hi good video! you made me buy it and I don't regret it! it is so powerful and quiet! it is crazy how it feels...my brain was not even processing it...it's so quiet!....you were right.... I love it now!
Very comprehensive review and to the point and hits the most important aspects, thanks a lot! You addressed grind adjustment, range, timer set up, retention, loudness, grind distribution, and more! One question: how stable is the grind adjustment, ie does it shift at all over time ? I own the Baratza Vario and I believe the burrs do shift which makes it frustrating to dial in espresso.
Glad you enjoyed it! No I wouldn't say it has shifted at all through using it.. it did however shift when I removed the burrs and cleaned out the burr chamber ... the Zero point was no longer the same ... still looking in to why this was the case
Should basically be the same thing. Except no timer, small 'blow up' hopper and a dosing cup! also some wood accents to compete with the Niche Zero :p The good news is, it's slightly cheaper than the XL. I guess due to less electronics? I hope it comes with the Portafilter forks though as an option.
Me acaba de llegar, lo estoy programando, estoy entretenido. Es Silencioso y bastante rápido. Lo que note es que no entra en reposo después de un tiempo de terminado su uso. Hay que desconectarlo. O yo estoy haciendo algo mal?
Purchased this grinder and in your video there seems to be zero mess when grinding 18 g. On mine i definitely get grounds all over the place near the end of the grind. I’m also targeting 18g for my double basket.
Thanks for sharing - it'll depend on the beans you're using - grind size etc - though I am surprised it sounds like you're having more of an issue than just different settings. Is it still the right grind size and all for you? as in you're able to brew coffee with it no worries?
@@AlternativeBrewing yes, brewing is perfect. 18g in, 30 grams out in 30 seconds. Happy with taste and quality, just wondering why I’m getting the mess. Maybe burrs need time to season? For now I’m just stopping the grind before the last 2 seconds to redistribute and this seems like a good workaround.
Hello ! Thank you so much for this video. I just bought one, with the single dose hopper/blow up system in addition, and I am not happy with the regularity (nor with the mess created by the blow up) On classic use, I am 0,2gr regular so perfect. On single dosing, more 0,4gr, after blowing... Sometimes better but really not regular. But I think I understood that needs some times to be seasoned before being nice single dosing ? I am French so I missed the important word in this specific sentence 😅 Thank you in advance for your feedback !
Could you please explain the grind sizes in the video. 0.3? 1.0? What is that? Is that the numbers on the adjust wheel or is it turns on the wheel? Or microns?
It is a Home Grinder more than commercial. It would happily do 50 - 100... but 300 would be pushing it. Eureka has other grinders in their lineup better suited to Commercial environments
Beautiful machine, unfortunately it's priced out of my means. I've got my eye on the Silenzio's little sister the Facile. Then I'd like to upgrade it to single dose.
December is the window of delivery. TBH though, looking back at the past 12 months and knowing how shipping ETAs have been wildly inaccurate - I would open that window up to early to mid Jan 2022.
Yes you can! You'll need some thin nosed pliers - and let the the grinder cool down a little. Adding a small amount of lubricant may help shift them out too

Picked up mine today, and just loving it, over my Breville Smart Grinder Pro
I'm looking at this same upgrade from my Breville SGP as well.
Single shot bellows are now from suppliers available via Etsy.
When main power switch is on, does the display stay on all the time or is there a kind of standby mode?

Great video! looking forward to the single-dose version! Please do a video as soon as you have your hand on one. Thanks
Will do!

I'm planning on getting this grinder

@@josemandojana6637 did it ever get better? I have the same issue.
Wonderful video fun and informative, beautiful grinder. Nicely done, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it

hahaha! Yes, the grinder most certainly will calm down once seasoned in.
Oui, le grinder se calmera très certainement une fois assaisonné.
beautiful grinder :D
It sure is!
I can’t decide if to get this or the mignon libra - any thoughts or advice? 99% of my drinks are double espressos. Thanks 🙏🏻
Ohh I do like the Libra - for dosing 👌 Built-in scales is where the future is at.
Are you prefer this grinder for small business?
No, this is better suited for a home
Could you please explain the grind sizes in the video. 0.3? 1.0? What is that? Is that the numbers on the adjust wheel or is it turns on the wheel? Or microns?
This is the numbers on the dial.
@@AlternativeBrewing ok which one you think is good for espresso?
I would like to know too… I’m quite Lost
Hi, great Review! Does the Portafilterholder work with bottomless Portafilters? Will they be stable also with a funnel while grinding? Thank you
Yes it will - you'd need to adjust the forks in order to keep it nice and secure
Does this grind by weight or not I noticed you said I needed a scale that defeats the purpose of buying this type of unit doesn't it
It does not no. You want the Eureka Libra 👌
Does this grinder have the same burrs with eureka zenith 65?
Can you use this grinder for making 300+ coffees Per day? Or it is for home better ?
It is a Home Grinder more than commercial. It would happily do 50 - 100... but 300 would be pushing it. Eureka has other grinders in their lineup better suited to Commercial environments
good overview, thank you
Glad it helped
Thanks for your video, how much does the grinder cost?

Beautiful machine, unfortunately it's priced out of my means. I've got my eye on the Silenzio's little sister the Facile. Then I'd like to upgrade it to single dose.
Really good video! Do you know when you will start selling the new Eureka single dose grinder?
Thank you ! Not yet. Keeping a close eye on it though
I heard the single dose is delayed, is there any ETA when the Oro single dose will be in stock?
December is the window of delivery. TBH though, looking back at the past 12 months and knowing how shipping ETAs have been wildly inaccurate - I would open that window up to early to mid Jan 2022.
Hi, can we take out the lower burr of the grinder? I tried to do it, but fail.
Yes you can! You'll need some thin nosed pliers - and let the the grinder cool down a little. Adding a small amount of lubricant may help shift them out too
Is the XL also ok for grinding the occasional pour over ?
Yes I would say it's good for that.
Is the Eureka bellows compatible
Yes it is
Posibilidad de venta a Chile
por supuesta!
It's 65 grinder burs! Not 45 🤣
