Hi all,
My second post, so go easy on me...
Having a slight dilemma deciding between these two entry level grinders which are within my budget...any advice from users of either would be much appreciated.
I have a Gaggia Classic and Rancilio MD50 grinder currently – so I am in fact trying to downgrade from the Rancilio grinder (I know I may regret this but its just too much of a monster to have in the kitchen!).
I have read through all the threads here on the Breville smart grinder as well as doing my research on the Lelit PL53. Basically, my main concern with the Breville is how fine the step adjustments really are. I have read that there are extra steps between the digital readouts but are we still talking about finite steps or is it a continuous infinite adjustment? Can you realistically achieve a change of say only 2-3 seconds in shot time with the minimal available adjustment?
I would have gone with the Lelit Pl53 except for the fact that every now and then I do a stove top grind, and the Lelit (or most other similar worm drive adjustable grinders) just cant be adjusted practically. If I get this grinder I may need to keep another ‘coarse’ cheap grinder around the place. So thats the main drawback.
The Breville also has some very attractive extra functionality...
So thats it in a nutshell, interested in any pros and cons from others on the two grinders.
Thanks
Jim
