The DeLonghi KG79 burr coffee grinder is a high-performing model that reliably produces fine, flavorful coffee grounds. The KG79 has a removable burr, which makes it easy to clean and maintain. The burr is made of stainless steel, which is durable and long-lasting. The machine also comes with a cleaning brush, which you can use to clean the burr and other parts of the machine. Performance of DeLonghi Burr Coffee Grinder KG79

If you're wanting to grind for manual brew methods such as Cafetiere, Aeropress, filter, etc., and if you're on a tight budget, then the KG79 will just about do, in my humble opinion. You could do better, but only by spending a bit more – or by going for a manual grinder. You can get better grind quality at this kind of price with manual grinders. If I were going to use this grinder for espresso, I'd definitely want to do the mod above to turn it into an on-demand grinder to grind directly into the basket. It basically involves gluing down the sensor that tells the grinder the grinds container is in place and fitting a piece of pipe to extend the grinds chute out into your portafilter. The size of the burrs comes into it, as does the cut of the burrs, meaning how the teeth (for want of a better word) on the burrs are shaped, but speed when it comes to the burrs is something that manufacturers of quality grinders often work hard to reduce, not increase. In case you're not familiar with retention, grinds retention, or more specifically what's known as “exchanged retention”, refers to the coffee that ends up in your basket, or your brewer, or whatever, the next time you use the grinder. What this means is that if we don't want to use some stale coffee when we brew for the first time of the day, we need to purge some coffee to ditch that exchanged retention, and we also have to purge each time we adjust the grind, or we'll be using a mix of grind sizes. There are only 15 grinding steps, and moving the burrs closer together means it can grind finer, but it doesn't make the adjustments any smaller. When I've dialed in with this grinder, I've easily got into what I refer to as “ballpark dialed in” but the grinding steps aren't small enough to really precisely dial in as you'd be able to do with stepless adjustment or a much bigger number of smaller steps.The MD15 from Gaggia is a conical burr grinder that Gaggia launched specifically for their lower-end espresso machines, the Gran Gaggia, Carezza, and Viva, and for the Gaggia Classic Pro with the pressurized baskets (the Classic Pro comes with both standard and dual walled pressurized baskets. See the note about shims below, though, for traditional baskets.

So this is definitely not a professional burr grinder, and I really don't need it needs to be marketed as such. This is the latest “Zero” option from Eureka, and while the Oro Zero (below) is the zero retention version of the Mignon XL with the bigger, “diamond inside” burrs, this is the Zero retention single doser version of the Mignon Specialita, and at the price point they've set it at, I think it's a very interesting alternative to the Niche Zero. This is among the cheapest burr coffee grinders you'll find, and it's one of the best selling low cost burr grinders in the UK, and has been for some time.

DeLonghi KG79 Review

Barista & Co have come up with a different, and quite intriguing design for this coffee grinder, with a removable grinding unit. This part can be easily removed to clean, which means it can be easily replaced too. With the second generation gearbox, the Encore is more durable and quieter than the first version, and Baratza apparently did some really vigorous testing of the failsafe built in to stop the grinder from breaking if foreign objects end up in the burrs, by trying to grind metal screws, which lead to everything stopping instantly and the thermal cutout being triggered, with no damage to the gears or the motor. The Encore has been a hugely successful entry level grinder, but with 40 relatively large grinding steps and a range that doesn't go quite fine enough for most espresso machines using traditional baskets, it was never really designed for espresso. So what they've done is devised a wa As I've mentioned this is one of the grinders that have these blunt grinding wheels, and while in theory, I'd rather have burrs than blades, and at least you can select a grind size with these, the fact is that they're really crushing the beans rather than grinding them.

OK so next we're moving on to what I refer to as “grinding wheel” grinders. These are sold as burr grinders, and OK, I suppose they do have burrs, but they're what the brands themselves tend to refer to as “grinding wheels”, and what they all have in common is that they have round grinding disks which are relatively blunt. In terms of value for money, in my opinion, more money has been put into features here, than build quality. If you just want a fairly simple grinder that will keep on working well for years, and you're not as fussed about features, namely the inbuilt scales, then you might be better in the long term with the Wilfa Svart or Wilfa Svart precision, given that they both come with 5 year warranty. Wir unterscheiden zwischen der oberflächlichen und der gründlichen Reinigung. Erstere kannst du ganz einfach mit einem Staubsauger und etwas Reinigungsgranulat durchführen. Hierfür am besten den Mahlstempel entfernen und mit einem Pinsel die Mahlscheiben reinigen. Du kannst dann mit dem Granulat einen Mahlvorgang starten und anschließend den Mahlraum mit einem Staubsaugerrohr reinigen, sodass Reste entfernt werden. Dies ist bei den Mühlen KG79 und KG89 von De’Longhi problemlos möglich. Die Reinigungstabletten, z.B. von Grindz greifen sorgen dafür, dass Kaffeeöle in der Maschine gebunden werden.They come with higher pressure (usually 15 bars) and pressurised or pressured baskets, AKA dual walled baskets, which force all of the espresso under higher pressure, through a small hole. The bellows and the lid leave a bit to be desired, I think this is the worst feature of the grinder where looks are concerned, the main body of the grinder looks really good for the money, but they do the job, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It’s the ideal Christmas gift for your loved ones. Or just treat yourself and say goodbye to bad coffees forever. Strangely, this grinder is louder without beans than with beans, which is a bit of an odd one ;-). I used a decibel app on my phone and at about a meter away, I got between 90-95 decibels.
