Pros and cons
Pros
- Coffeeness praises particle uniformity from AeroPress to Chemex and V60 with the 64 mm flat burrs.
- Home Grounds says the Gen 2 burrs reach about 300 microns, compared with about 600 on Gen 1.
- Home Grounds found it grinds 30 g to medium in under 20 seconds, much faster than the Wilfa Uniform.
- Coffeeness says the redesigned chute greatly reduces static and retention.
- Both Coffeeness and Home Grounds describe the sound as low-pitched and gentle.
Cons
- Fellow says it is not intended for espresso.
- Home Grounds says grounds tend to stay stuck in the catch cup fins.
- Coffeeness lists the price and a short limited warranty as downsides.
- Coffeeness says Fellow advises avoiding the finest setting until the burrs break in.
What owners report
- Not an espresso grinder. Home Grounds says 300 microns is technically fine but the steps are too large for dialing in. It points to the Opus, Niche Zero or DF64 for espresso.
- Better than Gen 1 for light roasts. Home Grounds says light-roast pour-overs tasted sweeter and less sour than with Gen 1.
- Burr upgrades exist. Coffee Chronicler tested SSP burrs and found them very consistent. This review mainly covers Gen 1 with Gen 2 burrs fitted, so treat it as background.
What experts measured
- Home Grounds measured 82 dB with a medium roast. Coffeeness reported around 80 dB using a phone app.
- Fellow lists 31 total steps across 11 settings and a 100 g load bin.
