jeg har en Wilfa som kosta 900kr for noen år siden som fungerer til det meste, og en håndkvern som kosta det dobbelte som er for spesialkaffe og spesielle anledninger. Jeg lager for det meste håndbrygg. Wilfaen er den tredje elektriske kverna jeg kjøpte, de to foregående var billigere. Den første kosta hundre kroner på Jula og holdt i et år, gjorde forsåvidt jobben, men kvernegraden ble veldig upålitelig før jeg satt den opp på loftet. Den andre var et obs-kjøp, var 300kr, og egentlig dårligere enn den første. Wilfaen har vart meg seks år til nå, og viser ingen problemer.

Would recommend the Wilfa Uniform. Great for single dosing larger amounts and great for drip.

I've been using the Wilfa Uniform for a few years now, fantastic grinder, doesn't _quite_ have the control for espresso but great for everything else. And hell, it'll do you an espresso grind, you just won't be able to make micro-adjustments.

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?

I upgraded from a Wilfa Svart Aroma to a Wilfa Uniform, and I noticed a big difference for the better in the taste of my pour overs. The Uniform is a fairly slow grinder, but I think it's a good one for the price range. One annoyance I found was that it retains a bit of coffee (maybe like 0.5 - 1g normally when I grind 40g), but you can get most of that out by opening and closing the lid a couple times after grinding, so the air pressure pushes out any remaining grounds.

+1 for ode Other notable options imo: Mhw3Bomber f74 Commandante c40 mk4 Wilfa uniform Barratza encore esp Varia VS3 Kinggrinder k6 (Rented all of those for a while before ending with an ode)

Wilfa - price has gone up in past few years and it doesn't seem to be reviewed recently but James Hoffmann did a review a few years ago and rated it as a good solid entry grinder.

I’ve got one and am very happy with it. The wilfa Can’t do espresso grind but that’s a whole different level of control and equipment I suppose.

It’s also quite small compared to other grinders

Someone here was not too impressed with it around 5 years ago… https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/s/Omic6ZFAWa
