    Surely a cheap dripper would be just as good?

    And do you need to make 12 cups at a time?

    At a tenth of the price.
    Plunger (sorry, French press) would also be good.

    Negatives I can see:

    • Stainless vs ceramic burrs (ceramic are nicer)
    • Hopper path for grinds looks sideways, so a lot will probably get stuck
    • Only 18 grind settings. My cheap Sunbeam has 25 settings and I still can't get espresso right all the time
    Is this your first electric grinder? Are you doing filter/Aeropress or espresso?

    I've had a cheap sunbeam blade grinder for years to go with my Saeco Via Venezia and its giving up the ghost. Thinking about upgrading to a Burr Grinder but don't really want to spend more more than $100-150.

    I got given a really nice bean I enjoy, but they gave it to me already ground.
    I think it's too fine for my machine. Is there anything I can do?

    Do you have a dual wall filter(pressurized)? Should work with that

    Coffee that fine is intended for French press etc

    Yes, we changed out to the dual wall attachment. Still just seems to be fluffy, if that makes sense. I mean, it tastes okay(?) and very similar to the shops, but I just feel like it could be better

    Yeah it seems like its not really intended for a machine, but as long it tastes nice

    How have I missed this thread?!
    I've been working from home to some degree for many years, so when we renovated our kitchen last year, I treated myself to a nice setup.

    Love it... just slowly, slowly improving my technique.

    Typically using local beans from B3 in Blackwood - nice and fresh.
