I too am looking to replace my BCG820 grinder. Its my 2nd one (BCG800 was first). It is doing to do the clog, grind too fine, choke the Silvia thing for the last 6 to 9 months. I clean it, then it does it again in a week/month. I roast my own beans every 2 weeks or so. I read that someone has narrowed the problem down to bearings?
My budget is around $500 to $800. Main requirements are quietness and speed, 10+ year life, and quality of grind. But at that price range I think quality is (should be) a given. I don't mind a slow grinder if it is quiet.
I've looked at the rocky, Compak K3 touch advanced. Leaning toward the K3, but after reading a few posts here I'm more confused.
Eureka Mignon / Niche Zero /Baratza Sette / second hand MM - far out too many choices.
I'm also confused about the burr, I remember a few years ago a 'conical burr grinder' is the ducks nuts, but now they are all going back to flat burrs? My old Gaggia grinder had flat burrs and it was a POS.
Someone help put me out of my misery?
edit: usually pull 2-3 long blacks a day, plus 1-2 flat whites. then the occasional family event where I'm pumping them out.
