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

Product Information

It does not come with a container like the Sage Barista Pro, so if you want to grind coffee for pour-over or anything other than espresso, you'll have to find a container under the grinding chamber. It's an excellent choice for coffee fanatics at any point in their coffee journey.

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. Beyond this, the two grinders are similar, with a glass container that can be unscrewed from the grinder itself. However, here the handle is attached to a lid, which will need to be slotted on top of the hopper. This prevents any bean fragments from escaping mid-grind. It’s pretty secure, but it’s important to take care when grinding (this means keeping it upright in your hands, unless you want coffee beans all over the floor). The Infinity conical grinder is built with precision in mind. It offers 16 different grinding settings so that you can play around with different textures and flavours. I bought this grinder for pairing with my Gaggia Classic, which was a used 2003 model, but also for Aeropress, cafetiere, and V60, and this is the main reason I was looking at the Sage grinders in the first place, as they appeared to be perfect for varied use. It is built with 100-Watt commercial-grade conical burrs that are engineered with great accuracy and an innovative cutting mechanism to provide a uniform and consistent grind quality.Sage grinders use this same kind of technology to limit the torque the motor can apply to the grinder so that if a foreign object ends up in the burrs, a pebble for instance, the motor isn't called upon to deliver maximum torque, which may cause damage, not just damage to the burrs, but more importantly, damage to the motor such as stripped gears.

Filter coffee machine and drip coffee machine are general terms for any electrical coffee brewer that uses a percolation or pour over mechanism. The user-friendly LCD makes it simple to alter dosage timings, count shots, and fine-tune grind settings.

Adjust in 1 second increments for control of your grind.

Today, pour-over consists of pouring water over coffee grounds in cone or funnel shaped dripper containing a filter (typically made of paper or cloth). Manual Grinders: A manual grinder has a crank handle that you have to turn manually rather than being electric powered. They typically use a conical burr and are a budget-friendly way of getting burr-ground espresso powder without having to pay hundreds of pounds for an expensive electric machine. But they do require some effort on your part and can usually grind enough for one or two espressos. These are best for espresso machines, those on a budget that still want good coffee, and where electricity isn’t available. This brew method is traditionally prepared by simmering finely ground coffee and water in a small pot called a “cezve”. Unlike other popular brew methods, the coffee grounds are left in the final cup.

However, this grinder doesn't have an off switch in case you want to change something. You must either wait for it to complete its cycle or unplug it from the power source. Overall, it is a great espresso coffee grinder at its price point. Nevertheless, suppose you're looking for a small espresso coffee grinder that is travel-friendly and efficient. In that case, you should consider the comandante manual espresso grinder since it covers a range from filter grinds to espresso. Pros & Cons Of Comandante Nitro Blade Manual Espresso Grinder Pros Every grinder is different. But the goal is to make espresso in 20 to 30 seconds. To achieve this, you need to find the perfect grind. This is the aforementioned internal burr adjustment, and it's such a clever, and useful feature, and one I very rarely hear anyone talking about.

Pour-over — aka drip coffee, manual percolation, manual drip, or filter brew — is the oldest form of percolation brewing. It traces its roots to ancient Ethiopia and Yemen — where traditional brewing methods involved pouring hot water over ground coffee in a controlled manner. Being espresso capable isn't the only pro for the Smart Grinder Pro, though. It's one of the most user-friendly grinders I've ever used, and this is something Sage are really good at. The V60 is a popular pour-over coffee brewing device that was created by the Japanese company Hario. Its name comes from its V-shaped 60 degree cone design. Made of either ceramic, glass, plastic, or stainless steel, the inner walls of the dripper has iconic spiral grooves that allow for a slower and controlled water flow that facilitate a more even extraction.

I was using the double shot basket, so it was obvious to me that I needed to press the 2 shots button. By the way, the reason the text “shots/cups” appears under this button, if you're grinding for espresso the digital screen will display “shots” allowing you to toggle between 1 and 2 cups, for the single or double shot baskets, and if you're grinding for manual brew methods this will change on the screen to “cups”. Have I mentioned how smart this grinder is!? 😉 You will have to have change the grind as you make the first espresso and alter it either finer or coarser to brew the perfect espresso. It also comes with a high-temperature overload switch to prevent harm if any hard object gets caught in the burrs. The flat burrs and motor perform admirably as a solid burr grinder for home baristas, and they are an excellent place to start. The accurate electronic timer helps you remember how long you grind your beans the last time the machine was used and keeps it running until reset.Measuring grind size is difficult. Not just because particles are tiny and numerous — but because any grinder on any setting produces a range of particle sizes and shapes. A single value cannot be an accurate description of every particle. So instead of trying to describe the size of coffee grounds, we have designed this tool as a new approach to make your coffee brewing easier and more comprehensible.
