In all honesty, and I've spoken this aloud at home, this series of grinder review videos have created an excitement for me that I haven't had since I listed to my first Dokken record in '85. I clearly need more excitement in my life, but I do give most of the credit to James for creating such compelling and refreshing content.

I've had too many grinders, including a modified EK43s and now a Lagom P-64. I can tell you confidently that none of these grinders will improve the taste of your coffee to anywhere near what the difference in price would suggest! The slope of price vs. performance drops RAPIDLY after the Encore. You can argue (as James does) that you pay for quality and craftsmanship, and your money indeed does go somewhere, but unless you're a die-hard coffee enthusiast with refractometer, water treatment and all the other geeky stuff, none of these grinders make much sense!

Can I just thank you James for making proper points about the manufacturing processes behind these grinders. In my own field it's something that gets completely disregarded in the face of a high price, and it's maddening. Value lies beyond raw results, price/performance will always end up favouring the cheapest tool that just about manages the job. I really appreciate that you touch on the difficulties of production and the differences between how each company approaches their products. Can't wait to watch the remaining episodes in the series!

People also fail to consider that value is more than monetary. I may decide to overpay for a product I like because it makes my life easier. Convenience provides value. I may pay for someone to do a job I could do myself, because I value the opportunity to give them work they may need. Or, I may buy a $3k grinder because I like the aesthetic of it. Looks provide value. So many people get caught up in the idea that value only equals money. There's more to it than that.

@@candinmuniz3225 100% In my eyes, value is measured from the level of satisfaction you feel. Naturally satisfaction will change depending on what the individual looks for in a product. You don't want to feel cheated by a purchase after all. The problem with that from a review level though is that it's intangible and ultimately up to personal preference, which is a pain as folks often use it as a stick to beat the reviewer with.

Thanks for the nod, buddy. Just for reference in the chat, I do think a lot of us knew at the time that what we had on our hands was simply an outlier. Coffee grinders prior to this current generation left so, so much to be desired in design and performance. The lessons learned enabled a lot of the other grinders in this series to exist, because it clearly demonstrated there was market demand for better performing technology. Bit of a shame that Mahlkonig were never really able to acknowledge what they had and properly iterate on an ancient product for the sake of meeting the new demands of their customers, but thank goodness for competition I guess. As you’ve pointed out, there are some excellent options in the field now and the EK is still good for a few applications regardless.

Love the fluffy and consistent grinds and my coffee is wonderful. At my shop I use the Webber EG-1. A few years ago I bought an EK-43 for the shop in Japan while I was traveling in the States. My bad, I purchased a 60hz grinder and in my area of Japan we use 50hz. I sold it to a friend in Shizuoka and that is when I bought my EG-1. I was one of the firs 100 people to own one. I love it but James is right on about the sound of this grinder. And I have to fiddle with it to get all the grinds to pass through when I grind. It is pretty good but the only truly zero retention grinder I have ever used is the Comandante.

I have not had the privilege of using one of these as a daily grinder, but I have used a few EK’s in my time. One interesting trend here in Australia is to leave the EK running non-stop. Cafes will first turn on the grinder when the staff first walk in the door to open up and hour before service. The theory is the temperature will be stabilised, it won’t fluctuate between peak and off peak periods. This leads to more consistent grind size as the metal is all at temperature and has expanded to it maximum. All that being said, consistently I find the espresso from EK’s to be more balanced and generally sweeter. I get the lack in texture, however I prefer overall balance and sweetness as a priority preference.

I've had an Ek43 as a home grinder for a few years now. I was lucky to get one 2nd hand for a decent price. I've modded it by removing the thwacker and replacing with a jar (keeps retention super low and really improves work flow). The hopper is gone and has been replaced with a glass V60. There's some SSP redspeeds in there. I've spent countless hours trying to align it and there's still room for improvement. I think the next stage is to sand the static burr landing surface myself and buy a Titus burr carrier. If I'd had to pay full price and do all of the above I wouldn't have been very impressed. I tend to find that my espresso setting stay pretty consistent day to day and between beans but that could be the SSP burrs working their magic. Great vid James, looking forward to the next couple of days.

One thing regarding cost vs the other options. It's possible to find old EK's for very reasonable prices. They may need a new burrset and a deep cleaning but they're out there, sometimes just listed as "coffee grinder" or something equally generic. I recently found one from the late 90's with nearly new burrs that needed a new power switch, the whole grinder cost me less than the new power switch. In the older models however alignment can be pretty far off so in addition to any repairs you'll probably also need to align the burrs which can take a few hours the first time.

I think a lot of people get caught up in the name and forget the purpose, and end up pining for something without considering it's effectiveness. For example, a Rancilio Silvia CAN pull good espresso. Should I start a Cafe with it? Probably not. Can the EK-43 pull good shots? Absolutely! Should I use it as my daily driver at 5 in the morning when I want a no-fuss, single dose of coffee? Probably not. Great review James! Can't wait for more!

Thank you, I had no idea about the history of these prior to Matt’s face being on the side of them. Especially not as far back as the 70’s. I’m no longer in that commercial environment but certainly echo your thoughts about QC and alignment. What might be a grind setting for espresso in one cafe would be completely different in our other cafe just due to alignment. I do have a loving relationship of them though. The moment I’m in a cafe and have not seen the coffee set up and hear the iconic hum and grind from an EK43 I know I’m in a cafe that gives a damn. I’ve always lusted after an EK for home but you’re right it’s not the best fit, a niche zero is probably a better fit for home.
