I'm impressed that you're able to grind 18g with espresso fineness in 40 sec! My cheap Javapresse grinder takes more than that even for pourover grinds

I had that same grinder until I upgraded it to the Eureka mignon Oro. The best hand grinder for espresso but I got tired of hand grinding light roasts. Too much work. For me that is way to acidic. I prefer to pull my shots in the more traditional range of 25 to 30 seconds.
