  • Designing a Grinder

    I know what Espresso machine I will buy this year, it was easy to pick and there's virtually dozens of good models on the market but I'm not so certain what Grinder I will get to replace this old clunker here.

    Got me thinking. If I could design a Grinder, what features would I designnin it to make it the ultimate Grinder?

    1. It would have 'dual' grinding ability, Conical & Flat burrs, flick of a switch would direct the beans to the correct burr. The burrs would be rated to grind 40 squillion tonnes.

    2. Stepless adjustment with a computerised, voice activated interface.

    3. Robust construction

    4. Internet connectivity, so you could share settings with fellow Snobs and instantly download slow motion footage of Beans being ground as it occurred. It would have a 40 gigawacky doolacky, making it upgradable as technology advanced

    5. 25 year warranty (BECOS I will be dead after that)

    6. Numerous hopper options

    7. Zero grind retention

    8. Faaaaast

    9. Quiet but not too quiet

    10. It would be beautiful like a Slayer & could be customised to its back teeth.



    If you could design a Grinder, what features would you give it?

    Why not get it to cook your dinner and drive you to the pub too?

        Needs to roast the beans and store them until they are at their prime. Then automatically grind them to the right fineness for the preprogrammed brewing method. Dialling in becomes a thing of the past

            Is there currently such a thing as a beautiful grinder? I can't think of any. My Macap M4 is shiny and impressive but I wouldn't go as far as to call it beautiful. In my mind a beautiful grinder could be re-bodied sette in a chromed body that's curvy and looks like a rearing cobra.

              I'm biased of course, but I'm still very taken with the 1950s art deco styling of the ECM V-Titan 64.

                Regarding voice recognition, what would the appropriate password be to activate it ? "Rosebud" or "Grind, you MF" ?

                  Haaa ha, love it.

                  It would be like Siri, "Now now Smee, there's no need for that kind of talk"

                    You just like catching you're own naked reflection in the Grinder as you errrr, as you grind it (as in make coffee, that is)

                      Exactly so [emoji108]

                      @OP; I would ditch the internet connectivity and voice activation and simply integrate with home LAN and smartingfone via Bluetooth and WiFi.

                      Then you can pick up smarts like voice control and so on using SIRI and an app or other hardware like Google Home or Amazon Echo etc. rather than reinventing the wheel.

                          What, that you want to rock and roll all night, and party every day?
