As the title suggests, I drink a French press everyday and currently have a Breville SGP as a dedicated FP grinder
its fine. It does the job but it’s getting long in the tooth and I fear it’s not long for this world
As I’m the type of guy who is constantly looking for the next shiny thing to pick up, I’ve been passively looking around for a replacement grinder
The kicker is, it would need to be a grinder with a hopper and have timed doses as single dosing for French press is more effort than my missus would prefer to deal with.
I previously looked at the Mahlkonig X54 when on the hunt for an Espresso Grinder (it didn’t make the cut, but I’m still pretty interested in one) and it seems to fit the bill for what I’m chasing.
While the cost doesn’t really put me off, it kinda feels like overkill despite the fact it would be used 7 days a week
Are there any other (more sensible) options I should consider?
Should I just buy another Breville?
Is a mid tier grinder a diminishing return when only using it for French Press?
Advice is appreciated
