Eureka Atom w75 Review

[@firstactionhero]

Your kitchen looks great. I'm redesigning my kitchen and probably going to remodel in late 2025/early 2026. I like the space between your counter top and cabinets

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@firstactionhero thanks yeah the backsplash is nice very modern rustic looking. I can send you the link to the stone if you want

[@NewCitzn]

Thanks for the review. I’m sure this is the grinder I’m going to buy. I was wondering how you got an octagonal hopper? All the ones I see for sale at this time are round, which is okay, but I do like the octagonal one a bit better. (Hoping they come out with an optional glass one, which I would opt for in a heartbeat!).

[@SadatKR]

Awesome, definetly set on this grinder now with exact config as you. Got the stainless steel lelit bianca as well lol. Thanks for the review.

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@SadatKR yeah it’s a pretty amazing set up not gonna lie

[@nicensleazy1892]

Joe - thinking about pulling the trigger on this. It will be purely for home use. Do you think it's worth the money?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@nicensleazy1892 yeah I love mine but if you don’t want to spend the money and want something pretty close you could scale back and get the libra

[@erik5024]

I also got the chrome w75 in June. Had to calibrate the scale, and have been really happy with it. My Mazzer Mini E was at ~12 seconds for my 19g dose, and loud. The w75 is at ~5.5 seconds, much quieter and the grounds are much fluffier with zero clumping. Only issue is that the it gradually updosed by about .4g pretty consistently, so I had to recalibrate. Now its within ~.1g again.

[@michaelmartin2436]

Joe, how did you get shiny chrome option?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@michaelmartin2436 ordered it that way so it matched the lelitw

[@michaelmartin2436]

@@JoeyVaracalliok. I’ve been asking dealers like and they say it’s more matte brushed and that option isn’t available. Thanks for response!

[@whyckicki]

Nice review ! Have you had the chance to compare it to the Mahlkonig E65S Gbw ?

[@cesariolucas2]

Recently subscribed. Pretty cool channel you are running. Could you make a video testing the accuracy of the GBW functionality? Is it really consistently accurate to 0.1g?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

thanks yeah id love to run that test. I did some of my own testing and occasionally it will be off by .2 but thats the most I have seen and it generally happens when you put new beans in or when you make big changes to the grind size

[@richardwindsornomura]

I have the w65. Everytime I have tested it I have found it to be that accurate.

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@richardwindsornomura awesome glad others are getting a similar result

[@alexs.2069]

fast and perfect grind, can't argue there

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@alexs.2069 yeah the thing is An absolute animal I love it

[@pschtapufuta]

How does the Atom W-Series handle Vibrations on the Table or touching the Portalfilter while grinding? Does it simply stop and resume like the Fiorenzato allground sense?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@pschtapufuta it’s pauses then you hit resume

[@logangreene3751]

What size grind do you find best for espresso?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@logangreene3751 I like 16grams in and roughly 38 grams out in about 28 to 30 seconds

[@logangreene3751]

@ thanks! And on the dial what number do you think has the best consistency in your opinion for the espresso?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@ I really don’t have a great thing to say on that since the number is continuous and really doesn’t have much meaning especially considering they send the grinder at the courseest setting you will need to pass up 1 probably 2 times before getting to an espresso level

[@JoeyVaracalli]

Mine currently is set at 3ish but again it probably won’t help you

[@mjmjersey]

Hey Joe I took your advice and bought the eureka W series Adam grinder however I got this w65 and I'm having a terrible time The coffee is amazing it dialed in exactly it tastes like a cafe's espresso My problem is the coffee's going everywhere I'm wasting a lot of it it's going all over the place did you have this problem help help please

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@mjmjersey try to get a slim funnel and adjust the grinder so you can fit the portafilter and the funnel. Should do the trick.

[@billhendrix4125]

I think I am now down to going with either the 65 version of this or the regular Atom 75. I do lose the GBW, but bigger and much faster burrs. Just not sure of button model or the new touch version.

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@billhendrix4125 id rather have smaller burrs and grind by weight myself but if all you care about is speed then go with the 75. Touch is nice but if your getting a big price difference go with the buttons

[@billhendrix4125]

What is your daily grinder? Thoughts between these?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@ my daily grinder was the eureka libra then upgraded to atom w75

[@billhendrix4125]

@@JoeyVaracalli that’s a bit above my price range. Would you do w65 or atom 75?

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@ the Libra is cheaper than both of those but yeah I think the 65 is fine unless you really need the extra speed

[@808HasBeen]

Where did you order it? Everywhere I looked they only sell the black, white and brushed steel. Not the chrome.

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@808HasBeen I got it directly from eureka

[@808HasBeen]

@@JoeyVaracalli thank you! do you have a link? Or did you message them directly? Their site is kind of difficult to navigate because I couldn’t for the life of me find anywhere to make the purchase 😅

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@808HasBeen you unfortunately can’t purchase directly from them I got this direct as a reviewer

[@ironmantooltime]

You get a like for not using a bottomless pf in 2024 😎

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@ironmantooltime hey thanks. Honestly I like using one to dial in but it’s so messy iv kinda just got annoyed with it

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

Do you have to constantly recalibrate the weight each time you swap beans to beans? I reckon the density of different origins have different weight and sizes and so the machine will have to relearn everything from scratch. Also please adjust the volume of this video. It’s too low!

[@JoeyVaracalli]

@@3rd-Wave_Rebel ohhh sorry I stopped doing my own editing so I’ll let my editor know. But it generally does a pretty good job when swapping beans maybe it’ll be off by .2 grams that’s the worst I saw once the burrs broke in a bit. It gets thrown off the worst when you make big changes to the grind size

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

@@JoeyVaracalli Thanks! I bought the EX65… a month ago before they announced the GBW… I would’ve gotten the W if I hadn’t bought the EXcellence… Oh well… I’m learning to love it. Come to think of it the GBW is not ideal for single dosing since I don’t like leaving a pound of beans in the hopper. I got the blowup hopper from Eureka and it does a decent job of diminishing retention by 0.3 grams. Without the blowup, retention will be 2-3 grams!

[@richardwindsornomura]

I have the W65 and I have been swapping beans in and out.. .I have found no need to recalibrate. in fact I tested it out of the box and it was accurate to 0.1g without me having to do anything,

[@3rd-Wave_Rebel]

@@richardwindsornomura Cool to hear that. But you still have to leave a pound of beans in the hopper to use the GBW feature. I personally like doing single dosage. So I never leave my beans in the hopper. That’s why when I think about single dosing with GBW doesn’t make any sense.

[@richardwindsornomura]

@@3rd-Wave_Rebel actually you dont,,,, my w65 grinds accurately right down to the last 17g of beans. single dosing makes no sense with GBW as you have already done the weight bit before you start. I find beans do not degrade in quality from wittingin the hopper for 5-6 days so I put 5-6 days supply in the hopper (about 300g) once a week or so

[@Displays.1234.]

Grind by weight is definitely the way for machines to be, but the machine is too big....
