Eureka Atom W & Libra Grinders Review!

[@CH-yp5by]

You are so lucky to have such a calming sounding voice, as for the Eureka grinders, love their taste profile for medium to dark roasts! Such quality grinders, they are a bit late in the grinder market for the new high clarity burrs with the black diamond burr range for 65m burrs, but if they made them for 55mm they would be better off since more people already own 55mm Mignons than their 65mm range.

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hey, thank you for the kind feedback! This means so much 🤍 They should consider that, we will try to emphasise on this point once we get in touch with them next time 💯☕️

[@ottawamountainman]

Thanks for all the great info. I’m using a stainless steel ECM « naked » basket/porta filter and I find that with the main fork (top fork) all the way down and the bottom fork adjusted properly for my porta filter thickness I’m still not getting a perfectly centered mountain of grinds - it is still slightly offset to the back. I’m using 18g of coffee and the consequence of this is that there’s always some grinds that end up on the rear lip of the top fork - accumulating there with every shot…. Making a bigger and bigger mess. Eureka needs to redesign this fork specifically for the North American market (where naked porta with 18-21g dosing is very common here).

I am experiencing the same issue, Do you have the W65 or the W75?

[@ottawamountainman]

W65. The easy solution is to cut back to 17 or 16 g but…. 18g is pretty much standard for any KZbin trained home barista ! 😂

[@DRFOX55]

@@ottawamountainman I have the W65 as well and I am having the same issue, just tried fitting the Lucca funnel but wouldn't fit.I have the ECM coming in a few days. I just wonder if it's only on the 65 and not the 75?

@@DRFOX55maybe too much static

[@khalednwilati]

I purchased the awesome w75 for home use. i destroyed these screws trying to adjust the portafilter holder. that's my only downside for the grinder otherwise it's accurate and it gets even better with the red speed burrs

[@mryoyo7741]

Man what are tightening with a drill ! Be careful 😅

I'm with her. I like my coffee to taste like coffee. Medium-dark roast, in terms of modern espresso. Say 48-52 agtron. Preferably a blend of Brazil, Guatemala and Ethiopia. Chocolate, caramel, toasted nuts and maybe some apple like acidity on the back end. Possible dates and figs if we are getting fancy, lol. Basically, I want my coffee to taste how an old school coffee house smelled but without that funky after taste that commodity coffee had in the 80s. Once again, you bring out the points in a video that others tend to ignore so thank you for that! As someone who enjoys a more traditional shot sometimes reviews are hard to wade through. As always, an enjoyable video. Thanks for all the hard work!

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hey, thank you so much for your kind words, it means so much to us! You have a nice taste in coffee. There is no such thing as bad roast (apart from Starbucks 🙃). We test and make our reviews in a way that we wish to watch and see. Glad to hear that it shows and you are enjoying them. We will keep it up! ☕️🤍

[@cesariolucas2]

Great video. The level of details mentioned are impressive. I own the W65 and didn't know about most of the things you mentioned 🎉❤

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hey there, thank you! Glad to hear that you have enjoyed it. The best is yet to come! 🤍☕️

[@734baggins]

Home user here. Got to my endgame setup this year. Libra and LMLM with brew by weight scale integration. This reduces my effort to buying great locally roasted beans and dialing in/tweaking grind whilst managing water chemistry. Could not be happier with the results. Highly recommend the Libra for performance and value. Thanks for the great video. It confirms my decision to not step all the way up to the Atom for my use case. Cheers!

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hey there, glad to hear that your are enjoying your setup, it sounds like a brease to use 🤍☕️💫

[@734baggins]

Yes. I’ve been pulling my own shots for decades and have landed on trying to have an easy to use, consistent workflow. A paper bottom filter and a metal screen top filter have reduced the cleaning workflow. And I hope will positively impact the longevity of the LMLM. We shall see! A tip to the libra owners suffering from the FH error… Snug the lower forks tight to the portafilter and crank the holding screw to ensure a continuing tight fit. Also, after you insert the portafilter, wait a couple of seconds before grinding. No more FH for me. Keep up the great work!

[@mryoyo7741]

I got the atom W75, amazing grinder for home set up.

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Agreed 🤍☕️

[@DRFOX55]

Any issues with grinds building up on the fork when you dial in 18g or more? Thanks !

Great review! I discovered your channel with the unboxing of the HG-1 grinder by Craig Lyn. I would love to see an in dept review of that one.

[@mryoyo7741]

however I finding issue with new PF from LM with the forks and swapping plastic double spout, any suggestions?

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Why not to keep it as bottomless? We will share feedback with Eureka maybe they might offer an upgraded fork 🤍☕️

[@Stallion3863]

I just got a linea micra and am debating whether the arom w 65 or 75… Does it make sense to go for the 75!?

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there! We did not try the 65, but probably makes more sense to get the 65 Libra, or 75 Atom. We will review the 65 Libra All Purpose soon, it you can wait it will be ready in 3 weeks ☕️🤍

[@mryoyo7741]

I got the w75 pair😊with micra works amazing, but the PF form Lm new one i am seeing some issue

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

@@mryoyo7741 Congratulations! We are close to thr R&D team at Eureka, we will make sure to share the feedback about the portafilter as a few friends noted issues with the spouted portafilters 🤍☕️

[@back_to_the_bike8820]

thank you for this video regarding the 65mm Libra, I can tell you that a Zero 65mm and a Single Pro 65mm should be released at the same time. Will these 3 grinders (including the Zero) accept the next Eureka specal burrs? Do you have this information? (For my part, I can hardly tell the difference between the Zero and the SD Pro, apart from the wooden cover and diamond wheels, I believe).

[@aaronsou4016]

any retention test for the atom W 75?

[@ourcoffeeshelter]

Hi there, those are grinders that are designed to be used with hoppers and continuous beans feeding. Retention will be around 2g to 4g, but you should definitely not consider them for single dose. For the morning dose, you could purge 3g and you should have full fresh coffee after that 🤍☕️

[@wakeawaken430]

"Full hopper home use" In today's episode, how to stale your specialty coffee beans!

[@734baggins]

@@wakeawaken430 I don’t single dose. I just try to keep enough beans in the hopper to handle my needs for a day. The rest stay in a vacuum container. There are also aftermarket single dose w/ bellows options.

[@wakeawaken430]

​@@734bagginsYou don't get any benefit by putting 50-70gr of beans in the hopper The choices are only two: - Full hopper 250gr+ for home grinders and 1kg+ for commercial grinders - Single dose

[@lenso010]

Someone told me that the Mignon Libra model spreads coffee grounds all over the counter.

[@734baggins]

@@lenso010 I do not have this problem.

[@lenso010]

@ so it is very clean?

[@734baggins]

Yes. I clean after every pound of coffee using pura grinder cleaning tablets. The Libra also has some static reduction which helps.

[@lenso010]

@ I didn’t know this. But counter top is always clean and no ground right? I have mignon crono and it makes mess the white counter top, I want to upgrade go something very clean.
