Hi Marc. I’m in the process of setting up my first Espresso purchases and am struggling to pick a grinder. I currently brew with a drip or French press utilizing a Baratza Virtuoso that has worked well for those methods. So…..do I buy a grinder to serve all my needs (Life X, Libre AP) or buy a grinder to work alongside the Virtuoso (Twist, Magnifica, Specialita, something else). I’m preordering a Move and would be willing to spend up to Libre AP pricing ( if it makes sense) if it can grind espresso substantially better than other options. I would by a single dosing Zero but need the ability to dose timed or weighted grinding to keep everyone happy, so plus one to the Life X. I feel that grind retention is big on my list of important factors as well. How would one of the Eureka grinders with the single dosing kit compare to the Life X? When comparing the Twist vs the Life X are there any benefits in grind quality to either? Something in the back of my mind is telling me that there is a downside to 50mm in the Life X ……. I know that was a lot, please help! TY

Nice grinder. Does Ecm use in-house burrs or do they outsource them?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi tp, ECM outsources burrs.

I would buy this over the migniom but would buy the ceado e5 over this..

Hi gigi, thanks for sharing your preference! Marc

All the more reason to buy a grind by weight....

[@Wholelattelovepage]

I do like grind by weight grinders! They tend to be more $$ but do simplify the process and make consistency easier! Marc

This is way too complicated. There should only be three things: mechanical grind adjustment, the power switch and portafilter activated switch. That’s it. No modes, no timers, no touchscreen, nothing

Hi ns, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sounds like you'd prefer the ECM S-Manual 64: www.wholelattelove.com/products/ecm-s-manuale-64-espresso-grinder-heritage-line?variant=40599679238198 Or Profitec Pro M-54: www.wholelattelove.com/collections/espresso-grinders/products/profitec-pro-m54-coffee-grinder Marc

@@Wholelattelovepage Actually, I bought the Eureka Mignon Silenzio from you, guys. I am using it for drip coffee and it has been great so far. Thinking about an espresso set up, which will probably require a separate grinder. The Eureka is great, but not practically adjustable back and forth between drip and espresso.
