Re: Latest GS3 news?

I really cannot see myself wanting to upgrade my grinder. Unless
someone comes up with a grinder with a connical burrset that has the
precison of the MM and is inexpensive too.

I have a Virtuoso, which has a connical burrset, but the construction
of the grinder does not allow for the sort of precision needed for
espresso.

Now I am curious. Planar vs Connical? Why use one or the other? Old
hand grinders had connical burrsets. However, I can see possible
issues when hooking the same burrs up to a high speed motor. The burrs
must be mounted right or else wear is an issue.
I am sure that there are many factor in choosing a burrset that are not
immediately appearant.

I quite agree that the grinder is quite important. I ended up with a
Mazzer Mini and it does the job. One of these days I want to upgrade
my espresso machine..

The MM is a nice grinder and you should be able to produce grounds as good
as from any planar grinder with it.
