Ceado Grinder Review v1.5.doc 23 Sep-14 Page 13 of 20
Information Technology Solutions
C EADO G RINDER R EVIEW
CEADO E92 (71mm Conical
Burrs)
This grinder is also particularly small in the body and
not very deep. It does come with a ridiculous sized
hopper for home use, which almost doubles the
grinders height to around 630mm high. Using the
Mazzer Mini small hopper, it comes out at a far
more kitchen friendly 51.5cm, with a depth of
only 290mm (right to the tip of the grounds catcher
tray). Again the Mazzer Mini E (a generally accepted
kitchen friendly grinder) is actually 50mm deeper
with it's grounds catcher tray! The fly in the
ointment here of course is, the Ceado E92S won't fit
under standard height kitchen cupboards, but it will
go in front of them and still allow you to open the
doors. I did briefly have a Compak K8Fresh which
was about the same height, but a lot bulkier. It was
so deep that you could not safely put in front of the
cupboards on a standard countertop. The front
rubber feet were only half on and the grinder body
overhung the standard depth worktop....but then a
Compak K8 fresh with it's 83mm flat burrs is
400mm deep at the base!
Finish and Packaging
This grinder also come in a Sturdy cardboard box
and the main packaging is identical to the E37S, so
the same issues apply
The exterior finish is identical to the E37S.
Quality control
This grinder has absolutely no quality control
faults of any kind!
General Operation
Noise Levels
Ceado claim this is a very quiet grinder and I have to
agree with them. In fact I can confidently say this is
even quieter than the E37S apart from the cooling
fan. This fan is just on all the time and I think fairly
obtrusive. I don't know why they didn't have it on
a timer, to shut off if no grinding takes place for
5 minutes. If using this in a domestic environment
you would be wishing CEADO had put in a "fan off"
switch for low volume use.
Ease of use
This is not such an easy grinder to use in the home.
The controls and software is exactly the same as the
E37S, the difficulties come in managing a large
conical grinder with a high degree of retention.
Grind adjustment
The grind adjustment mechanism is identical to the
E37S. It's easy to use (with the retention caveat)
and fairly clear. The lever is fairly easy to move,
when I saw the video I was a bit worried that it might
be too easy to move, but no...it's exactly right. It's
also very clear to see where you are.
Dosing
The grinder itself is very easy to use, nice and
simple and the dosing system works well and is
fairly accurate with only a small dose variance. Even
when the level of beans in the hopper is fairly low
e.g. just visible at the neck of the grinder, it doses
OK, with no real "pop-corning". This was no doubt
assisted by the little propeller on top which drives
the beans downwards into the burrs.
Like the Ceado E37S there is a hinged metal flap
from the burr chamber, but no adjustment screw, or
tensioning flap. The grinds have no evidence of
clumps or static.
Single Dosing
The practice of putting a measured amount of beans
into the grinder, and grinding until no more coffee
comes out. Many people like to single dose and
although you can single dose this grinder, it's not
recommended when left as standard.
