My first post, so hopefully I didn't mess up. (If I did, I am happy to edit! )
Just found this, hope it helps the community!
It usually retails for around $529

Same here… I wake the neighbours with that (270) grinder 😂 Other than that, it's a great drinder.
same boat… difficult decision
Although it seems quieter, it takes about 50seconds to grind 19-20g of beans.
Also, it has a power-brick
Pass
Jesus 50 seconds vs 6ish is quite a diffrence
You'd have to be grinding like turkish fine to hit 50 seconds.
30 is probably more realistic for a 20g espresso shot.
You're almost always going to be trading speed for noise

At about 2:30s he says 40-45seconds on a 17gram dose, so I guess about 45-50s on a 20g dose?
how well does this grid? any popping? what's the consistency of the grind like? What materials are the gridder made of?
Apparently it's on the quiet side of the spectrum…
With a low RPM … maybe that's why it takes longer?
I went from a 270wi to vs3. Vs3 is much quieter and more consistent with grind size due to lower rpm
wow! you saved me some money as I was about to buy from the official website which is $495!!! Also any discounts on burrs?
I think they marked down some of them…
Can't tell for sure as I didn't check previously their original price.
I bought the Gen1 version of this when it came out. Lasted about 2 weeks. Choked on a medium-light roast then magic smoked itself to death.
Hopefully Gen2 has "fixed" this? Otherwise I wouldn't trust it with anything other than medium-dark roasts. It's a pity, it is a very attractive looking grinder.
Apparently the Gen 2 fixed some issues related to that.
I checked a lot of reviews for a while and have been waiting on BF's deals..
Most people reviewing it seem pretty happy with the build quality and results.
I’ve had gen 2 since it’s release - 2-4 coffees a day. Hasn’t skipped a beat
Also gave gen 2, almost a year now going strong on at least 4 coffees a day
I paid $469.85 last BF, has been great!
Now I am waiting for a sales for the supernova….
I've got a Sette 270 I used to single dose for espresso, but it's so damn loud. Any ideas if this would be a suitable replacement?
