She had only one issue with the OXO, after grinding a lot of oily beans on a very hot and humid day, and after a year of use. The most precise way to measure coffee is to weigh it because beans are not all the same shape, size, or density. It’s so practical to have it just sitting on the counter already filled with beans as opposed to scooping it out each morning. Our continued strongest misgiving about this grinder is the quantity of chaff or debris that it leaves behind. he said it still handles “both small daily grinds for my Chemex and really big grinds for when I make a big batch of cold brew” without issue.

With each grinder, we used the Kruve tools to calibrate a medium-fine grind for drip coffee, and later to visually quantify which machines had the most grounds in the target range. Those beans leave more of a residue, which you need to remove occasionally (every few weeks, for oily beans) for peak flavor and grinder performance. For what it is worth, we ran several pounds of dark roast, oily beans through the newest iteration of the grinder in August, when heat and humidity were at their peak, and never once had a clogging issue. It might not sound like much, but given that the average serving of coffee is 10 grams, the C2 Max might give you three cups at a time, instead of two and a half.We also ground coffee with a simple Krups blade grinder to see what the opposite end of the spectrum looked like. In comparison to the range of grinds produced by the OXO (previous slide), the Capresso’s range is much narrower. You lose a little complexity, he notes, but you don’t get the bad, off-flavors that come with an inconsistent grind.

To confirm any information, we recommend to check the latest brochure for the product or contact us to learn more. A typical run with the Baratza for me is that I measure out 30 grams of coffee, dump them in the hopper, turn on the machine, let it run until it stops sounding like it’s grinding anything at all, and then turn it off.Please bear in mind that not all manufacturers provide correct imagery and we may put a similar or alternative image to the actual product for illustration purposes only.
