Ok, I’ve had this grinder for about 6 months now. I’m really struggling to get a good cup at the coarse end of things. It’s producing a lot of fines when I grind coarse. When I sift out with my 800mu sifter, with 55 grams of ground coffee, I’m losing between 5-10 grams. Is that normal? With my Moccamaster, trying out multiple recipes, my coffee is usually extremely bitter, even when I use a lighter roast. I bought this from you guys based upon this video’s recommendation, and I can’t say I’m happy so far. I’ve had better luck with my OXO burr grinder. It could be a learning curve thing too, but I’d appreciate some guidance. I’m sure it’s great for espresso, and I bought it believing it was an all purpose grinder, but now I’m thinking I should have just gotten a Fellow Ode or something and then bought a dedicated espresso grinder when I’m able to get an espresso machine again. Help.
About the scale on 3:34. Where do you get the boundary conditions 0=196um and 9=899um? I measured free stroke of the rod. The delta[0:9] is equal to ~570um.
Hi there. I performed grind size particle analysis testing with the dial on the Life set at each number. The particle sizes shown in the chart at each grinding increment were the averages found at each setting. --BRYAN
This seems like a great option for households that are making espresso and aeropress back to back. Why isnt there more talk about this grinder compared to DF64, niche, or Eureka to name a few?
Cause it costs 650 euros probably, with only 50mm flat burrs which are particularly small. I can't think of a grinder with such small burrs. Ceado. At the price you can get DF64V with adjustable speed, 64mm burrs (with many aftermarket options) and many other perks. Most people either single dose or use hopper so the interchangeability feature isn't too attractive. Plus it's a new grinder I am sure it will gain some traction eventually.
Thanks for sharing. I've watched most of your videos concerning grinders and it leads me to consider seriously a Ceado grinder (quality of construction, silence of use etc...). However, I would be interested to know if the Life by Ceado affords the same (or equivalent) quality than the E6P or E37J, except burrs size of course.
Hi there. There is no question that Ceado knows how to make a great grinder. The E6P and E37J both have, as you stated, larger burr sets and were at their core designed more for commercial use. The Life grinder was specifically designed for home use, and they did a wonderful job taking their commercial know-how and paring it down a little. While the burr set is smaller, the Life's rear-mounted, non-screw through burrs grind incredibly efficiently for their size thanks to the uninterrupted grinding surface. I feel like the Life achieves the same quality as those more commercial-grade grinders, with the Life only falling behind in the fields of burr size and the use of plastic in the housing, but I see no reason why it wouldn't still last for years to come. --BRYAN
@@Wholelattelovepage Thanks for your answer. I think this grinder could be a good companion for an ECM Classika or a Profitec 400 (my choice is not made yet🙂)
Hi d4rk, The Ceado Life is an excellent choice for multi-purpose grinding if that's what you're after. Flexibility to do hopper fed or single dosing is nice. I prefer the Ceado's flat burrs to the conical burrs in the Niche. Hope that helps!

That grinder looks promising however did you try to disassemble one and look inside? Need to know from which material gears are made
great video brian, i like your moustache too
I wish more companies would use blind burrs/ burrs with the screws on the back not the face.

I only do pour over coffee. How does this compare to fellow ode Gen 2? For my purposes?
Thats cute. Hope Lance will review it.
second this. For a grinder worth a purchase, it kinda needs Burr-Mans seal of approval. Kinda worried that espresso range here seems a bit shallow.
Lance will not. He explained to me that Ceado is not worth reviewing because of demand and no progress with technology.

This is pretty exciting stuff!
