today, we're gonna review two grounders.
Now, about a week or two ago, I post a review of this.
The will first spark grinder on.
What did he said?
That's cool.
But how does it compare to the breath, uncle?
So I did what any normal person would do, and I went online, and I bought a Beretta encore.
So today I'm gonna do my best to compare and review to first things first.
Let's talk about look on build now.
For me, the build quality of the will for is actually just a little bit higher, like it feels a little bit more sturdy.
But in the Hopper Hopper adjustment, as well as in the body and the buttons itself, the Beretta is not badly built.
But to me it does feel a little bit cheaper, a little bit more like quit Now.
The switch on the side for sure doesn't feel a stadium as well built as the controls on the side of the willful.
Let's talk about usability Now.
Both grinders use the hopper on top as a way to adjust the ground.
You're gonna twist both of them.
I was away to control your grand settings on that works pretty well.
They both feel pretty solid, pretty meaty to turn.
It's pretty, a little bit easier to move this one.
This'll feels a little bit more solid, stiff the buttons themselves.
For me, the world for hands down, the quality of button on equality of dialogue are undeniably superior to the switch on the side of this.
And to be honest, I don't really love the little start.
Stop.
Just hold it down to run button on the front of described it.
I don't really find it particularly useful.
However, when it comes to the bins where the ground coffee ends up, I vastly prefer the design and usability off the bratty little bucket.
It's not a huge point, but it's a point in order to properly compare the grinders.
What I've done here is set them both to a setting that produces the same strength and therefore extraction.
When brewing a 750 mil batch of coffee on my will for batch brewed, this way we could compare them at a fair kind of matching grand setting.
First test is how long it takes each grinder to grow in a big batch of copy at that setting, I'm gonna does 30 grams of coffee into each grinder and see which one granted the quickest.
So interestingly, the will for grinding twice is quickly for the same batch and saying grind size as the encore Big win for the will phone.
What we need to do now is compare the grind quality of each Greiner.
Now doing this through taste will be a little bit flawed.
I'm just a brew from each.
That's a pretty terrible way to do it.
Taste comparison.
It should be a least blind.
It should be at least a triangle test.
Doing a non blind A B test between these two grounders is a waste of my time and yours.
So I've come up with a different way of assessing the two things recently sent a crew sifted.
Now I'll talk about this another time.
I'm gonna take a 30 gram dose Mitch grinder and sift it.
Now the two sieves 400 micro on 250 micro, both much smaller than the desires of particle size for the kind of grand setting we have him.
So really only fines should be sifted through into those two stages we could compare the amount of fines each grand produces to kind of have a relatively insightful look at the ground quality.
One thing to note at this stage, this ground has been used daily for four months now.
This ground has been useful one day, so the birds are not equal age.
However, I don't know how that's gonna impact the test yet a few moments later.
So I have the same grind setting.
Both Grind is producing extremely similar amounts of sub 400 Micro and some 250 micro files.
That kind of makes sense in many ways.
The bruise from both have tasted very, very, very similar.
One final objective test.
When it comes to these grinders on, that's noise for me, there's quite a big difference in noise.
And so I got a little decibel meter app on.
I'm just gonna test the sound of each grander and see which one is louder for me.
I want a quiet grinder.
I want that to be something that doesn't disturb people in the house.
First thing in the morning make me self conscious about grinding my coffee.
I wanted to be a CZ quiet as it can be phone placed equidistant from both grinders on the will for is a little bit quieter.
Time for conclusions.
At £105 this'll is a great by hard to dispute that fact.
At £150 the Bratton is more expensive when it comes to grand quality.
Both grinders are producing very similar results.
Hard to talk too much about in the cup because I haven't brooded nearly as much coffee with this groaners I have with this one.
But objectively, they're both doing a very similar job when it comes to running the same grand settings.
So if you're looking for something for filter coffee, they both are excellent choices now.
Would I go to the trouble of sourcing this grinder somewhere?
It wasn't available over this ground that no, I would not brought our worldwide good support.
That's an important aspect off buying any piece of equipment.
So it is a good support network.
This is great purchase.
If this has a good support network, it's another great purchase.
But overall to the design turned up some aspects of usability and build Hammond for price.
My preference is for the Wilton So there's my first head to head review.
Let me know if these things you think I missed let me know if these things you want to know about grinders or by any equipment that I didn't touch on this time around, let me know if these things you want me to go seek out get hold off on review.
What kind of things are interesting to you?
Leave me a comment below.
I'd love to hear what you think described.
Think it would be nice.
