Last Updated: 2024/11/03, Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) found that the beautiful cafe opened a small shop handle with a tooth plate, and a circle of fixed grooves around the tooth plate. The coffee beans with a rotating handle fell into the grooves and were crushed by the tooth plate, crushed into the metal tooth plate rotating with the handle below, concentrated in the bottom small drawer, and then out of the drawer after grinding. Coffee powder was full of fragrance.

Follow the caf é (Wechat official account vdailycom) and found that Beautiful Cafe opened a small shop of its own.

The handle has a tooth plate, and there is another fixed groove on the periphery of the tooth disc. The coffee bean with the rotating handle falls into the groove and is bitten by the tooth plate. It is crushed in the metal tooth plate that rotates with the handle below, and is concentrated in the bottom small drawer. After grinding, it comes out of the drawer, coffee powder is full, fragrance overflows, boil on the alcohol stove, blend into the coffee companion, unique flavor!

First of all, we need to know that the movement of the hand bean grinder is divided into metal and ceramic.

Metal is easy to get hot when grinding, which makes the aroma of coffee beans volatilize ahead of time.

The ceramic is fragile, but the ceramic basically does not heat up, so the fragrance is corrected.

Cast iron has a longer life than ceramics, and although ceramics are wear-resistant, they are actually very easy to break, and ceramic die cores made in mainland China are even more difficult to survive a year.

The use of cast iron for a long time is nothing more than wear and tear lead to more uneven, but can be used for many years.

The advantage of ceramics is that they can be washed, but in fact, they can't be washed clean at all. on the contrary, they have to be dried after washing, and they are accidentally broken after washing.

Section 2 hario MSS-1DTB;hario MSCS-2TB (ceramic grinding core) within 200yuan

The utility model has the advantages that the thickness of the powder can be adjusted and the appearance of the powder is good, the speed of grinding beans is relatively calculated, and it is quick and convenient to clean.

Shortcoming

1. The main body is made of plastic, and a small amount of coffee powder will be adsorbed on the inner wall because of static electricity.

two。 The uniformity of the ground powder still can not meet the requirements of the master.

3. Anti-human bar code label!

Section 3: PORLEX Mini (ceramic core grinding) within 300 yuan

1. This bean grinder is mainly easy to carry. There is no pressure to throw it directly into the pocket when you commute to and from work.

2. It can meet the need of grinding and brewing a cup of coffee every day.

3. Japanese workmanship is really good.

Section 4: anonymous 2 items (metal grinding core) within 500 yuan

Advantages:

1. Product update. After several generations of product iterations, coffee bar friends continue to stimulate "Brother Cat" to push through the old and bring forth the new. now the new product has a stable production and good appearance, just as Brother Cat promised. Anonymity is a product with the highest priority of grinding beans, and we do not rule out the possibility that Brother Cat will constantly improve the coffee mill in the later stage. For the single item hand mill at the price of 500 yuan, I think Anonymous 2 is a good choice.

2; clean up. Since the first generation, anonymous hand mill insists that it does not need tools at all, and it can be taken apart and cleaned with bare hands, which is really good news for friends who have obsessive-compulsive disorder after grinding coffee.

Disadvantages:

1; no accessories. Like most hand mills on the market, there is no replacement for mechanical wear (such as conical cutters and bearings). Although Brother Cat has announced that there will be corresponding accessories since the second generation of sale, but with the iteration of the product, we can only hope that Brother Cat will lock the final shape of the hand mill as soon as possible, and then there may be corresponding accessories to follow up in a timely manner.

2. Adjustment of grinding degree. Anonymous 2 puts a rubber ring under the scale adjustment twist to prevent the scale from running during the grinding process, but the resistance is not a little bit larger when adjusting the fine grinding degree, which can be described as the powerful King Kong finger.

3. Jumping beans, card beans. The anonymity of the latest version of these two problems has been solved, so let's just consider it the problem of this version in my hand.

Section 5; Heller 101 (metal grinding core) within 800 yuan

Advantages:

1. Appearance. Heller's design and materials are in line with the aesthetic of most people. For the first time, Heller is really shocked by Heller's design workmanship and texture, as if it is a work of art, silently giving a compliment to the fine works of domestic products.

2. Replaceable accessories. Heller promises that all Heller hand grinding components are available for accessories. You know, changing accessories can save a lot of money than changing a hand mill, and it can save a lot of money.

Disadvantages:

1. Price. The single product hand mill is 200 dollars more than the anonymous one with the same cone knife (anonymous two generations 480 yuan, Heller ordinary bearing unit 699, it seems that Heller is up 50 yuan all over the line).

Section 6; lido series (metal grinding core) 1000 +

Lido is currently recognized as one of the most professional and best hand mills in the world. It is designed by Doug, a famous American old grinder collector, and is inspired by the Italian toy "Lido". As the old man has played more than 500 German veteran mills, so the big idea is from the German old mill-fixed shaft, multi-bearing fixed, cone knife. Like the German old mill Pede, Zassenhaus, Lido also needs calibration to ensure the accuracy of the shaft and grinding plate, which is like a double-edged sword, can be manually calibrated structure, can ensure the accuracy of grinding beans, not afraid of the impact of fuselage deformation on the accuracy, at the same time, for ordinary users, it also increases the difficulty of use. Due to the increase in production, the Lido was not fully calibrated when it left the factory, so the products could not reach the best condition, some of them could not even be used, and even some problematic products were mixed in. Before shipping, we manually calibrate each Lido, and give each user a calibration information card, so that the buyer can easily complete the calibration according to our training method at that time when using it in the future. The store will also do remote guidance on the problems of use and calibration, so that every sold Lido is in the best condition!

How to choose Lido 2 & Lido 3 & Lido E & Pharos?

Lido three models are currently using the latest OE design Swiss-made 48mm hard steel grinding core. Pharos adopts Italian 68mm hard steel core grinding.

Lido: all three can be ground from Turkey to the French press scale range, the performance is good, the powder is exactly the same.

The heaviest model in the Lido 2Jet 1.6kg Lido series is suitable for household use or can be taken out. The powder can be made of glass.

Lido 3, designed for portable, foldable handle, weighs 980g, comes with a portable bag, and the powder can is made of antistatic plastic.

Lido E, increased the scale adjustment range, especially for the Italian fine powder scale adjustment is more accurate, weighing 1020g, with an Italian powder collector, the powder can is antistatic plastic.
