This weekend however I changed it to a very coarse setting to use in a french press as I had friends over and all 4 shots of espresso after that have been too coarse and flowed straight through in about 15 seconds. Watch out for a few rogue coffee grinds ending up on your work surface here if the container doesn’t fit snug. I haven’t cleaned the grinder much at all to be honest, in the four years I’ve had the grinder I’ve only cleaned it properly a few times. The Sage grinders are rare in that that they have a fairly decent adjustment, the steps are small, and it’s also very easy to make big adjustments for other brew methods and then go back to the exact setting you were at previously. It’s a great match for coffee lovers at any stage of their coffee journey, the simplicity of just the two dials helps beginners appreciate what they are actually doing to the coffee beans and the grind adjustment below the hopper will make ex-baristas feel at home.

Aside from the functionality of the Sage Smart Grinder Pro what’s really important os what’s under the hood. The Sage Smart Grinder™ Pro comes in sleek stainless steel, boasts a high-performing DC motor that provides 60 distinctive adjustments for all types of coffee, from espresso to drip coffee, and more. We only work with roasters who share the same ethos and ask you to get in touch if for any reason the recycling info isn't clear on a coffee bag. They're a zero-emission courier that uses all electric vans and plants a tree for every parcel — plus they have great tracking and control options for your deliveries.The coffee grinder comes with fittings for two different portafilter sizes as well as a container to collect the grinds if you are brewing anything other than espresso. The Sage range is an advanced, high-spec collection that's head and shoulders above the competition. Sage are expert at designing kitchen appliances with cleverly integrated functions to take the stress out of cooking. That being said, I am a drummer, and for many years I didn't wear earplugs when I really should have, and I'm a loud drummer, the guitarists in the bands I've been in have been just as loud, so my hearing isn't the greatest.

The Smart Grinder Pro also features a clear LCD screen that shows the current grind setting, time, as well as the number of shots. Anyway, love your videos and the fact that you don’t take yourself too seriously in the sometimes snobby world of coffee! I'd seen the Dose Control Pro from Sage, the slightly cheaper sibling of the Smart Grinder Pro, which was tempting, but I just really liked the look of the Smart Grinder Pro, and I'd seen that the power of the motor was slightly smaller on the Dose Control Pro (130W Vs 165W). I hear from people who drop their internal setting to 3 or even lower, one reader told me they'd taken it to 1.We recently bought some evergreen capsules to use in our KitchenAid Nespresso machine (I know this is probably coffee heresy) but am finding our little Bodum burr grinder cant grind fine enough for them.

I’ve had my smart grinder pro for over 2 years now, I grind a LOT of coffee with it, and it’s great, no electrical problems at all. It goes even further than this, especially for espresso, for example, you may find that you need to change your grind size when you come back to the machine a bit later in the day, just because of the change in humidity!Over the last couple of months the grind time for about 17g of coffee at grind size 6 to 10 has increased from about 12 seconds up to 22 seconds.

Committed to ethical practices and community engagement, we celebrate coffee traditions while embracing innovation for a world-class coffee culture. I think there have been a few issues with some models, but I’ve also heard that the Baratza support team are really good, to be fair. They are quick to get back to you and are really friendly :) I definitely recommend if you'd like to get some good quality coffee delivered at your doorstep. Whilst you can remove a worn impeller through the lower burr quite easily, a new one won’t fit through it and you have to do quite a substantial dismantling of the machine to remove the lower burr. It includes a clear and concise LCD screen which displays grind setting, grind time and the number of shots you have selected.Warranty: 2-year limited manufacturer's warranty (Please note: Sage products covered by this manufacturer's Guarantee are intended for private household (non-commercial) use only.
