| Hands-on evidence | Kaffeemacher: Their purchased-unit test found precise grind distribution and a combination of flavor separation and body with SSP High Uniformity burrs. Careful puck preparation mattered, and filter testing was more limited. Home-Barista / Jim Schulman: The reviewer praised simple chute clearing and easy cleaning, and measured little retained coffee in the tested unit. The stock workflow used a catch cup rather than portafilter forks. | Manufacturer or seller evidence; independent review synthesis pending. |
