grinder

I tested 9 espresso grinders on a La Marzocco Linea Mini using VST refractometry and the same control bean. Here are the ranked results for UK buyers.

Baratza Forte reviewed by a coffee industry professional. We test AP and BG for espresso and filter, give used-market pricing, and a clear 2026 verdict.

4-week DF64 Gen 2 test on Gaggia Classic Pro. Weighed retention, decoded every OEM variant, compared to Niche Zero. Honest buy-or-skip verdict inside.

Tested on a Sage Barista Express and Niche Zero: exact grind settings per grinder, how to read a bad shot, and a clear step-by-step dial-in workflow.
