Re: Advice for Inspecting Boema at Auction tomorrow
hehehe....you blokes are killing me.......
If a Mazzer SJ has 64 mm plates, and the Gino Rossi also has 64 mm plates....and the plates are more than likley all sourced from a company that specialises in making plates to sell to all grinder manufacturers (ie plates not Mazzer manufactured or GR manufactured).....and the profile of the two plate designs differs in the main, only to cater for the different direction of rotation between the two grinders.....how can the grind quality of the mazzer be any better than that of the GR....Or, how can the grind quality of the GR be any worse than that of the Mazzer.......or if that of the mazzer is better...can it be quantified and if so how, and if so is it significant?
And what about the under utilization these grinders are going to get at home....ie not using them to their full capacity....as in home use where they will never overheat and cook the grinds..... ie where their capacity (at home) is far in excess of their ability to perform.....how does this make a 64 mm GR grinder a lesser grinder than a 64 mm Mazzer in terms of grind quality...?
There will of course be some differences in the rest of the design and build of the the two models in toto, but grind quality per se...in home use?????????
Sheesh! The internet......a great source of information one day, and of misinformation the next!
I have both GRs and Mazzer SJs in my fleet. They both fare about the same in cafe use dependent on how well they are treated over time by some very unsympathetic operators.....
Why would anyone not buy a good used GR at auction for home use, and if pushed depending on the individual bidders on the day, pay somewhere near to the price of far far lesser new domestic grinders that wont grind coffee as well and last 20 years less......?
If one of you blokes doesnt go to the auction and buy that GR.....maybe I will, because it will get snapped up at far less than the cost of new replacement by the importer....even if it goes to $500.00...and it wont go for anywhere near that.

Note I am not a Gino Rossi importer so no bias there.
