Thanks for this Kyle. I've got the 070 with stainless steel burrs. Amazon had it for $209. I was saving for a Eureka Mignon Facile. That has 50mm burrs. So for half the price I got 60mm burrs. Matched up well with my GCP. I was really surprised with the flavors the flat burr got with my filter brew. Nice sweetness and complexity. Overall I'm very pleased with this little guy that punches above its weight. Urbanic shipped it to me here in Costa Rica for $45 in 11 days.😊
I have had the 070S for over a year now and I love it. The 070S is stepped, but with a simple 5 min modification and Teflon tape and it becomes stepless. Lance Hendricks suggested how to do it and I don't regret it. I got the 070S with titanium burs. I highly recommend it. I also use a bellow to reduce retention.
I live in Korea and these are easier to find compared to other grinders and it’s cheaper than other brands that cost more especially because they need to be exported. I’ve had really good results! I’ve worked at specialty cafes and so dialing in is pretty easy. I’ve only used it for espresso though. Only issue is the mess it makes and also it’s a bit inconsistent. For a budget grinder, it’s super underrated
I have the 070s. If you align the burrs with aluminum foil shims, the fines production for filter goes way down. The machining tolerances aren’t super tight which isn’t surprising given the price point so if you follow Lance Hedrick’s shimming tutorial it performs a lot better in terms of fines. But stock it definitely does produce a lot of fines in the filter range no doubt. I got the bellows and it does dramatically improve retention. For someone who wanted to upgrade out of hand grinder and get both espresso and filter out of a single grinder for not an insane amount of money I’m extremely happy with my purchase. Also I personally find it aesthetically beautiful but that’s obviously up to individual taste. But as someone who was in the very same situation, if you’re looking for entry level single grinder for both filter and espresso like I was, I highly recommend an urbanic.
Good stuff Kyle! The world of grinders is changing and expanding, and you've become one of my "go to" TH-camrs for all things coffee, especially grinders.
I love when Kyle asks me to like, subscribe and tap the bell, but I already liked and I'm subscribed and the bell is on for more than a year. Thanks Kyle! Your awesome videos keep me coming back!
My favorite Roasters are Eleven Speed Coffee in Victoria, BC. Rogue Wave Coffee from Edmonton, AB and Broadway Roastery from Saskatoon, SK if I'm looking for local beans.
If you order this grinder from Urbanic directly, you can request to get a bellows type hopper instead of the standard hopper at no additional charge! Took mine a little over a week to arrive from the day I ordered to TN, USA.
I love the look of this one. The shape remind me of my gramma's pedal sewing machine. There's definitely style to that combo, with your manual press. I've been considering this 080, the mignon facile (a stripped down silencia), or a sette 270. Their strengths are quite different from each other. The noise is deal killer for the 270, although it appears the best for single dose. I'd like to see grind retention compare between these two, and particle distribution. My thought on this is the fine tune adjust precision does not seem as easy for tiny micro adjusts as the other two.
Looks so cute, mini EK43, and so cheap for such a beauty. It seems this $300 market is growing very fast lately, so many electric grinders in this range now, exciting time for coffee lovers.
When the Baratza Encore ESP is released, that might be a good grinder to compare to this one. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more companies including a spray bottle in the box. I’ve spray RDT’d every time since discovering the technique. I’ve forgotten static and retention can be an issue since my last three grinders have never been operated without RDT.
I am planning to buy the Mahlkonig X54. I think I must go with this Urbanic 080. Cheaper, fast, fairly good with less retention. Thanks for the review Sir. Very informative as always.

Compare to SD40 for a deep chocolaty espresso? I don't like clear, tea-like coffee...I like rich and complex full bodied goodness with notes that still stand out. What are your thoughts?
I think this is the one for me for the time being, after a long research period. Primarily because of budget, can be customized and it can do both espresso and filter (emphasis on espresso for me 😅) Thanks to your videos research was a bit easier. 😀
I woke up to this video so I'm just about to watch while I brew a Saturday morning cuppa for my hubby and I (and a babyccino for our little one). We've been enjoying Hello Coffee roasted in Apollo Bay, Victoria Australia:)
Fave roastery? I'm spoilt for choice, smack bang in the middle between the Hoff's Square Mile in Walthamstow , and also Liberty Coffee roastery up by Ally Pally . Both delicious roasters 🤩. Recently got into aeropress after spending years with a lightly upgraded gaggia classic. Those long morning filter coffees on the aero are amazeballs... Sounds like this could be a good grinder to match !
This is an appealing grinder. I'd love to hear a comparison between this one and the Lagom Mini. My favorite coffee roaster = Oddly Correct in Kansas City.
Thanks Kyle, great video! My favorite roaster is: Roastery 46 in Halifax, Nova Scotia! I’m the head roaster so I might be a bit biased. Cheers brother🤙🏻
I had this and the auger never dragged the beans through . I’d have to take off the hopper and push down the beans . Super annoying . I shifted to a breville smart grinder until I order a niche in April
Great review! I was intrigued by some of the Ode mods that allow stepless dialing in of espresso. But this seems like a more sure bet, with a nice incremental burr upgrade path to the more monodisperse grinds. Very excited to see the review of the SD40 for comparison!
Love the look of all these ”mini EK43s” and they do seem like interesting grinders. Would like to see how this compared to something like a specialita or similar grinder. Favourite roaster would have to be Gringo coffee rosters. Just for the extreme variety they have and still being able to produce quality consistently.
Oo please do a review of the SD40. Not a lot of review for it yet. Been torn between SD40 or Fellow Ode for my filter grinder but eventually chose the Ode for the full features and room for upgrade.
Based on what you and Lance Hedrick have said so far, I'm starting to really like these Urbanic grinders. I feel like I could get along fine with checking the Urbanic's burr alignment and nothing else. Maybe the heights of the Urbanic versus the Ode will be the big differentiator for me and my wife.
I know you shouldn’t compare flat and conical but I’m really between the Urbonic and the Lagom mini with moonshine burrs. Im primarily interested in espresso. Still a little leery of the power and speed of the mini if I’m making a few for friends. Seems like the mini is in the clarity side of conical and Urbonic on the body side of flat burrs. One is a little bigger and more powerful the other a little sleeker but limited in power (maybe durability?) I would throw the Df64 in as an obvious contender as well. If I was more into filter coffee I would look into a power mod to slow it down.
Hey Kyle, I’m one of your new subscriber from Quebec and was wondering what you would suggest for a budget of 1000-1500$ grinder and espresso machine! This Urbanic would be a good choice ? Me and my GF uses different coffee grain as she uses decaf , so I supposed a single dose and the option of switching to a hopper if she ever decide to go back to caffeine! Thank you!
Really interested in this as an entry into espresso grinder. Excited to see your comparison later on. Add a new burr set and a bellows and this might be the choice. Also, Really digging one of my local spots here in Chicago, Passion House! Also love Topeca Coffee Roasters out of Tulsa, OK!

Yes AND u brewed on a flair?!!! Oh I get it. So if I click the subscribe button I don't have to worry about remembering the TH-camrs name. Gotcha
When you review the SD40 can you please compare it to the Niche Zero? I want to see if it can make an old-school heavy bodied espresso (and pour-over) similar to the Niche...
Looking forward to a showdown of all the sub-$500 grinders. Or at least it seems like everything should be compared to the Niche, as that's becoming the new TH-cam standard for coffee enthusiasts.
Deciding between this with upgraded burrs, or a stock DF64P. Is the taste and clarity on the DF64 worth the extra expense? (I would be brewing on a flair pro 2)
I have the Urbanic 70 which I’ve added the ‘gevi’ burrs to and made ‘step less’. RPM are way too high to be a good grinder. Not sure but would guess the 80 is also high rpm? Nowhere near as nice as the Sette 270…but is quieter!
So I’ve been testing rpm and can’t seem to get a good reading on my tach because of the short reach of the shaft. Will have to further my testing but I don’t think Rpm is a reason to avoid this grinder. The Sette pushes over 500rpm for a conical which is not slow by any means.
looks like a modern rebadge of the Asian market shop grinders that are everywhere you go, outside of America -I had a Jericho, but they go by countless names. it wasn’t bad once I put a Guatemala burr set on it
Great summary, cheers! Got this bad boy myself after Lance did a video and haven't been disappointed. Not perfect but I do like the aesthetics, small footprint and indeed the espresso it produces (definitely add a bellows!). With import taxes added it's unfortunately way too close to superior grinders like the DF64.
My current espresso grinder is 1zpresso jmax but getting ready to possibly buy baratsa sette 270. I really like the looks of this. I'm curious hoe it would stand up to the sette 270. I have a baratsa encore and a older commercial grindmaster for filter so I'm good there.
Just placed an order for a Lagom Mini... how does this compare/is it worth canceling and going this route. (was looking for a budget grinder to do espresso and also filter when needed). Just got a breville bambino for home espresso
Hm… I really like the mini. I think the mini is better for both outta the box but it is a bit more money and a conical. It’s also only possibly to do up to 25g at a time on the mini.
@@KyleRowsell would you say they typically have good long term product support? Just got a Mini myself off of your recommendation haha (0 stalling thus far)
Great question. This mostly effects the way the beans are fed into the grind chamber and then subsequently how they are forced out. Unlike Conical burrs, when flat burrs are mounted horizontally there is little to no assist for gravity to remove retention. Vertical mounted flat burrs allow the coffee to utilize both the burr sweepers and gravity to remove the grounds from the chamber. They often use an auger system when vertically mounted which often (but not always) results in faster feeding. That being said Horizontal Flats have taken large leaps with grinders like the P64 with little to no retention in a more aestecially pleasing, quieter package.
Hey Kyle, I'm wondering why you'd recommend the Ode over the Lagom mini for filter, I thought you liked it more than the Ode? How would this compare to the Lagom mini?
It's great that these days more and more affordable grinders pop up which are decent performing, especially for people that are just getting into this world. Around that 300 price tag only option while ago was only basic Mignon for me, today there is couple of them to chose from. I would probably immediately swap those burrs with the gevi ones because I am into lightly roasted coffees. Btw my favorite roaster is by far Coffea Circulor, I would recommend trying their coffees if you have a chance. Kudos on the vid as usual!
I’ve had this grinder for a few months now and the biggest con I’ve found is “stepless” creep. Because the burr spins at a higher rpm, it tends to pull the grind size back unless I hold the dial in place. @KyleRowsell did you experience this, too? Were you able to combat that problem in any way?
@@KyleRowsell It's got a bearing at the point where the burr casing and dial meet, I wonder if it just needs to be greased up. I'll do maintenance at some point!
The knob turns a big fat screw that pushes the burrs apart for courser grinds. Wrap a couple of wraps of white plumers Teflon tape around the threads. This will add smooth friction and keep it from turning.
@@KyleRowsell it’s good! I think it’s like the Specialita or the Orio but a smaller burr and less features. I wonder if I could get better brews with something like this and different burrs
The moment I bought my used Super jolly with 250€ there were no choices for a new espresso grinder(for this price range) except ascaso i2/i1 If I had to choose now, I would definitely try that cause I drink only espresso and I really like the looks(even if I care for the cup only)

Thanks Arian. Much appreciated. That’s always the big concern with budget grinders. Time will tell
When you review the SD40 can you please compare it to the Niche Zero? I want to see if it can make an old-school heavy bodied espresso (and pour-over) similar to the Niche...
@Kyle Rowsell thanks for the video, how is it compared to premium hand grinder like commandante or k-plus for esspresso?!
Looking forward to a showdown of all the sub-$500 grinders. Or at least it seems like everything should be compared to the Niche, as that's becoming the new TH-cam standard for coffee enthusiasts.
Hi Kyle, nice review! Would you say that the espresso style is comparable with the Niche ?
Not completely since they are different burr geometry’s. More similar to a eureka specialta with a less sweetness.
I wonder how this would fare against something like the Settte 270 in espresso quality.
is this the best (espresso + filter ) grinder in this price range ?, I'm looking forward to buying it
Big question Urbanic 080 vs DF64? Blind test?
Deciding between this with upgraded burrs, or a stock DF64P. Is the taste and clarity on the DF64 worth the extra expense? (I would be brewing on a flair pro 2)
I have the Urbanic 70 which I’ve added the ‘gevi’ burrs to and made ‘step less’. RPM are way too high to be a good grinder. Not sure but would guess the 80 is also high rpm? Nowhere near as nice as the Sette 270…but is quieter!

How does the pour-over compare to a baratza encore?
I've been thinking about getting the lagom mini. How would this compare to that grinder, should this be something I think about as well?
Thanks, great video. I'd like to see a comparison to a sette 30 or 270 please, when you have time.

Thanks for the review! Since it is visible in the background, how would you compare it to the DF64 as hybrid grinder for both espresso and filter?
Df64 is a better daily driver but it is more money. Df64 is also more money
Just what I need! Now I just gotta convince the wife I need it…
🙏🏼
Would you consider this a better buy than the sette 270!?
What if you tried to swap the burrs? Maybe to unimodal burrs?
looks like a modern rebadge of the Asian market shop grinders that are everywhere you go, outside of America -I had a Jericho, but they go by countless names. it wasn’t bad once I put a Guatemala burr set on it

Where’s our DF64 vs the Ode for filter video? 🤔😏😏😏😏😂
Both with SSP’s of course.
Curious what are the differences, if any, with the vertical mounted burrs as opposed to horizontal mounting?
Great question. This mostly effects the way the beans are fed into the grind chamber and then subsequently how they are forced out. Unlike Conical burrs, when flat burrs are mounted horizontally there is little to no assist for gravity to remove retention. Vertical mounted flat burrs allow the coffee to utilize both the burr sweepers and gravity to remove the grounds from the chamber. They often use an auger system when vertically mounted which often (but not always) results in faster feeding.
That being said Horizontal Flats have taken large leaps with grinders like the P64 with little to no retention in a more aestecially pleasing, quieter package.

i’ve been interested in this as i see so many 300 on aliexpress
They’re super popular in Asia
Gotta represent local and say top three: Monogram, Rosso, and Sought x Found
Legends 👀
It's great that these days more and more affordable grinders pop up which are decent performing, especially for people that are just getting into this world. Around that 300 price tag only option while ago was only basic Mignon for me, today there is couple of them to chose from. I would probably immediately swap those burrs with the gevi ones because I am into lightly roasted coffees.
Btw my favorite roaster is by far Coffea Circulor, I would recommend trying their coffees if you have a chance. Kudos on the vid as usual!
It’s so true. It’s a wonderful space to be as an industry! And thanks for watching
I see the grind chamber is huge. Could it fit a 64mm burr?
No it can’t
Can this get to french press grind?
I’ve had this grinder for a few months now and the biggest con I’ve found is “stepless” creep. Because the burr spins at a higher rpm, it tends to pull the grind size back unless I hold the dial in place.
@KyleRowsell did you experience this, too? Were you able to combat that problem in any way?
Hey! Mine never did experience this but I was looking out for it. Very strange!
@@KyleRowsell It's got a bearing at the point where the burr casing and dial meet, I wonder if it just needs to be greased up. I'll do maintenance at some point!
The knob turns a big fat screw that pushes the burrs apart for courser grinds. Wrap a couple of wraps of white plumers Teflon tape around the threads. This will add smooth friction and keep it from turning.
@@franksimms6311 that’s a great suggestion! I will absolutely give that a shot
@@franksimms6311 finally did this last week and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the solid suggestion!
Sir, please do a review on Wacaco hand grinder on your next video. 😁🤘🏼
Will do soon!
It’s more impressive when you get the 070s version, with titanium burrs, for $200 shipped to your door.
is there anything else under $300-400 that is better for espresso?
Hand grinder? Sette 30? Lagom mini? Other than that not really
this vs baratza sette 270 ?
I’m in the U.S., would u recommend the 110v or 220v, 080??
110 is mandatory
Man if $300 for a grinder is considered budget then I must be homeless 😅 it always shocks me just how expensive espresso gear costs.
Keep in mind Espresso grinders are typically above $500.
What sort of modifications would the fellow need for Espresso
Burrs, stemless adjustment ring, bellows. It's not worth it imo
@@KyleRowsell coolio, eagerly awaiting your single dose roundup looking at the best hybrid for filter and espresso with a filter bias
Hey, just assuming you are located in the US? I can’t find one in Canada of under $595
Buy from their website!
I should have thought of that…
I’m thinking that by the time you pay shipping and duty, you gotta be up to that $595 CAD. For that I can get a DF64…
Comparison to a sette 270 please 😉
Stay tuned!
I guess the odds are in favour of the Urbanic, if I asked to compare it to the Smart Grinder Pro 😂
Yep. Ha
This vs the eureka Mignon Notte? :)
I haven’t tested the Notte yet!
@@KyleRowsell it’s good! I think it’s like the Specialita or the Orio but a smaller burr and less features. I wonder if I could get better brews with something like this and different burrs
The moment I bought my used Super jolly with 250€ there were no choices for a new espresso grinder(for this price range) except ascaso i2/i1
If I had to choose now, I would definitely try that cause I drink only espresso and I really like the looks(even if I care for the cup only)
