Sage the Dose Control Pro Coffee Grinder Electric, BCG600SIL, Silver

Product Information

If I've just confused you re baskets, pressurized baskets come with the most entry-level domestic espresso machines, They're easy & convenient, but they don't give the user the ability to tweak things towards perfection, which is known as “dialing in”. If you want that level of control, you'll need standard, traditional baskets, and working with this kind of basket requires more of the grinder. A perfect grind should be finer than sugar but not too fine that it clumps together. If the espresso takes too long to extract, then grind it finer.

If spending a few hundred pounds on a coffee grinder is a bit over the top for your budget, there are some lower-cost options that will produce a good cup of espresso and will combine well with any machine that doesn't have an integrated grinder. This article explains more in detail: For example, I’m usually looking for 18g for a double shot, and I usually start out with a grind size of about 12, and a timing of about 17.5 seconds, which will usually get me close to 18g, and I’ll weight it, and then either take a bit out or grind a bit more. The timing will change from bean to bean, which is why you can’t purely rely on timing. Depending on what your routine, equipment, method and technique is, your grind size requirement will vary. We recommend that you start at a medium grind size level, and find the right setting from there. Moka pot A medium to medium-fine grind size — 375-800 microns — allows for a steady flow of water through the coffee bed, preventing excessive clogging, slow filtration, or fine particles from entering the lower chamber. V60 It's just ridiculously user-friendly, and that's the main thing I have to say about most Sage machines, really, they seem to think of just about everything to make them as idiot-proof as possible, although to be fair even Sage couldn't do quite a good enough job of that with this idiot, as I couldn't figure out to start with how to get the Gaggia classic portafilter to rest in the portafilter cradle.

Features & Benefits

If you've not used a grinder before, you might be slightly intimidated when you first get any coffee grinder out of the box, as grinding coffee beans seems like quite a geeky & complex thing to do, to the uninitiated. Looking at all the dials and buttons on the SGP I must admit did set the alarm bells going, to begin with, but I soon discovered how simple it is. That being said, I am a drummer, and for many years I didn't wear earplugs when I really should have, and I'm a loud drummer, the guitarists in the bands I've been in have been just as loud, so my hearing isn't the greatest. This coffee grinder is best paired with Duo Temp Pro if you don’t want to spend much money on an entry-level kit.

The Dose Control Pro isn’t just a grinder; it’s a comprehensive coffee solution. Every accessory and extra has been thoughtfully included, ensuring that users have everything they need to craft the perfect cup, time after time. Pricing and Value Proposition This grinder is a versatile espresso grinder because you can also operate it to manually grind fine or coarse beans for your espresso or French Press coffee. The manual mechanism of this grinder allows you to have total control over how much coffee beans the hopper dispenses. There are methods for finding the average size of particles, but these methods are either painstaking or require the use of expensive equipment (like a laser particle diffraction analyser). The coffee grind size chart What I mean by this, is that the hopper on the Smart grinder pro is great as hoppers go, in fact overall it's probably one of the best hoppers I've seen, but hoppers should in my opinion be used as temporary storage only, and not as permanent storage solutions. Filter coffee machine and drip coffee machine are general terms for any electrical coffee brewer that uses a percolation or pour over mechanism.
