    Thx amberale for the clarification
    Also to enthusiast, because I'm not sure how many version of hg-1 in the market either (i read every year or so they slightly tweak the design for minor improvement? Can't verified) hence I just call it 'normal hg-1' in compare to this as the 'first batch hg-1'. Still they look great nonetheless

    As far as I know, later model HG-1s only came with 83mm burrs.
    The 71mm are said to take less effort to grind while giving a very similar result.
    This model has infinitely variable grind adjustment with the adjustment collar held in place by a pressure screw on the side.
    The later models have a lift and turn slotted adjustment collar.
    Some later models have a longer arm on the handle for less effort.

    What do you mean by 'normal HG1?. This is a normal HG1. Can you clarify what you mean?

    replied
    Sorry noob question, but anyone know the difference of this version and the normal hg-1 apart from no marking?
    I really don't know if I should get this eventhough I've got a comandante mk3 :')

    It takes me around 25 rotations to grind 20g for espresso. So depends how fast you want to turn the crank. Takes me less than 15 seconds.

    Looks very nice Kywong. I second that it's a good price. Great grinder.

    Also I am not suggesting in any way that there is anything wrong with Kywong's HG-1.
    It looks fantastic.

    Roughly how long does it take to grind 18g or beans?

    I'm not sure MoM.
    I know there was an early series where LW replace some sub-standard burrs.
    My HG-1 was heavily used in a roasting premises for a long time and most of the coating has come off them and it is very hard to grind.
    The alignment is good and I only use med med-dark beans but I have to clamp it to a bench to use.

    What happened to your 83mm burrs amberale?

  • amberale
    commented on 's reply
    Yes Tom, agreed.
    My HG-1 1.01 has 83mm burrs that are frankly stuffed.
    I am trying to avoid paying $400+ for Weber replacements but apparently there are a lot of non-genuine Mazzer Robur 83mm burrs out there.

    BTW this is a terrific price for anyone wanting to try the Robur burrs and the Hg-1 is delightfully smooth to grind.

    Tx AA. I have the 71mm Mazzer Roburs as well and flavor is the same as the 83mm Roburs. So assuming this HG has the 71mm variant, the espresso will still be distinctly different to mappers Kony burrs.
Working...
