  • Initial thoughts and such after owning the Urbanic 070s, a top finisher from Lance Hedricks' budget grinder showdown, for a few weeks. Once it's fully hacked, I'll follow up with a comparison to my Sette 270, flat burr vs. conical burr.

    Just purchased this exact model. You mentioned that you purchased the bellows, and I was wondering if you've noticed if it helps to cut down on the grind retention or not. Thank you for your review! It was very helpful and informative! Happy coffee drinking!

      Yes! The grounds collect in many different places inside, without the bellows. I do think using the bellows with anything other than the stock dosing cup would be VERY messy.

    Rich, Thanks for this video! I too am looking at the 070s after watching the Lance video. (In addition to some other videos I've seen as well.) I'm curious how this grinder compares to your sette, in terms of flavor? (And are you still working on that follow-up video?) Also, do you have a photo of the bellows on the 70s that you can share? I'm curious about the way it looks on there.
    Are you liking the dosing cup you picked up? And could you link that and your hopper as well?
    This video seems to be the only one that I can find of a 'regular' person's experience with the grinder. So thanks again for posting it, and the tips.

      Thanks, Man! I need to do a follow up; I've been slack. I had the Sette at my girlfriend's house for a while, as I got used to the 070s, so I couldn't do a side-by-side test, and now that I have both back, I'm in the middle of a bag I don't like very much, so I won't bother until I get a bag I like better.
      I will say, with this very dark roast I have right now, the Urbanic retains a lot more and I don't *think* I like the taste as much, but it's hard to know for sure without tasting both together. I think it will shine with a medium roast.
      I don't think I can share a picture on here, but on AliExpress, the bellows come up if you search for Xeoleo coffee grinder blow hopper (LOL). The dosing cup is kind of pedestrian.
      Holy cow. I definitely have enough to say, for another video.

      @@spike443 Thanks Rich! I ended up pulling the trigger and getting the Urbanic. It's pretty good! I'm enjoying it. I don't know how it really compares to anything else, but I'm pretty happy with it at this point. Thanks again.

      Beats having an irregular person sharing their experience :)

    Have you done the side-by-side yet? Looking forward to the results

    Thanks for this. Are those the stainless steel burrs? If so, why did you choose this over the titanium coated?

    • @mrnice752
      @mrnice752 ปีที่แล้ว

      On such a cheap grinder the motor will probably die before the burrs wear out. I'd save the money too.

    How did you put 3 layers of teflon tape on it ? When i put it getting stuck and not smooth. I put one layer now

    • @spike443
      @spike443  ปีที่แล้ว

      They may have changed manufacturer, or maybe they don't have great tolerances, on these parts.

    Do the Urbanics 070s come pre aligned or do i have to align it myself

    • @spike443
      @spike443  ปีที่แล้ว

      Definitely check the alignment on any flat burr grinder under $1k.
