Pros

  • In order to significantly beat it, you need to spend big bucks for something like a KafaTek MC6 or Weber Key.
  • 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.
  • They make nice coffee from what I’ve had at friends places. The knocks I’ve heard mostly are around a little bit of fiddly workflow and with the gen 1 version stalling.
  • I think it’s the key, especially Mk 1 which had a lot of negative feedback, is not worth the gamble.
  • 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, a...
  • Ashy, bitter mess at high RPM. Slightly less ashy, bitter mess at low RPM. Espresso only, couldn't bear to try filter. (sorry, I really hate Mazzer conicals)

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.

I mean you could for example get a Weber key for conical and a df83v with a set of different flat burrs
