Tired of killing conversation in my entire open-plan kitchen/living/dining area - is there anything I should consider that's more affordable than the Silenzio?

Quiet home grinder - Eureka Silenzio or...

Sadly modern kitchens with all of the hard surfaces bounce noise all over the place (most unpleasant) not a lot you can do about that.
The newer grinders will grind a shot in seconds.
I can still carry on a conversation whilst my Mazzer is running and my hearing ain't that flash.
No solution to your particular problem, just personal observations.

The silenzio is pretty quiet mate. I know two people who have them and are very happy with them. Antony at Casa Espresso may have a demo (may!)

I have the specialita and its great. Probably quicker than the silenzio due to the 10% larger burr size, but since I single dose, the grind by time on screen seems to be wasted on me at least for now.
I considered the atom, but it's not as single dosing friendly.
Depends on what you want from it other than a more quiet motor.

Do you want a quiet grinder or a quieter grinder? There are probably several quieter and cheaper grinders than the Eureka Silenzio.Originally posted by EdwardC View PostTired of killing conversation in my entire open-plan kitchen/living/dining area - is there anything I should consider that's more affordable than the Silenzio?
Perhaps you ought to tell us what your current grinder is so we have a benchmark. What's your budget?

I'm after a quiet grinder, but also an upgrade from my current Sunbeam EM0480. Budget-wise, I'm flexible - ideally I don't want to upgrade again after this, and I don't want to look back and think "I could've spent 10% more and got something way less compromised than this".Originally posted by flynnaus View PostDo you want a quiet grinder or a quieter grinder?

I'm in the same boat, so am watching this thread with interest.... looking to upgrade from an old Breville Smart Grinder (old enough to be a collectors item).Originally posted by EdwardC View PostI'm after a quiet grinder, but also an upgrade from my current Sunbeam EM0480.

What I am really struggling with is the price.... how can a small electric motor with a simple digital timer in a small box with a shaft with burrs attached to it cost as much as my complex Miele washing machine?

Economies of scale, I expect. Pretty much every household has a washing machine, very few have coffee grinders, and fewer still bother with something that approaches the results of commercial grinders.Originally posted by Valvster View Posthow can a small electric motor with a simple digital timer in a small box with a shaft with burrs attached to it cost as much as my complex Miele washing machine?

What machine do you have? Do you have any plans to upgrade it (and I assume you won't want to upgrade the grinder again too)?Originally posted by EdwardC View PostI'm after a quiet grinder, but also an upgrade from my current Sunbeam EM0480.

Pull the big chunk of concrete out of the washer and what's left would weigh the same as the grinder!Originally posted by Valvster View Post...how can a small electric motor with a simple digital timer in a small box with a shaft with burrs attached to it cost as much as my complex Miele washing machine?
