Pros

- Weber Key would be at the very top of that, and that's only if you want moderately better performance over a Niche Zero, for example.
- or a weber key if you want to invest in home decoration
- Weber Key is worth considering too
- I do love my Key and couldn't live without it to be fair. ... there's something about the feel of the Key.
Cons
- Parent context: Thanks for your answer!! So, do you think that the key is not so good for filtered, weber bird, etc? Reply: No, the Key is a conical grinder and will struggle with that for sure.

It has all the polish and fit and finish of a Weber Workshops product. It is beautiful and very well made. Slim too, which is a nice difference from the massive EG1. With that said the main issue with the design of the Key and the HG1, and any other grinder with a similar design, is that you are applying torque to one end of a long shaft that turns the conical burrs which are located at the other end.

Weber Key is worth considering too
