TIMEMORESculptor 064S Flat Burr Coffee Bean Grinder, Electric Espresso Grinder with Stepless Coarseness Adjustment, Suitable for Pour over, French Press, Cold Brew - White

So this is a very highly rated coffee grinder. They have increased the price quite a bit since it first came out but I think they have upgraded it in general. I have the 64s which is slanted towards espresso though I use it for pour over and I have it a number 11 so it's fine for both espresso and filter or pour over types. Quality of the grind is great. It's very consistent. I see on line complaints about popcorning beans but I see that no more than most others and also the catch cup though it is substantial though small. I normally use 55g of beans to I got the optional hopper and I have a magic shaker I use for the grounds. The release feature works great. I keep it set at 1000rpm and have no issues with stalling. Just make sure you start machine first to rev up. My beans are city so... Coffee tastes great. Motor is very quiet without beans and moderately quiet grinding. I've seen folks complain on line about it sounding tinny and cheap but in person that is not the case at all.You won't go wrong with this machine

After several failed grinders from competitors with similar designs I purchased this grinder and I haven't looked back since. Amazing design, effortless grind, flawless performance. Everything it's competitors tout but couldnt deliver. If you love to dial in your espresso game, or go from French press to pour over, this it the grinder for the job.

Huge upgrade when compared to the built in Breville grinder. More powerful and able to grind light roasts. Shots are well balanced and less astringent. Only issue is the range to dial in for espresso is very small (3.5-4.5) but it is easy to make small adjustments

I thought about it for a while before I wrote this review. So many people LOVED their Timemore 064s units, I was convinced I would have loved mine too...but that just wasn't the case. I had to take the unit apart repeatedly (at least every 2 days) because it would moosh my coffee beans into a paste in the burrs, causing the unit to jam. This didn't happen if I slowly fed like one bean in at a time...but who has time for that...at the price of this grinder, there is no excuse for it not to be able to buzz right through 18g of dark roast coffee beans on a hot start! I was not grinding green coffee beans or anything ridiculous.It was kind of a pain to clean as a result, although I got VERY good at dismantling those 6 little screws on the face plate (T handle 3mm allen wrench FTW, don't use a screw gun, that's asking for problems) and I never had any issues removing the front burr plate, using a stiff plastic pokey stick and a stiff brush to clean the unit out, then I used my vacuum cleaner to suck out everything that was left over.The motor is quiet, the grinder itself is easy to use, and the design is freaking beautiful! I so wanted to love this thing, but it just lacked the ability to consistently grind coffee beans without turning them into a big mess, and then jamming...and at 5:30 in the morning, you don't want to be dismantling your grinder...you want to be drinking your espresso.

An excellent espresso grinder. I used it in the 3.5 range for espresso. Can also do pour over closer to a 7 or 8 on the dial

The grind settings came a little larger than I needed out of the box which was easy to change. You just pull the front plate off and adjust the dial settings larger or smaller. The burrs have a wide range of adjustability so you can have one grinder for pretty much any style of coffee you want. Feels very solidly built but I do wish the top loading hopper funnel was nicer instead of plastic.

This is a very good grinder and it has a lot of useful features. I think its still a bit overpriced for what your paying as other grinders have more powerful motors but its very quiet and efficient. The hopper is my main point of complaint as beans can occasionally get stuck on them as well as the auger feeding beans to the burrs occasionally holding on to beans meaning you get surprise coffee when using the grinder

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This item was returned for a refund. It is very difficult to get support on this product. The documentation/manual is a joke. You have to email China for help and frequently wait a week to get an email answer back. I kept questioning about why there was .5 to 1.8g of my dose that was held in the knocker and did not make it to the grinds cup on each 18g dose. I never received a straight answer. The advertising is that it has a very low retention rate with .1 to .3g. I was not getting that, and so I had to return the unit because it was not working as promised. Furthermore, this grinder is not easy to clean, and the dial wheel is difficult to reassemble. To perform a deep cleaning and access the flat burrs, you must undo six screws with an Allen wrench. The red mark on the side designating your dial-in setting is difficult to see from the front, which makes it challenging to line up and change the dial-in settings. This unit has a RPM knob and the manual does not give any mention of how to adjust it or how it affects the grind. The workflow is cumbersome and the unit shuts off after one minute. The grind speed is slower than I expected too.
