Eureka Atom

Zee, unfortunately for me the compliance label is prominently displayed in my setup. It reads 50-60hz, 220-240V so you are ok.

Having now read the whole thread, and only seen one reference to this question with no clear answer...

Would an Atom be a good investment for light duty cafe use? Say, 50-100 coffees/day? I'm not seeing the Atom 65 anywhere, though will shoot off some inquiries. This would be as an alternative to, say, a Ceado E6P (keep in mind, said tiny cafe is not in Aus, we're running a GS3, and the grinder would need to be 220v/60hz capable).

Speaking of which, don't suppose I could trouble someone to check the power specs label, and see if it, by chance, says 50/60Hz next to the 240V bit? None of the Aussie sites seem to mention this, and the one site that does states "110/120V", clearly a cut and paste from the US info sheet...

I'm keen to hear your update! And where can I get my hands on an Atom 65 or 75? I can't find them anywhere in Australia.

Hey mate - sorry, I forgot about this!

The grinder has been amazing (for me). The adjustments hold sold, it dials in super easy and it is wickedly quiet.

I find the grind very clump free and nice and fluffy. It spits out a very consistent 19g dose in about 8 seconds and I would say 99% of the grinds hit the portafilter - there is very little throw on to the counter (most, if not all, are caused by me).

I have the small hopper currently installed typically only fill it halfway. The odd bean does get hung up when it’s running low, but it’s not an issue.

I think Eureka has also changed the spindle that holds the burrs. They plastic “spiral” that pulled beans down on the older Atom has been changed to a larger spiral in the metal spindle. I am not 100% about this change as I didn’t own the older version, but I get very little “spit back” from beans when the hopper is low.

I am thrilled with the grinder and highly recommend putting it on your shortlist.

Have any Atom's gone second hand on CS ? I'm wondering what they go for...

A couple appeared to sell in 2017, $880 to $900

Day three with the Atom 65, so far I am really impressed. It is super quiet and has been a dream to dial in.

I will post a bigger update this weekend with a pile of photos.

Dang. I hope you had padding in your lap 藍

Look forward to hearing and seeing more of your experience.

Ha!! I did hurt a little... but, hoping for a sale of the Super Jolly to offset the initial outlay... I just couldn't resist!

Anyone here had experience with the Red Speed Burrs before?

Oh am I excited!! I have an Atom Specialty 65 with Red Speed Burrs arriving on my counter tomorrow AM!!

Of course, the Atom fell into my lap ...

I will post some photos and my thoughts on the Specialty 65 once it's all setup

Of course, the Atom fell into my lap the day after I installed brand new burrs into my Super Jolly Electric - I guess the purchaser of the Jolly will be starting of right though!!

What's the issue? I use it with a naked every day. I used to have it set so I could use a spouted or naked, but now I almost never use the spouted so flipped the piece of the portafilter holder that goes inside the machine the other way up and put it back together. Works a treat.

Now I feel like an idiot. All good. Just needed to try more options.

Has anyone found a way around using the portafilter holder with a naked portafilter?

everyone I have checked with is out of stock until November -- been on the hunt for one myself.
