Tuni G2 grinder?
(lemmy.nz)
Does anyone here have experience with the Tuni G2 Conical Burr Coffee Grinder? My trusty Cuisinart finally gave up the ghost on me yesterday. I could replace it for 50 bucks, or upgrade to the Tuni G2 for about a hundred dollars. I can't really afford more than that. I like to make espresso, moka, french press, pour over, drip, and cold brew, so I need something that's versatile, reliable, and is easy to clean.
It seems like it'll give you what you want at an ok price. I wouldn't pay $150 new but$100 seems reasonable. You're rolling the dice on longevity and repairability though, maybe check if there are options to do that.
I had an Baratza encore that I had for a year and then upgraded the burrs. Then I wanted a second grinder for pour over and got a used encore for $45, but needed to replace a $5 part. I know that either can be easily and cheaply repaired.
You could do better but you could do worse. If you get it, do you mind sharing your thoughts on it?
I was not aware of the burr upgrade option before this so damn you for giving me another little project
It is very easy, as long as you use a drill for the last disassembly step. There are many videos on how to do it.
Even if you don't drink espresso, the burr upgrade significantly reduces the grind time while giving great results for pour over, imo.
There are some inexpensive bellows on Aliexpress for the encore as well, def worth the $6-8
I will definitely give an update with my thoughts on the machine if I buy it. Thanks for your reply!
