"This is a high-retention grinder" and "RDT doesn't really help" had me dying! The whole video is hilarious but those lines are criminally underrated

Lance, I can't believe you failed to mention the nutrition issue. When you grind with the SG1, some of the fines will be nearly microscopic bits of grinder stone. Then, whether you use a French Press (long exposure to the hot water) or an espresso machine (oh, that pressure!), some minerals from the stone-fines will leach out into the coffee. And then, Yes! You have essential minerals in your coffee! -toby

I like that you don't have to worry about buying 120 or 220 volt (also helpful for resale). One problem with all these reviews, though, is that they sneak in the accessories like the magic tumbler. I get that I can just buy the SG1, but now that I've seen the workflow with the tumbler, I feel like I have to get that too. P.S. The white set is like a shot of sunshine into the Lance Hedrick experience.

This is why Lance is arguably the best in the business. Nobody bothers to go into this level of depth these days. We've just witnessed the birth of IOB scale & I think it's time for the coffee community to start taking "Induced Operatic Baritone" seriously as a metric for coffee quality.

Funny to think that your entire career as a coffee professional and KZreadr has actually just been a lead up to your audition for Jean Vajean on Broadway. Pretty keen to see how the coffee based version of Les Miserables pans out.

I was not expecting content of the highest quality. I am going back to the old days. Thank you! New sub!

I have used one of this in India growing up for rice, and spice grinding. My parents had them handed down to them by their parents and grandparents

I was going to get these, but then I heard SSP were going to release polished marble burrs, that not only have more precise machined grooves, but really help with the retention issue.

Too bad you didn't get it earlier and co-ordinated the video release for April 1st. Very educational! You did get me curious how it would taste, I can't imagine the grind consistency being very uniform.

This grinder has been such a classic within societies for millennia! And modding is something enthusiasts have been doing all the time. One most common and useful mod was attaching a rotating handle on the upper burr, which vastly improves efficiency. Another popular one, albeit mostly among more prominent, affluent families, was attaching your livestock to the grinder and let it do all the work. The best thing about this mod is that you, the owner, is totally freed from the labour work.

Man, solid point about RPM control. It's almost harder to get this over 60 RPM.

Definitely interested, what about supply of spare parts, incase one of the stones chip? And how long does it take to season the stones?

For about 10 minutes I’m watching this thinking, “what on God’s green planet is going on? This must be fake but the history is so interesting so I will keep watching.” Then the opera during the tasting was the piece de resistance, utterly amazing and hilarious. Well done good sir, well done.
