i just bought this piece of garbage on ebay 180 and the settings from 1-8 just give coarse grinds. what a piece of shit it should have been set in the factory and never have to be adjusted it is going in the trash.
I've been using a Breville for over a year and it finally konked out. I just got this KitchenAid KES100 and it's WAY better.. although it doesn't quite get as fine of a grind as I'd prefer . I'm considering trying to shim the burrs to see if I can get a bit finer. It's not quiet, but this video makes it seem louder than it really is. It's half as loud as the Breville... which would wake the entire house in the morning when I was grinding beans. VERY consistent grind from the KES100 as well.
@guyNbluejeans Green beans last for 15 months,roasted coffee for 15 days(best 3-15 days from roast) and ground coffee is good for less than 15 min and then it goes stale. You can take coffee beans at the supermarket and grind them there but most coffee already ground in the bag is only usable for drip coffee and if you want french press or moka pot then it really isn't the right grind.
So you can tell a big difference in taste when grinding the beans-up at home and making coffee right away versus the stuff already ground at the store ... ?
I have a simple Hamilton Beach drip coffee maker that's good for my modest needs, but wonder if getting one of these expensive grinders would result in a far superior cup of coffee.
I am not familiar with French press or Moka, just drip coffee and the paper strainers that go with it.
@guyNbluejeans Yeah and I find a big difference between quality burr grinder vs cheap one and of course the garbage blade grinder. I also find a lot of difference if you don't keep the beans in airtight container at a dark place at house temperature and use it between 3-15 days after roasting.

I love homemade coffee, but my machine lay dormant until coffeeloverstipsandtricks (.) com plugged me in!

I'm thinking about getting one of these but wonder if fresh-ground coffee actually tastes that much better than store-bought that's already ground?
Thanks for your time and for posting this vid!
