【Kasasagi Owner - a Champion Barista and Judge in the Specialty Coffee World】
The speaker in the video is Kasasagi Owner, a leading figure in Taiwan’s coffee industry.
He earned second place in the 2022 WCE Taiwan Roasting Championship and is the founder of Kasasagi Coffee Roasters and Remember Me Café.
As a certified judge for major coffee competitions, Kasasagi Owner brings strong sensory evaluation skills to the table. He also regularly shares approachable and informative coffee content with his audience on YouTube.
【Global Voltage Compatibility for International Use】
Kasasagi Owner highlights the A68 electric grinder supports a wide voltage range from 110V to 220V, which makes it compatible with most power standards worldwide. This also explains the slightly larger size of its power adapter[1].
Based on his experience, variations in voltage can directly affect motor torque output, and machines limited to a single voltage standard may suffer serious damage if connected to the wrong voltage source.
Kasasagi Owner appreciates how Femobook addressed this potential issue during the design phase, showing thoughtful attention to user needs.

【A Electric Coffee Grinder that is the Pride of Taiwan】
Kasasagi Owner points out that compared to grinders priced over 1200 USD, the A68 offers better value at under 800 USD.
In the past, while making a “One plus One” in cafés using expensive grinders from other brands, it often took extra beans and more trial-and-error to dial in the ideal extraction[1].
This enhances the flavor of single-origin lattes and cappuccinos with more balance and reliability.
Kasasagi Owner also shares that the A68 is fully made in Taiwan, making it a high-performance, high-value grinder suitable for both home and commercial use.
Furthermore, it was chosen as the official grinder for the World Coffee in Good Spirits Championship (WCIGS).
For him, the A68 is not just a product that represents Taiwan, but also a smart investment for café owners.

【68 mm Burrs, Espresso Grinding in Just Seconds】
Based on Kasasagi Owner’s hands-on use, the A68 performs exceptionally well with espresso. It is equipped with large 68mm conical burrs that can grind a single espresso dose in about 18 seconds.
He also mentions that the grind is fine, uniform, and benefits from a highly precise adjustment mechanism. After grinding, a few taps on the grind chute are all it takes to neatly direct the grounds into the cup[1].

【Kasasagi Owner’s Review: A High-Performance Grinder with No Flaws at This Price】
Kasasagi Owner explains that the A68 uses a 60 RPM low-speed motor that produces highly uniform grinds. For pour-over, it offers excellent mouthfeel, sweetness, and balance.
Although the acidity may be more restrained compared to more expensive grinders, this makes it ideal for those who prefer smoother, less acidic coffee.
When it comes to espresso, the A68 has a wide grind range that supports both expresso shots and milk-based drinks.
In his opinion, its flavor performance surpasses that of many higher-priced models. The design is also compact, stylish, and space-saving, adding to its overall practicality.
He concludes by saying, “At this price point, the A68 really has no flaws. It is one of the best value grinders available on the market.”
