Hey guys great vid. When producing vids like this would be cool to see you guys put in some graphs of grind distribution and some side by side visual comparisons of coffee grounds. Taste comparisons would be interesting too, such as a blind cupping using each grinder and the same coffee to see how they perform against each other. Thanks.

An excellent review and wish this was around when, six months ago, I purchased the Nano with stainless steel burrs as a travel grinder. I am very happy except that 15g is just short of the 18.5g I need for espresso, so it adds an additional refill and grind. With the benefit of this review I would now go for the slim with titanium burrs. That said Timemore is proving itself in the competitive coffee market which is more than I can say for other Chinese brands.

That's an excellent comparison, differentiating these Timemore grinders can be a bit of a pain! Just to note, I bought a Slim a few months ago, and it has the steel burrs, not coated with titanium, that's how it was advertised as well from the place I got it. I've been using it almost everyday for pourover, aeropress and moka pot, and am very happy with it. Super fast and the all metal construction gives me hope that this will last a very long time.

Those are really attractive, and both the checkered finish and the squared off shape look like they'd help a lot.

I know that steel is pretty tough, but people don't usually turn with even, well-aligned force.
@primacoffeeequipment3 жыл бұрын
What do you mean by interface? The top of the axle is a hex and the underside of the lid has what amounts to the head of a deeply recessed hex screw. Barring any damage to either, the Timemore grinders should crank on center for years to come.

@primacoffeeequipment2 жыл бұрын
The Timemore grinders, including the new Plus models, have a stepped grind adjustment system. Espresso is easier to dial in with a stepless grind adjustment system. It is entirely possible to use the Slim models for espresso; but you will not be able to make minute changes in grind size. As such, you will have to dial in by changing the grind and/or dosing up or down in the portafilter basket.

@veganpotterthevegan2 жыл бұрын
Titanium is a buzzword. Titanium has far worse edge holding ability than stainless. If they're grinding better than steel, it's because the titanium coated burrs have better tollerances/design before they're coated. The titanium won't hurt anything because it's so thin. But they're not actually helping you and the actual edge will wear down to the better steel underneath. *I love my titanium bicycle and camping cups, spoons and forks. But I don't want a titanium edge on anything meant to cut things that I want long term durability out of
