(GPGT)Espresso machine hoot

[CTBR]

That Anfim Super Caimano Grinder somebody is selling on carousell with their Vibiemme espresso machine seems pretty good as well.

Think it was under high use in a cafe environment.

Wondering why he needs 4 grinders.
Think he bought it overseas with no local support anyway.

Anyway it looks like such espresso wares have very strong resale value.

By the way. My rok grinder was in yesterday. But too busy with house moving. Haven't even open up the box.

Hope I got time to unbox it and share some thoughts.

Coz nobody actually uses them to make coffee. They're just a conversation piece for visitors.
3-in-1 coffee FTW

ROK grinder

My ROK grinder finally arrived after a 3 months delay from the ETA. Overall i would give it 7.5/10. The grinder is capable of grinding very fine with minimal fines. It has infinite setting on the burrs as well. Took me about 30-40 sec for a 17g dose of coffee beans.

The only draw back I feel is the aluminium cup that is suppose to hold the grounds. There's quite a bit of static on it and the grounds always clump up together and it's always a mess after I transfer them to the filter basket.

It fulfils its duty as a grinder but user friendly wise not as great as I would have expected.

How much did you spend for the grinder and the shipping? And would you recommend it for someone who switches back and forth between espresso and drip?

I bought the Super early perk so it was the cheapest price. Around 200 SGD in all. Yup, i would highly recommend it. You just have to turn back to the dial number when you want to switch between espresso and drip. Takes less than 5 seconds to switch.

True story bro. No offense to starbucks lovers, sometimes even the 3 in 1 instant coffee taste better than starbucks.

don't talk c0ck about 3in1

How fast or easy to grind a double shot?
For $200, does it perform as well as some grinder priced at $400 or better?

About 40 to 50 seconds to grind a double shot. Fairly easy to rotate the handle. I can't compare because I have not own a $400 grinder before, but all I can say is the grounds are pretty consistent and there are relatively little fines.

I'm not confident to DIY yet haha.

If you haven't already done it, a little RDT does wonders for static. It's almost a must for hand grinders I feel.
