I like mine to hold more beans, though. My personal lazy vs perfectionist scale is fine with it having not the most perfectly fresh beans.
If your buying this grade of grinder, your not getting much of the benefit of the added cost. If your not not using fresh beans and dosing consistently. These two things will have a bigger impact that the jump from encore/svart aroma to these types of grinders.
They make pretty consistent grinders that hold over a serving of beans.
For a home user, leaving beans in hoppers negates much of the improvement in coffee quality that higher end grinders may achieve.
If you want a big hopper, you may as well save some money and get something like a encore or svart aroma.
These grinders don’t have big hoppers because that’s an advantage. Smaller hoppers means you can single dose without beans bouncing about for too long. The people chasing cup quality that has them buying these more expensive coffee grinders will already be single dosing, and using fresh beans. Because that can have a disproportionate impact compared to the price difference of many grinders.
Sure, but op stated from the getgo he wasn't a coffee elitist. He just wants something to consistently make a couple different grinds.
