What people like
This accessory is highly regarded for its ability to enhance the grinding experience, particularly for single-dosing, and helps streamline the espresso workflow. Many users appreciate its reduced height, which makes the grinder more versatile in various settings. A key feature often highlighted is the spring-loaded gate, which contributes to a more efficient and cleaner operation. While generally well-received, some users have noted concerns regarding the fit and potential for noise.
Pros
- Single dosing simplified: Makes single-dosing coffee much easier and faster.
- Streamlined workflow: Greatly improves the efficiency of coffee preparation, especially for espresso.
- Compact size: Reduces the overall height of the grinder, beneficial for space-constrained environments or shorter baristas.
- Spring-loaded gate: Features an automatically closing and locking gate for quick and clean operation.
- Aesthetically pleasing: Many users find that it looks great on the grinder.
Cons
- Loose connection/noisy: Some users have reported a loose connection to the grinder body which can lead to vibration and noise.
- Not for bulk grinding: Its capacity is too small (typically 200-250g) for high-volume or bulk coffee grinding.
- Older model compatibility: Older EK43 grinders may require shimming to ensure a proper and secure fit.
- Not quick-swappable: It replaces the existing hopper, making it less convenient for quick changes compared to bayonet-style hoppers.
