Sage the Dose Control Pro Coffee Grinder Electric, BCG600SIL, Silver

Product Information

So if you don't need the espresso capability, it's fair to say that purely talking about grinding performance, you're probably not going to experience a great deal of difference in the cup from your extra spend. What you will benefit from, however, is the amazing user-friendliness, ease of use, and lots of features that you won't find on most other options.

If I've just confused you re baskets, pressurized baskets come with the most entry-level domestic espresso machines, They're easy & convenient, but they don't give the user the ability to tweak things towards perfection, which is known as “dialing in”. If you want that level of control, you'll need standard, traditional baskets, and working with this kind of basket requires more of the grinder. We have decided not to define the ranges exclusively to what the inventors of the brew methods intended or what coffee specialists insist is the right way, but defined by how people use it most frequently.Despite its name, the Dose Control Pro actually gives you a bit less control over your dose than the Smart Grinder Pro. Below are a list of the brew methods displayed on the chart, with descriptions and reasoning for their grind size values. Turkish coffee Turning it on for the first time, the machine hums to life smoothly. The digital display is crisp, and the buttons have a tactile responsiveness. The grinder’s aesthetic appeal is undeniable, but it’s the promise of performance that truly excites. The anticipation of the first grind, the first brew, is palpable. The Dose Control Pro is a space-savvy kitchen appliance because it is the small coffee grinder often found in gourmet coffee shops. At the time, the cheapest budget grinders on the market were the De'Longhi KG79 & Krups Expert, and I mainly swerved them because it appeared to me at the time that they weren't as user-friendly as the Sage grinders, and that the grind performance wasn't the best.

So my opinion with hoppers is to use them as temporary storage only and keep your beans in air-tight storage, preferably in a cool and relatively dark location (such as a cupboard, or on the moon, whichever is easiest). Don't do what most people do, which is to open your beans and empty them into the hopper as soon as you get them, and leave them in there until you run out. If you're doing this, you may as well leave them in the bag and just leave the bag open, as the hopper (any hopper, not just the hopper on the Sage grinders) doesn't protect against the environment.

What You Should Know Before You Buy

So all I actually needed to do in this situation was to take the grind more coarse and use these beans either via the dual walled baskets or for manual brew methods. The grinder machine uses conical burrs made from stainless steel to ensure minimal heat generation as it grinds the coffee beans. Both grinders come with detachable portafilter cradles that will hold various-sized portafilters in place beneath the grind chute. There are methods for finding the average size of particles, but these methods are either painstaking or require the use of expensive equipment (like a laser particle diffraction analyser).

With the Smart Grinder Pro, you can adjust the grinding timer with more precise 0.2-second increments. The LCD display on the Smart Grinder Pro lets you easily see how much time you’ve set it for. For those who love to tinker and find that perfect grind, the hyper-adjusting feature is a boon. It allows for minute adjustments, letting you dial in the perfect grind for your specific brew method. Grinding Directly Into Portafilters: I'd seen the Dose Control Pro from Sage, the slightly cheaper sibling of the Smart Grinder Pro, which was tempting, but I just really liked the look of the Smart Grinder Pro, and I'd seen that the power of the motor was slightly smaller on the Dose Control Pro (130W Vs 165W). Superkop Lever Espresso Machine One of the most unique espresso makers currently on the market, this is our First Look at the Superkop ratchet lever espresso machine.

A medium to medium-fine grind size — 375-800 microns — allows for a steady flow of water through the coffee bed, preventing excessive clogging, slow filtration, or fine particles from entering the lower chamber. V60

Each grinder’s range of grind sizes can be further adjusted with ten manual settings on the top burr. Effectively, the Dose Control Pro and the Smart Grinder pro can give you 600 grind sizes. For this reason, the grind size for Turkish coffee should be even lower than that of espresso, approximately between 40 and 220 microns. This fine grind, which should have the consistency of powder, ensures that the coffee particles are fully extracted during the brewing process, resulting in a rich and intense flavour. EspressoI'd previously made the assumption (as this has happened to me many times with integrated grinder machines) that it was an issue to do with the humidity in the hopper changing in integrated grinder machines like the Barista Express or the Oracle when the machine is turned on, but I found that the changes in humidity in my studio, which is a fairly normal environment, changed by as much as about 12% during a period of about an hour, both outside the hopper, and inside the hopper. This is a low-cost grinder, the burrs alone in some commercial grade grinders cost more than this grinder, and some of the grinders at around the one to two thousand pounds mark, or above, will usually, hopefully, produce more consistent particle size. Firstly, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to be more reliable. This means that they are less likely to break down or malfunction.
