In our research for a new grinder, I have been looking at the manual grinders. Have gone through the forums, but not really found an answer......
Can a manual grinder produce adequately fine and consistent grinding for espresso? And how would a good one compare to something like a Mazzer Mini?
The ones that look most promising to me are the Lido range, also the HG 1, but not sure where to get this in Australia. I like the look of the ergonomics of the HG, but haven't tried out any of them yet.
We make two (usually double shots) espressos in the morning and lunch. We are not looking at portability, and if we had guests, would either drag out our back-up Sunbeam or get someone to operate the grinder while the barista does his work.
My concern at this stage is the grinding quality and reliability - how would an HG1, or Lido, compare with, say, a Mazzer Mini on these? The espresso machine is an HX - VBM Domobar.
And are the other manual brands better performers than the HG or Lido?
