【Easy to Disassemble】
First, Mike mentions in the video that the entire A68 electric coffee grinder is made of aluminum alloy. The hopper at the top and the front burr holder are assembled using magnetic attachments, making them very easy to remove.
Next, Mike talks about the grounds collector ring below the burr holder. Not only is it easy to clean, but it also comes with a brush inside. You can easily clean the central shaft and burrs of coffee residue using an air blower and brush.
In addition to the magnetic design, Mike specifically points out that the key components of this grinder, such as the burrs, central shaft, and bearings, are all installed on a separate burr holder. It’s somewhat similar to a motor paired with a hand grinder.
So when he uses it, he doesn’t have to worry about whether the grinder parts are properly assembled.
【Streamlined Setup】
In the video, Mike mentions that the A68 electric coffee grinder requires minimal preparation, making it very convenient and user-friendly.
The diameter of the grounds container matches that of the portafilter (Note 1), allowing users to easily transfer the coffee grounds directly into the portafilter. After tamping, you can brew a perfect espresso right away.
Mike also highlights that he prefers not to worry about too many details or steps that could affect the brewing quality when making coffee, which can sometimes feel restrictive. The A68 grinder gives him confidence in its ease of use.
Additionally, Mike notes that while the power supply is somewhat large, if the cord feels too long, you can replace it with one of a more suitable length.
【Mike’s Overall Experience】
Mike believes that this electric coffee grinder is specifically designed for espresso, and he notes that the A68 performs exceptionally well when grinding for espresso.
However, even if you prefer brewing pour-over coffee, this grinder is still a great choice because adjusting the grind settings is very convenient. The only downside is that you’ll need to remember your previous settings, which makes the user experience a bit less intuitive.
Mike also mentions that there are many similar products on the market, and beyond just comparing prices, it’s important to consider whether this grinder truly meets your specific needs.
Using himself as an example, since he’s not very skilled at mechanical assembly, the tool-free design of the grinder makes it much easier for him to use without any hassle.
Although the A68’s power supply is relatively large, Mike finds it acceptable. In conclusion, he expresses that he really likes this electric coffee grinder!
