I had the opportunity to test the Pico at home and compare it with my Atom 75 grinder. I agree with most of your points just not with the noise. It’s not loud but when I compare it to my Atom 75 then it’s definitely more noisy. Maybe something to mention is that it’s possible to change the single and double cup grinding times in the La Marzocco app. Also the grinder has a light and it’s possible to shut down the light with the app. This grinder gets a lot of criticism and i think it’s because of the price but in my personal opinion i like this grinder more than my personal atom 75. The quality of the grind dosing itself isn’t much different from my atom 75 but it’s the whole package i like from the pico. Like he said the input and output are almost straight and i have a lot of less retention on the Pico en it grinds very clean Cleaning the Pico is so easy which means that old coffee grind is almost impossible. While on my atom 75 I really need to bring it in for service to have it totally clean. Also the big adjusting wheel feels very premium and you get a nice click every time it’s changed. That’s something I totally miss on my Atom 75. What i also like that’s it easy to change the height for the portafilter and it’s made for a normal and naked portafilter. On my Atom 75 it’s more difficult to adjust it every time. Also nice you get a cup and cup holder if you don’t want to grind in your portafilter. What you immediately notice is that the deck is also made for the acaia scale. Something i hope that would be possible in the future, with a update, is that you can connect the scale to the grinder and you can program a dose weight in the app ( for example 16 gram) and when you start the grinding it stops automatically when the acaia scale hits the 16 gram. Let’s say +- how the acaia works with the linea mini to make your coffee shot. I like how the Pico looks but it doesn’t suit with every machine. I own a GS3 and it just doesn’t suit . The Atom 75 suits much better and i find that a grinder needs to suit with your machine. When i saw the Pico i saw immediately the looks of the Linea micra and mini. So with that machine it suits perfect. Also i think that there is a big chance that, in the future, there will be one big connection between the pico, linea mini and acaia scale. So in general would i recommend the Pico grinder? Yes definitely! If you have a Linea Mini/Micra i would buy it and if your planning to buy a Linea Mini/Micra then pick this grinder. If you have another machine then i would take a nice and good grinder that suits your machine.

That tactile feel of all the buttons and grind adjust is paramount to the overall coffee experience, especially for myself 🏆 Guess its time to change out the mazzer 😅

Can you adjust single and double shot second ?

Are you guys planning to sell your perfect cups outside of australia? Shipping taxes and inport is kindoff killing it for me... But not having them is killing me too :(

Other than motor failure with the Sette, any idea how this fares against the 270? The structure and conical burr mount is similar to it.

Between the Lux D and the Pico, what is a better way to go?

I almost purchase this under spec grinder since it was made specifically for the Linea Mini. For 20 dollars more I got the Atom 65 Excellence by Eureka! It got 65mm flat burr and 1370 RPM! And it’s stepless too!

Might it be possible to link to the cleaning tool you used to get the grinds out? I have the Pico and would love to own that brush!

you QUICKLY went through the cleaning portion but the issue is dialing it back in. When screwing it back in once you have cleaned it, what lets you know you are screwed in enough and that your dials are exactly the same as they were before? This seems to be more of a variance than exact as i found myself screwing it back and the dial went around a few times making it near impossible to know i was exactly dialed in like before.

7:17 No single drop ground around dosing cup. It is a dream for me

I didn't know that conical burrs had better consistency for everyday users. I have the problem with flat burrs. As the beans age, the grinder requires adjustment. I don't like that. Thank you for this valuable information.

I used grinder numner 13, 18g bean, the liquid after brew is 110g. machine is micra.

Yay, for stepped adjustments. Is there a grinder that is set and forget? I'd pay a lot for that. Are big flat burrs compensating for something? (Still, I'd never admit to 43mm conical😂)

I don't know it looks alright to me😅 Good idea of all it pro's and cons, though.

That’s a quieter Sette 30. This seems like an ad.

As someone who is just starting down the espresso rabot hole i have to wonder if the price for most of the quality grinders is a bit inflated because its for espresso. I feel like $50 is alot for a grinder but i understand that sometimes you need to pay more for quality. Still seems a bit excessive in cost.

1000 dollors for a lump of plastic 39mm burrs thought u were joking .got to be crazy to buy that

ok, but $1000 buy a 39mm?😂

Why does it looks so cheaply made. Especially the hopper.

sounds hella bias ngl

Terrible sound quality.😢

sette in new clothes 😅

I’m not sure I like the idea of a grinder that feeds through a plastic sphincter.

Does this grinder look like it took 10 years to develop ? 😢

Very nice 😊 🩵

I’m sorry but $1000 for a hopper fed 39mm conical burr grinder is just so out of touch with the rest of the grinder market. I understand why their machines cost so much, you can see and feel the quality of the build and components. This feels like a paid for ad rather than an honest review.

It’s a joke that’s it

Is this supposed to be a toy for children to learn making coffee? Can't believe La Marzocco made something like this!

How any home barista that doesn’t single dose nowadays is beyond me. The hopper is an absolute no-no if you’re only making 1-3 cups a day as many of us are.

39mm burrs? What? For $1000? Burr engineering can only take you so far. There is no way those tiny burrs will produce a flavor that is worth $1000. They spent 10 years developing that thing? La Marzocco is simply expecting to make a profit from it's hardcore fanboys.

This is paid advertisement. 👎🏻👎🏻
