    Retention is the leftovers inside the burr chamber and along the chute when the grinder is supposed to be empty.

      Makes no sense the measurement they did for "retention" 🙄 which is very simple to measure, weigh 18g of beans place in hopper, grind, weigh ground coffee that comes out. I thought these folks were supposed to be coffee aficionados 😒

    It’d be great if you could talk about taste with your Grider video comparisons as that’s probably one of the biggest reasons why people would want to go with bigger burrs.

  • @pumpkineater23
    @pumpkineater23 Рік тому

    Retention is the amount of ground coffee left in the machine, not the beans left in the burrs. It doesn't matter if the beans are in the burrs or in the hopper, they're still beans. The problem is the beans that have been ground. And then that coffee sitting around in the machine for a period of time. Ground coffee loses its freshness and then finds its way into the portafilter the following day/hours later.

    • @BensCoffeeRants
      @BensCoffeeRants 3 роки тому

      Probably less retention on the XL but more flavour clarity on the Atom 75 due to the larger burrs.

      i would really suggest a hand grinder if u need that level of quietness. it dosent cost u more than a min to grind even 20g of fitter coffee size. Consider u may also need to boil the water, u can just wait for the water to heat up when u are hand grinding ur coffee

    • @NickAlbano253
      @NickAlbano253 3 роки тому

      Both, but keep in mind that when you’re going from espresso to filtered coffee, it can be a bit finicky. In order to make finer adjustments back to espresso, you have to run the grinder counterclockwise while the grinder is running.

  • @falcon81701
    @falcon81701 3 роки тому

    I considered both but chose the Specialita as the XL cost 60% more and the slightly lower hight suits my space. I single dose and the retention is very low. Its like a small pinch of coffee and is mainly from the chute. A small tap of the side of the machine can get it out however i dont bother.

    I am dying to see some science on the diamond inside. I think it's a recent invention. If they are to compete with SSP and redspeeed this could be huge

    • @paviaaPS3
      @paviaaPS3 3 роки тому +1

      No, it’s nothing special other than a steel treatment giving it harder surface!

    • @BensCoffeeRants
      @BensCoffeeRants 3 роки тому

      No actual diamonds used, it greatly extends the life of the burrs, but SSP / redspeed burrs have an longer lifespan, really it doesn't matter for home use, standard steel burs might be good for 10-20 years , Diamond Treated maybe 50-80, Redspeed maybe 80 - 100 years . Something like that anyway.
      I suspect the down side of a harder burr or coating is that it also takes longer to season and start tasting best.

      yes..you are corect. and when you close the hopper the better grinder gives the most grounds..and that is tge XL that released 16 grams and not the specialita that released only 13 grams (it means that at least more thant 3 grams are retained in the burrs area )

      It is a posibility yes. But it is not only that. The diameter of the funnel that brings the beans to the burrs is the same in the 2 grinders. Only the ground chamber (the hole of ths burrs) is slightly bigger in the XL but not that big to give 3 grams more...my opinion
