- If your budget can accommodate it, consider Fiorenzato All Ground Sense or Eureka Atom W 65 or 75 as alternatives to the Libra.
Cons
- As a machinist, I dug into this deeper, instrumenting the rotating components with dial test indicators etc. and confirmed my suspicions... the entire unit vibrates as though the burrs are misbalanced or the motor shaft is not concentric...
- Cleaning Difficulty: Disassembling the burr chamber for necessary deep cleaning is a chore. It’s messy, complicated, requires the use of tools to remove screws, and loses the already dialed-in grind setting.

The Atom W 75 is a compact grind-by-weight machine with a 450-watt motor that can spit out 20 grams of espresso grind in about 4 seconds to an exact weight. And it’s sleek and nice to look at...

The Tiny Adjustment Dial: The grind adjustment is controlled by a small, often stiff, external dial knob on the top of the machine... In practice I found that making fine-tuning adjustments is a fiddly, frustrating process.
