Product Description
Whatever method of coffee making you prefer, you’ll need a slightly different consistency of grounds to make it properly. With the GEFU Lorenzo coffee grinder you get 11 degrees of fineness to choose from, so you can make that French press, filter coffee, or espresso the way it’s meant to be made Read More
Does this work fine for espresso? I mean, I don't have the best machine in the world, but it's got a high flow rate/head pressure, so I need my coffee kinda finely ground. I can't remember the model of the machine, I've had it for ages and I've removed any stickers, but it's a 250-ish$ Krups if that helps.
Also how fine is the finest setting on this? Does anyone know?
tolis626I use one for my espresso maker and it works just fine. A good one but not high end. I think 3-400$. For my maker I have it set at #3.
I love this grinder and find it does a very good even grind. I use it also for my mocha pot. I'm sitting here pondering whether I should get another at the great price. I bought mine here in Thailand at a department store and it was a lot more expensive.
For my part I recommend it. I grind with it in my left hand and turn th crank with my right hand. In other words I don't place it on a table or counter to grind.
I also have a Hario which I like but it does not grind as evenly I think
Hope it helps!
Not sure if I have really dry hands or physical limitations, but I'm having a terrible time trying to grip the body of the ginder in my hand while grinding. I end up turning the whole ginder in my hands instead of grinding the beans.
I tried using the arm of the cup as leverage. This works, but now I've effectively tightened the screw on the cup adding another conundrum of trying to unscrew it from the grinder. What a pain.
I wish the stainless steel body was easier to hold on to. I have to use silicon baking mitts to get a proper hold on it. I might try wrapping some electrical tape around it to add grip.
I got mine from the last drop, but I am having a problem with the adjustment slipping with usage. I have it adjusted where “1” gives me a good fine grind for my aeropress, but while I’m grinding, the adjustment knob slowly creeps to almost 2. Does anyone have this problem?
It takes some getting used. The bottom cup has some knob, which I tend to lean against my palm, so that there is no way for any slippery. Didn't try anything other than coffee beans.
It slips in my hands if my hands are wet, if my hands are dry, there is no problem. The diameter it larger near the top of the cylinder, so it is easier to grip near the top even though the surface appears to be smooth stainless steel. If the cylinder is grasped near the bottom where the diameter is small, the grinder is more likely to spin while grinding due to less surface area that can make contact with your hand, so you will need to grip harder if holding the cylinder near the bottom. I've noticed I need to hold "harder" when gripping the bottom of the cylinder even when pushing against the "handle holdinf tab" vs holding the top of the cylinder with a larger diameter.
All that said, i am buying another. I bought mine on a drop a few months ago and want one for both home and the office.
If my hands are wet, I grasp the cyclinder with a towel.
How consistent is the grind on this? I have a hario skerton, but I found that there was a non-insignificant amount of play on the shaft. I would get somewhat inconsistent grinding and occasional powder.
DocZZZThe GEFU grinder is quite larger. I had a hario mini before and used it for for french press coffee. I think I got similar results with the grind. The hario mini uses a metal nut to mount the handle. After some time, the nut wore out and the grinder didn't turn anymore. The GEFU has a different way of mounting the handle, so I'm not worried about it breaking.
