X54

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

Thanks for the detailed reply! I have a Mahlkonig X54 paired to my Micra and I’ve been pretty underwhelmed (performance and build quality), sounds like this is in another league though

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

Encore and forte would be very different price categories, but Eureka or Mahlkonig x54 *but i do not honestly see a reason to upgrade grinders for milk based drinks... they are extremely forgiving as is

I actually regret my mahlkonig x54 I hate it. Should’ve got the Weber

it smells like HeyCafe Buddy in a mahlkonig suit with those 64mm burrs... They've done this before (x54 + X64SD) and i was quite underwhelmed when i had one for a day. , below the e65 it's not my cup of coffee with mahlkonig.

The mahlkonig looks amazing and I got their email today as well! I just see you have the mahlkonig x54 and are looking to upgrade, that can’t just be for GBW? At the end of the day it’s smaller and less heavy duty, made in china, and more things to break with their digital adjustment. Or so I tell m
