C EADO G RINDER R EVIEW
It can be made even smaller by using a modified
hopper (next photo). This was made from the top
half of a tea brewing device. Now the grinder will
easily fit under standard height cupboards,
without any problems. I don't think you could
say that about any other powered 71mm conical.
Also if you look carefully you can see some blue
tape on a fixed metal post, indicated by an arrow.
This is tape holding on a small magnet to defeat the
magnetic safety switch and allow the grinder to work
without the standard hopper. This post makes the
grinder 440mm high and is the minimum height
of the grinder with a tiny modified hopper.
Initial conclusions
I would have loved this grinder to be OK for the
home, I really wanted it to work. I have the option
of purchasing either grinder and my heart would
have loved what might be one of the better, if not
the best conical grinders available. However, for
me, I just cannot justify the grind quality gains
against the massive waste of coffee and the hassle
of dialling in the grind when coffees change. I think if
none of this matters to you, or you want to modify
the grinder (removal of anti static clumping device),
then perhaps it is the right grinder for you.
I personally wouldn't bother (would I?), it's just too
much hassle (or is it) to modify, single dose, pulse,
sweep, pulse etc.. every time I want a coffee. Of
course, you will read all the glowing comments on
the internet, perhaps even ones stating that this
review is completely incorrect. All I can say is please
remember I had both grinders and could compare
them side by side.
For the commercial environment it's intended
for, It's a superb grinder, the commercial user
would find hard to beat for; ease of use, great
warranty, performance and grind quality.
So E37S (83mm flat) or E92 (71mm conical),
are you buying either of them and why?
I have the option of buying either grinder, or sending
them both back. I currently own a Zenith 65E, a
grinder on a par with the Mazzer Super Jolly.
I did briefly have a K8 fresh on demand, but the size
was a problem, worse still the burrs were misaligned
and it didn't grind correctly. I have used or owned
Mazzer grinders (Mini, Mini E, Super Jolly), other
conicals and very large vertical flat burr grinders with
specialist burrs..
I found the E37S surprising, it's grind quality is
way better than my Zenith 65E. It's probably one
of the best large flat burr grinders in it's class,
delivering excellent quality in the cup. It's also
the most kitchen friendly of any large flat burr
grinder I have seen. I am buying the E37S, I
should...this is the one I should buy, if I had any
sense?
BUT!
I felt that I had to give the E92 a fair shake
against the other conical grinders out there,
because it is a really nice design. I know I said I
was not going to modify the grinder, but I did!
A metal flap is the only grind control device the E92
has in the chute. It has some very slight resistance
caused by a piece of rubber that presses down on
the hinge and holds it in place. It's not resistance
designed into it, it just creates some by virtue of the
friction of holding it in place. If this flap is left, it's
amazing how the grinds back up in the burr
chamber...well you saw the photos on page 14.
