Sculptor 078S

Four categories. Sub-$200 (it does job and in expensive) Mokkom/shardor/GF64 $200-300 (great bridge grinder and possibly you will want to change these grinder when you upgrade your machine) DF54/encore esp/new fellow $400-500 (potential burr change) DF64/timemore 064 $700 (good value grinder). DF83v

I would reject both of your options. Libra ... in theory should allow you to switch between settings easily. I don't agree with your theory. Switching any hopper grinder between grind settings is problematical. You need to purge the grinder to get rid of the retained grinds from the previous setting

Timemore Sculptors are 20% off for the next 8 hours on Amazon. And probably will be again several times over the next few weeks. The 078s has more reports of needing lots of seasoning to be consistent; haven’t seen as much of that with the 064s and would be well under budget. Seems to fit what you’r

Timemore sculptor 078s, Been using for 1.5 yr now, rock solid and worth the value.

I have both Timemore Sculptor grinders 064s and 078s, and I love them both! I've had the 078s for almost 2 years. I liked it so much I got the 064s for my 2nd setup. If you search this sub or other forums for these grinders, you'll see lots of negative feedback when they were first released, but as
