Excellent review! I just recently bought a Profitec Pro 600 and bought one of these Eureka Oro Single dose. This video was key in giving me the confidence to try it. Mine is the black color and it is very beautiful in person. It has been working great for me so far. The issues of some of the earlier runs are not in mine. I see no vibration issues. Seems quiet to me. Quieter than my over built Kitchen Aid Pro which was quieter than the Braun before it. This espresso kit has been a blast!

All I have is the Single Dose hopper they make for Specialita and Friends and I can confirm it also has a smoothly polished flap, that fits well. Huge upgrade in feel from the plastic one on the stock hopper. To bad it doesn't come with the wood lid of the Oro, gonna have to make one. Getting a tilt stand too so my Franken-Oro will soon be fully armed and operational.

Just had a novel sized comment disappear as I was typing it, so I’ll assume it was the coffee gods telling me to get to the point. Bought the Oro SD after a lot of reading based on your review. I’m having a heck of a time dialing it in. I’ll start at a number a turn and a half out from zero (burrs chirp) it will gush. I’ll go a bit finer and finer until all of a sudden it chokes the espresso machine. If a back up again a small amount it will gush again. This time I will go back to the number that had it choked and low an behold it gushes. It’s almost like the burrs are loosening a bit? I’ll try taking the machine apart to make sure nothing is loose and checking alignment (with your excellent video for reference) but I am bit worried about losing my set point again. For reference with my Sette 270 I could usually dial in my grind within a couple shots even if I had changed it dramatically. (As note, I really like the Sette, but I wanted to delegate that to my SO’s morning Mocamaster cup. Seemed mean to have her using pre ground beans)

Hey, I just want to share here one extremely important discovery regarding fines that Oro produces when grinding courser for V60. Accidentally, I run on Home barista post of one guy that removed declumper from the chamber where coffee goes out into the funnel. And I did the same thing - removed it. And I couldn't believe result! All fines GONE when grinding for V60. I wanted to emphasize this here on your review since I tried all things that you mentioned, burrs leveling, spring tightning etc. but there were maybe minor improvements with that stuff. And then this, just remove the declumper and fines are gone.

not surprised by Eureka's probablemtic quality control. 2 year ago when I bought a Eureka silencio it would not even start. Then I returned it and got a rocket fausino (which is also made by Eureka) the machine has very bad touch control and would often have beans stuck in the hopper. I am keeping it because no niche was in stock at that time but it is the biggest regret I have in my espresso setup.

Good question. I did try, and found the hopper fit loosely in the Spet, and the gasket under the lid looked different too. It kinda worked, but not as well as on the SD. I don't think the air seals properly. If you want to get creative, a couple of large rubber washers might prove useful :)

Your initial review of the single dose actually was the clincher in me looking away from it and ordering a Niche. Even with this update in mind I still dont regret ordering a Niche as the adjustment dial is significantly more intuitive on the Niche, as I want to do espresso and filter with the same grinder. Going round and round with this dial still doesnt appeal to me.

I think Niche Zero is a better grinder even after the fixes, the Eureka burrs are not high clarity as some flat burrs are, so you're not missing out on much. The only advantage of the Oro SD is that it grinds faster, but not a big deal for home use.
@wiredgourmet

Good choice. The Zero wins hands down on ease of use, and makes fine espresso. I'm very pleased with mine. The Eureka is more fiddly and takes patience and skill to dial in -- and you have to remember where you parked it, which I complained about in my first Specialita review. A simple rotation counter would be welcome. Still, I really like it, too. Makes vastly better pourover than the Niche. Anyway, do enjoy it :)

Thanks for these amazing videos, Thomas! Judging by my rough hopper gate, chute, and non-fitting lid I probably have an earlier batch (even though only purchased in May). I suppose I could fix those myself. However, I'm not sure about vibration. It does vibrate noticeably, but it's my first grinder so I don't have much comparison to tell if this is normal or might cause problems down the line. Do you know what they fixed to improve vibration? Maybe I could try to improve it myself. I've seen your previous video with the firm rubber paddings. But I guess that's not what Eureka did in the newer batch? Regards

The main problem I see is with the mechanism for dialing in the grind. From what I understand, I’d have to rotate the dial 360º one or more times to switch from pour-over to espresso. So if more than one person is using the grinder, that can get confusing, not knowing what the actual setting is. I really like the grind setting mechanism on the Ceado E37SD but that grinder is overkill for my needs - too big and too expensive.

I've come to the conclusion that the grinder is broken, and has been since the beginning. I discovered small bits aluminum in the coffee grounds. When disassembling the machine, I could see that one of the bits responsible for the zero retention is touching the side of the grinder, effectively shaving off pieces of metal.. So the motor shaft or the plate that the burr is attached to is off its angle.. Don't know what to do about it, since neither the reseller nor eureka is getting back to me.

Great video!! Just got my Oro a week ago and do really like it however, I’m having trouble with the shoot blocking when grinding for V60. Have you had any issues? If I only use the bellows at the end of a grind the shoot at the clump crusher blocks. I find that if I use the bellows as soon as the coffee drops from the hopper I don’t get blockages but do get grinds everywhere. I’ve contacted Eureka about using the shoot from the XL as I’ve seen in another YT video but after an initial interest they have stopped responding to my questions. Very frustrating as its a great but seriously flawed machine if it constantly blocks.

They all do that; the grind chamber isn't exactly the same as the Oro ones and doesn't hold the air pressure from the bellows. All I can say is, make a habit of rocking it like that into the cup or pf, or put it on a tray or mat with a lip so the grit doesn't migrate all over the kitchen counter.

Firstly thank you for the detail you've gone into here. I hate to nitpick but I was mildly irritated that you used pliers to hold the hex bolt rather than a socket!
@wiredgourmet
@wiredgourmet 2 жыл бұрын
Ah, rules! You see, I'm trying to feel the contact surface, to judge its area, and a socket fits too loosely. Vise grips, adjusted by an experienced hand, give sensitive tactile feedback without lash. As you can plainly see, there are no marks on the nut. Sockets are of course safer for inexperienced hands. Thus apprentices are scolded for using pliers. Masters, not so much :) That said, I would never tighten or loosen the nut itself with pliers. I am simply rotating the burr carrier, after all.

@@wiredgourmet seeing as it was fairly early on in the video and I've not seen your work previously I winced but watching through it made little sense, not having a socket but having vernier calipers and runout gauges! I've learnt something here and I stand corrected, thank you for the reply!

JUNE 2024 - STILL WAY TOO MUCH VIBRATION. I purchased this grinder new in Australia. I had read all about the first batch's vibration issues, and that they'd been resolved. Sadly, these ORO Single Dose units still have 3-4 times the vibration of Eureka's upright grinders, even vs the XL with same 65mm burr set. I was shocked and disappointed, so I drove to the distributor to compare the Eureka range. The vibrations on their display Single Dose were almost as bad as the one shipped to me. I believe it is a fundamental flaw with the 15 degree tilt of the motor.

Eureka appears to consistently releasing products with problems. I had purchased a Eureka Helios 80 that had a de-clumper problem. I suffered with the machine for a solid 4 months before I started making an issue out of it. The de-clumper at the shoot is made of this material that is akin to candy floss. Its so feeble/weak that it bends upwards and out of the way - rendering you with no de-clumper. My beans were coming out in slabs! You can see this on my youtube. The local Eureka agent kept saying it needs time to season, or to use a needle-distributor. I finally pulled apart the machine and found that the clumper had bent upwards and out of the way. Nothing in the chute mouth to de-clump. Showed this to the agent who then emailed Eureka in Italy who admitted they were aware of this fault. Then why didn't they issue recall? Wheres good corporate behavior? Why didn't they announce it on their website and/or tell agents to contact customers. Anyways, they then said "a fix" will be out soon. I waited two months before giving up on their, consistently, poor corporate honesty. I returned it. I now see the same issue with the Oro. Whats happening with Eureka? Are they not testing production units? Or are they partnering with below-par manufacturers who change specification after Eureka tests production units? Whatever it is, shame on Eureka for putting out sub-par products and not being transparent about it. They never ever reached out to me.
