Allground Sense

MattH

So - this new version of the allground is about to launch.. I think one place in Aus has got it and posted a quick video on Youtube.

I found the manual on the US site : https://ep-shopify.s3.amazonaws.com/related-documents/fiorenzato/allground/allground-sense-manual.pdf

I have had the original allground for the last 8 months I think.. It probably not seen as fashionable as its a 64mm hopper style grinder :)

For me its worked perfectly… easy to clean - little retention - great workflow - and it grinds coffee ;)

On BaristaStore the uk distributor they are offering pre-order discounts on both the sense and the pro brew.

Having a read of the manual - its a nice enhancement to have the grind by weight - and still have the section of grinding demarked for moka and filter - both of which you can preset small / med / large doses.

I am tempted - also it seems they have updated the burrs to Dark-T to increase the lifespan (I assume this is a titanium coating of some sort).

I will update here if I go for it whilst its discounted.

Cheers

MattH Not familiar with this grinder, but I still have a penchant for hopper fed gear. When you say little retention, can you expand more matey?

Fashionable to me! I’m still a loyal fan of hopper fed OD grinders.

Definitely interested to see how well the GBW works.

I change coffee a lot more these days since starting roasting so the Philos is probably still the one on my shopping list but I like that someone is still servicing the home market with OD developments.

Well I on the whole just keep refilling the hopper as I change coffees - now and I again I will take the burr carrier out and give it a quick hoover.. theres normally just the usual dusting sat on the burrs in the grinder.. and the metal tube on the dispenser which is held in place by a magnet can be removed. This again has a the lightest dusting if anything sat as a residual. So it does seem to get rid of the coffee efficiently. Heres a vid I found on youtube when I was researching.

I am probably the least dedicated coffee brewer :) - but as my first proper grinder since moving up from the hand grinder I first bought - I have not complaints!

Heres the mini (very mini) review:

Also thinking about it GBW means it could also be a single doser if thats what you wanted as it would keep grinding til it hits the weight (or you stop it). When I was tinkering I discovered the Commandante C40 Jars fit perfectly as a replacement for the hopper if you wanted to grind a set dose.
