here's my setup...
Launched onto the market in November 2018.
I've bought OE grinders in the past, and haven't had an issue, so just picked one of these hunks up for just under £300 new, but is it worth the retail £525 UK price tag?
With 78 to 75mm flat 'Ghost' burrs; is it a good deal?:
The hopper holds around
80grms of beans
- Hardened Stainless Steel nested Deep Cut Triangular Prism Tooth Burr Set
- Rotational Burr 78 mm, Stationary Burr 75 mm
- Stepped Grind Adjustment 20 Steps
- Not suitable for Espresso or Turkish Grind
- Made in Taiwan
The Orphan Espresso Apex is the world's first and only flat burr manual coffee grinder! The Apex uses a Ghost Tooth Burr set, and when combined with the moderate speed of manual grinding, the result is a clean, and uniform grind.
The Apex hand grinder is designed for all coffee brewing methods (but NOT suitable for Espresso or Turkish coffee).
FEATURES
- Hardened Stainless Steel nested Deep Cut Triangular Prism Tooth Burr Set - commonly called a "Ghost Tooth Burr" (Rotational Burr 78 mm, Stationary Burr 75 mm)
- Stepped grind adjustment has 20 steps for grinding from fine through coarse settings
- 1 to 4 Planetary Gear Drive delivers optimum speed for efficient operation
- True Left or Right Hand operation - The ghost tooth burr delivers the same excellent grind result in either rotational direction. In fact, due to burr geometry counterclockwise grinding is slightly easier - perfect light roasts or hard beans (but it is not quite as fast in this direction)
- Affix to work top for one handed operation, or use the supplied reusable, non-marking, silicone anti-slip gel pads for smooth counter top placement
- EPD coated aluminum Chassis with Roller Bearing Mounted Stainless Steel axle for stable burr alignment, and strength (5 bearing sets are in the Apex!)
- EPD coated Cast Zinc Body/Base
- Removable Silicone Base cover
- Hand Made Glass Catch Cup
how to clean:
for
20g of beans, it will take around 1
min to grind; will post more feedback soon...
