“Was very hesitant to spend so much money on a Chinese made Mahlkönig. Why not just add a few more dollars to the purchase price? I still bought it. This grinder is solid. Once you get the grinder set right, it's great. The process getting there took a ton of time and a lot of coffee. I wanted a grinder that could handle my Moccamaster, espresso, and maybe a cold brew. Still to be determined on the espresso, but the grinder is night & day vs my old Capresso burr grinder and dare I say its grinding noise is actually pleasant to listen to. Hoping for longevity, although somewhat concerned about the electronics. Static in the winter months IS a thing. Keep that brush handy. A little miffed Mahlkönig nixed the larger dosing cup with the black & white units which come with the shorter hopper. I have to use a glass to catch grounds for the Moccamaster. Grinding directly into the filter basket made a huge mess. Still happy I made the purchase though.”
“Its for 58 mm portafilter.
My breville touch is 54 mm filter.
So i use a breville funnel and put my filter att the bottom tray.
Then it is working really nice. Just as the funnel is high enough you will get no spill of coffee at all.
Other than this i think it is a great grinder. Its tall with 500 gr hopper so check the space. You can get a smaller hopper if needed.
It is not a problem with dose as the hopper gets low on beans.
Making small adjustments of grind size needs a bit of feel as its not much turning of the knob making these minor adjustments.
But the knob has the right resistance so its not to big of a problem
As you can change time in .1 Seconds its easier to make small dose adjustments rather then grind size when you need very small changes.
Nice feature to use app to store recepies for different beans.
After finding funnel to work im very happy with this grinder.
Trying handheld with 54mm filter is not a good idea so remember high funnel and put portafilter on the tray is the way to use it.”
“Das Mahlergebnis ist hervorragend. Auch für Espresso bekommt man auf den Stufen 1-3 ein gutes Mahlergebnis. Die Mühle ist sehr Leise und bietet mit den verschiedenen Timern gute Funktionen. Einen Stern Abzug gebe ich dennoch aus folgenden Gründen: Wenn man den Mahlgrad von Grob auf Fein stellen möchte, klemmt der Drehknopf, da scheinbar Bohnen im Weg sind. Hierfür muss ich kurz die Mühle starten um feiner drehen zu können. Ein weiterer Kritikpunkt: Ich wiege die Bohnen immer vorher ab. Bei feiner Mahlgradeinstellung dauert es sehrlange, bis die letzten 1-2 Gramm rauskommen.”
