      Will do. It's still very early days though and I have to share in early impressions.
      I have been very happy with it overall.

        It’s now been a couple of weeks and things have settled down with the grinder. Actually, things have been quite settled from the start. I didn’t have much trouble getting the grind settings.

        I’m pleased to report that I’ve been very happy with my purchase. The grind consistency is absolutely amazing and I’ve noticed a big difference in my coffee. I’ve still only got 3 years of making espresso experience and here’s my observation coming from Eureka Mignon (original / E). With the Mignon, the flow rate always increased after the first 10 seconds of extraction. With Atom 75, I’m getting very smooth even slow extraction over the 28-30 seconds . I usually go for medium dark roasts and my dosage is usually around 21gm in a Pullman basket.
        For me, numbers are just indicative. It all comes down to what I get in the cup in the end. The result has been amazing with Atom 75. The flavours are more prominent and the aftertaste lasts for longer with the rich flavours.

        I’m sure the 65mm burrs won’t be much different either. The only thing to be mindful of when buying 75mm burrs is that the grind speed is really fast. Even adjusting grind settings means wasting slightly more beans in the process.

        If you’re single dosing, make sure to adjust the grind setting accordingly. I’ve noticed a difference in grinds depending on the amount of beans in the hopper. I have a big family and we do leave around 200gm beans in the hopper mostly so it’s not an issue. Just need to be mindful when it gets bit low.

        Haven’t tried cleaning it yet but will report on it when I get to it.

        The Mignon is now ready for my Behmor Brazen plus 3 duties and I’ve ordered it recently.
