“First of all, the Silenzio is incredibly quiet. This was one of the top factors for me considering we have a baby on the way. If we have any hope of making coffee with a baby in a nearby room, this grinder is our best shot. I am super impressed with the noise suppression.
Second, it quality of grind is fantastic. It is quite consistent. However, it does lack automatic features found in other grinders. You are paying for high quality burrs and good construction and not features with this model. I measure out single does, and it has relatively little retention. So automatic grinds is irrelevant to me anyway. There is a timed grind feature but I haven't played with it. I just way how much to put in.
Overall, it is a fantastic grinder about a month in. I would totally buy this again if I had to start my search for a grinder over.”
“Grinder arrived quickly and very well package. There was a bit of coffee in it from testing at Cliff and Pebble, but after some cleanup I was ready to grind. The grinds are consistent and the grinder is very quiet. I am happy with my purchase.”
“The Silenzio is a beautifully designed machine. It has a small footprint, and in the black color, it has a sleek and clean look. The sound dampening works well, and though it is not quiet, it is not loud (which for a coffee grinder, is pretty good). It produces relatively fluffy grounds, but it is not super easy to get a good distribution directly from the machine. A dosing cup or WDT tool would help. Also, while it produced great grounds, it is not the easiest to dial-in with the very small grind-size wheel. I recommend it, as it is value for the price, but there are a few additional steps needed. P.S. It is not the best for single dosing, but the retention is not horrible...maybe 2g or so.”
