The New Mahlkönig EK Omnia Grinder - A Digital Version of the Classic Grinder! (Only 10 in the UK!)

[@ChrisLivsey-dn6rz]

Looking at the "short" you posted there seems to be lot of static attracted to the outer delivery pipe, is that an accumulation or on each grind I wonder? If using single dose loading why not use the water spritz to reduce that, and how is that inner delivery tube working to reduce this, or is it not? All questions for the upcoming review post I hope despite this being out of my price bracket by a about a factor of 10 🤣 It would also be interesting to look at the accuracy and precision of that displayed grind size, does the burr come zeroed, I presume so, but then is it resettable I wonder and is that actual size really relevant, it looks good but could equally a number on a scale of 1-1000.

There does seem to be a static build up though less than my standard EK. To be honest in a commercial environment I personally would deal with the static and not worry about spritzing the beans. I have a feeling it might all settle down a bit once the unit has been used for a while. The burr can be reset. We manually adjust to touching and then recalibrate. This will need to be done periodically as the burrs wear. From a commercial point of view I’d love one at the Roastery as we typically move between 11 or 12 coffees at any one time, so the library mode would be very useful. Would I buy one for home use - no!

With luck the library mode will trickle down to domestic machines. For many years than I care to remember I have used an Iberital grinder which was marketed to small commercial use as a second decaf or small volume grinder, domestic grinder I have looked at seem to much like a play toy so I'm always interested in the commercial lines. Checked the plate and it was bought new in 2006 😱 and the parts are still available, I just replaced the delivery chute which had cracked, usable still but cosmetically annoying. Maybe I have had my money back?

@ChrisLivsey-dn6rz not bad if you’ve been running the same grinder for 18yrs. Ever changed the burrs?

[@ChrisLivsey-dn6rz]

No, not yet 😇 It's hard to find figures for none commercial machines but commercial seem to show, as I would expect, larger burrs last longer say 1,500Kg, 1,000Kg for smaller burrs. I use around 1 to 1.5 Kg a month so 12 to 18 Kg a year, a max of around 300Kg through. I've seen 500Kg quoted for smaller "domestic" machines, 38mm, I think though that the bearings etc would probably need attention by then as well so retirement after a life well lived? @@carvetiicoffee

Great video! Thank you 🙏

[@gamermoo6380]

i already bought it from home use and it cant grind coffee for espresso i think it was mean to be for filter coffee , i adjusted the burr to touching and am grinding just 1 click after that sound and still its not fine enough lol !

[@joannismess]

I’m interested in buying this grinder for home use to. It’s surprising to read that it can’t grind coffee for espresso. Did you find a solution. Thank you

[@gamermoo6380]

@@joannismess if u r into 1:2 espresso ratio then it might be fine but am into long extractions and 1:1 or 1:1.5 and the omnia didnt really work for me i have return it and got my self E65DW grind by weight

[@joannismess]

Did it performed well in library mode? I’m interested in filter& espresso switching from one to another

[@olivier97120]

You have to change your burr for the Turkish one. Like on the ek43 T stand for Turkish burr made for espresso

[@gamermoo6380]

@@joannismess for filter i think it will be amazing , for espresso read my previous comment

[@stanvanillo9831]

Did you only look at it or did you also use it? Sorry, but this review is completely useless and feels more like an ad than anything else.

[@joanyadhatan]

if you look at the time since its inception and divide the development potential by the years, you can't look at the new EK as anything other than a pathetic piece of shit... thanks for the video by the way ❤

[@joanyadhatan]

I wouldn't be surprised if we could take it right out of the box to the local alignment adjuster guru
