X54

Best to invest in a commercial grinder. If you plan to just brew batch brews (which is weird way for a Michelin restaurant) best to get single dose grinder like the Mahlkonig SD64 or if the budget is forgiving, an EK43. The Mahlkonig X54 is okay but I believe it is best as an espresso grinder? I kno

Thats exactly it…just like x54 or e64 these are also produced in China by HeyCafe as opposed to Germany like a traditional Mahlkonig…its sad to see people have such experience with “Mahlkonig” you would expect a premium from such a brand

The only advice I can give is stop watching youtube videos lol It’s a never ending battle of buyer’s envy to buyer’s remorse. I’ve owned a Mahlkonig x54, two timemore hand grinders, three 1zpresso handgrinders, a Fellow ode gen2 with both burr sets, and a baratza esp… If I could do it all again and

Profitec RIDE or MOVE depending on if you want an e61 group or not. Then I’d get mahlkonig x64 if you like single dosing or x54 if you want a hopper.

While the mahlkonig is a beautiful machine the philos is engineered for zero retention single dosing and offer superior grind clarity, especially if you like lighter roasts. The x54 is more o

Mahlkonig 'made' the x54, that is actually a rebranded (and recased (and 2X the cost of a) HeyCafe. Same thing with the X64SD.So naturally, when they shown the all new X64WS the first thing i did was check if HeyCafe had something similar. After comparing specs, that would be the 'buddy'. I have an

I live in Melbourne Australia, where we typically have very high quality coffee. I have a gaggia and just got a mahlkonig x54 grinder. I just finished drinking my coffee then whilst thinking how bloody good it is that I can have this high quality coffee at home.

I came from several other machines with my last being the Rocket Appartmento. I got the Micra because space was a huge factor living in NYC. I already had grinders, Niche Zero and a Mahlkonig x54 - combined the grinder set up was good. But I’m itching for a new one either a Mahlkonig E64 or a Mazzer

Try r/espresso because that one is more focused on home espresso. I saw your comment about $2k being the outside of your budget. I’m very happy with the profitec go which is just around $1,200 usd now, but it’s a single boiler, so you need to understand the limitations of different boiler types like
