So my Baratza Preciso has finally kicked the bucket and I'm now looking at upgrading. The Baratza was around the $330 mark when I got it but for the next grinder I'd be willing to spend about double that, but still keeping costs down is a consideration.
The main uses for my grinder are:
- Paired with Rancilio Silvia for espresso and milk based drinks (this will be the main use) - although I also wouldn't mind upgrading the Silvia to something better in a year or so
- Filter methods (V60 etc)
- AeroPress occasionally
- Making batches of cold press (basically grinding 250g at a time into a vessel of some sort to use for CP)
I'd love to get a Mazzer Mini Electronic but since they're pushing the $1k level, I don't want to spend that much.
I've been looking at two main options:
- Anfim KS - $629 + shipping on CoffeeParts
- Macap M2M - $510 on Coffee-A-Roma
I like the fact that they're both doserless and grind on demand. I wouldn't mind a Mazzer Mini Manual/Anfim Best/Macap M4 but I feel like the doser would not work well for my set up (only 1-2 machine based coffees a day, filter coffees, then sometimes big continuous grinds for CP). Plus with these grinders I'd be paying more than I hoped.
Do you guys have any suggestions or any other options I should be looking at?
