    They say the Elektra Nino has almost nil waste

    Just buy it pre-ground and you dont have to worry about whats left in the grinder!   :P

    I suppose i am frustrated that with all the technology we have in the world we cant even come up with a grinder which is accurate, minimises wastage and produces quality espresso.

    Yeah, fair bump guys
    However, I have dosed 17,351 shots out of the the Robur E and 1 in 10 shots i have to dump because of a 1-4g discrepency. So thats alot of good quality coffee going to waste (not to mention i probably purge the grinder 4 times an hour).

    So therefore, i need to pulse out probably 40-45g to get fresh coffee into my handle if i have left the grinder idle. Pretty sh!t, for a grinder that everyone covets!?! Angry

    Oh I dunno mate..... :

    It all comes down to ones particular criteria of whats important.... Quality in the cup, speed of delivery, coffee wastage, etc etc....

    For what its worth, I just love my Kony and I realise that it does store an amount of coffee within the grind path (not as much as the Robur since it is only 66% the size) but in the end this is irrelevant in the overall scheme of things since I bought the Kony for the quality in the cup and ease of use. Neither the Kony or the Robur are intended for use in a home situation but for a very busy commercial scenario, their performances are worth gold to the proprietors.

    Its just a horses for courses deal once again....

    Re: Grounds left in grinder

    This thread inspired me to see how much grinds where held in the chamber below the Robur E burrs and in the chute.
    Well an interesting and disturbing finding...48g!!!!!!
    This is the amount held between shots/dose. In other words i took the hopper off, scooped out the beans which were resting on top of the burrs then disassembled and scraped every last bit of coffee into a container. THere was no pulsing to get rid of as many grinds as i could. Reason being i wanted to know how much i needed to flush if the grinder was left sitting idle for a couple of minutes. So therefore, i need to pulse out probably 40-45g to get fresh coffee into my handle if i have left the grinder idle. Pretty sh!t, for a grinder that everyone covets!?! >

    As to a click clack lid... That method will only work on a hopper with STRAIGHT sides.

    Hi, looking to clear the chute on my K3T, does anyone know (AM perhaps?) if Click Clack lids fit the standard hopper.  Looks close but if I dont have to take hopper into Big W all the better.  Even got one in silver that looks close to my K3Ts finish. 8-)

    Thanks
    No idea as to volume or impact... You would need to strip and measure how much is left..

    I tend to give it a flick and dump the first few g in the morning...
