  • is having more than one grinder useful?

    i can see that some of the members have several grinders, but im wondering if it might be useful to keep my old grinder for decaf, rather than emptying beans out?

    i just got a new smart grinder from talkcoffee and love it, im trying to decide what to do with my de loungi, which other than not grinding fine enough for a 25sec expresso through my silvia is still a functioning grinder..

    what do you all do when you want to have a different bean, do you empty out your grinder?

    take it to work

    for plunger or the "other" machine :

    i dose my grinder on demand with beans so never need to empty it unless i have a crowd over and they are not going stale in the hopper.

      keep it for plunger, syphon, pourover etc

      Saves you adjusting your espresso grinder all the time

        Yep run 2. I use a 60s handgrinder for aeropress it saves upsetting the espresso setting on the SJ and I can use a different bean for the aeropress.

          Me too. I have the Kony-E for serious stuff and use a Breville for everything else- including decaf duties.

            Gday Headinclouds,
            If the De Longhi wont grind fine enough for regular espresso, it will struggle with decaf, as you normally need to move the adjustment finer for decaf than regular.

              Absolutely! despite what it can and cant do, it still grinds. Husband recently took our grinder out (long story) which has made me realise the importance of having a backup for just in case, especially when a cup of coffee in the morning is really really really enjoyed and not just a habit.
