DrForinor As far as the workflow goes I understand nothing beats the Niche. Though knowing what I’m like, I think I would prefer a cup profile from a flat burr set.
But I want an easy workflow, Lagom P-64? Ceado E37SD? Is the Ceado worth it?
I have a DF83, and just love it. I’ve never used the Niche, but I can’t imagine that the workflow is so much better than what I do with my DF83 that it would be a meaningful difference.
I generally am grinding 18.5-19.0 g of beans. Here’s my workflow.
- Weigh out the beans in the collection cup.
- Take the lid off the bellows, put the beans in the grinder through the bellows, and put the lid back on. Put the cup in the holder.
- Turn the power on. Grinding takes about 5 seconds before the output starts to slow down.
- As the output slows down, I’ll push on the bellows until nothing comes out anymore. This is another 5 seconds or so.
- Transfer the ground coffee to my 9Barista, make espresso, and enjoy.
Doing this, the retention is negligible. I generally get out what I put in, and if I’m off, it’s by 0.1g. In my hands, that’s less than a single bean.
