This has been a luxurious week with some of the best grinders out there. Amazing work!

[francescovultaggio]

Me while drinking a Nespresso: "Yes, indeed. Unimodal flat burs have some drawbacks"

[chocolategourmand]

“I feel like a spoiled brat complaining about the nicest toys money can buy”. I had to rewind 3 times and I laughed each time. I love your humility, seriousness, objectivity, and awareness, James. Great video and series.

[Anja-zghj]

It's ironic that I, someone who doesn't even drink coffee, use these videos, literally about a wakeup drink, as a bedtime story. James' calm tone + a topic that I'm interested enough in to listen but not enough to have an opinion about is just perfect. Thanks :)

[MangoTheRetriever]

The series we need but can't afford. Thank you, James!

[DetlevSchwabe]

The best thing about watching reviews of coffee grinders of ~$3000 and more is that I feel like the $500 ones are a real bargain

[jacobspang]

I'd love to see another week with grinders ranging from $800 -$1500. I feel like this is another tier worth exploring.

[astrovlog]

I will never be able to buy any of these grinders but I learned a lot from the series and that’s the importan part. Thanks for doing it and I’ll keep enjoying my comandante 🙌

[TAdamRox]

I almost squealed in delight when I saw the niche. Finally, something in my realm, LOL.

[ThorMaxx]

One of the very few patreon backed YouTubers who seriously gives back to his patreon community. None of this....'as a patreon backer you get you get special behind the scenes or exclusive offers...' nonsense.

Well done James!

James, I am very impressed on your understanding and sensitivity to how the viewers would respond to the comparison of "rating numbers" and your very clear perspective on how to internalize and use the information. I've never seen a professional unbiased review conducted with such aplomb. Bravo!

[serialdad]

thanks James for taking us on this exceptional journey into the world of coffee grinding.
I realized that your experience and talent lets you ZOOM IN into nuances and details which average users probably never experience. (maybe in a guided barista course)
so thanks for doing all this great work and presentation which was offered for free to the audience.

ps.
I loved that you integrated the Niche as a comparison, this really made the grinder showdown complete. (and yes, a 6 on the scale just shows the extreme ZOOM into details of this comparison)

[AdamJRichardson]

Perfect, I was just sitting here with my microwave reheated coffee in a paper cup waiting for this to drop. Excited to see how this turns out!

[SridevHumphreys]

Hi James, I thought about upping my coffee game and game across your YouTube channel. I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in such a short amount of time (about a week). Your videos are entertaining, informative, and just a pleasure to listen to. It is clear from watching your videos, that you love coffee, are serious about coffee, love making coffee, and that you are keen to share your excitement about coffee with others. At the same time, you manage to share your excitement about coffee in a way that is fun, humorous, and quite special. Many thanks.

[francisparenteau]

Thank you for this incredible series, I really enjoyed you're way of breaking down the differences between each grinder. They are all high performing grinders, but I personally really like the look and the smaller footprint of the Lagom P-64.

[jonlevymusic]

Thoroughly enjoyed this series. I've learned a ton and loved the approach and style. Highly enjoyable and lots of laughs. Now staring down the rabbit hole of grinders....thanks Mr. Hoffman!

[bigjacknfries]

Anyone here have absolutely no intention of spending this sort of money on a grinder but have watched every minute of the series just to get their fill of Hoffmann coffee goodness?

[scalwi]

I've loved this whole series and appreciated your inclusion of the Niche, even if it was only for one of the tests. I hope this can be a benchmark for testing a few other high end home grinders from major manufacturers. I'd love to see another Mahlkonig, such as the Peak, that might actually have a place on a home countertop. I'd also love to see the Ceado E37 SD or E37Z or E5 SD.

[laurenblankenship]

The fact that he set the benchmark with a Niche grinder made me smile!

[ursidaegames]

I'm glad you include the Niche Zero in this (even if it only made a brief cameo). I've been umming and ahhing over whether or not to buy a Niche, and to know that it's a comparitive "small step" away from some of the best grinders money can buy makes it seem all the more tempting.
