![]() ![]() I really would advise buying it in the uK, as opposed to cafe itaiia ( where I presumed you got the £1700 price from ) as I have heard inconsistent service levels from them. If you are comfortable with £1900 on a new grinder ( be warned it will dump money at that price if you try and sell it, close to £4-500 i would guess straight off the bat ) then that is all good. Cafe's get way better deals, through wholesale accounts and keeping the Vat in other parts of the business. New, new prices for Grinders for the Clima Pro are expensive, especially for something that you aint gonna use the functionality of ( the heater ). If I were you - given you want to single dose and you enjoy brewed - I'd go for the EK - see if you can live with it as there is potential for meeting all your needs within one grinder. For me, results in the cup are no better (at least when using the RedSpeed burrs in the Compak) - if we thought they were, we'd be running one in the cafe but n doubt others will have opinions about that too. The Mythos is several hundred pounds more expensive than the E8 - it's up to individuals as to whether they think it's worth paying. It's about how much you want to spend and what aesthetic you are looking for too. The Mythos is a great grinder, no doubt about that - we've had them, used them, liked them etc etc. I don't know what feedback you have seen and the whole 'my grinder is better than your grinder' stuff will go on till the end of time no doubt. There is a tonne of info about the EK43 on here so maybe worth you looking at some of that stuff. Good results are possible no doubt but it can be frustrating and you need to be happy with more diluted espresso in general. The EK is in a league of it's own - it's just different to other grinders when using for espresso. We use these with our Londinium commercial machines in the cafe and they're solid. The Compak E8 is also a good option for you (disclaimer: we are a distributor for those) and considerably less money than a Mythos. It's pretty, superbly engineered and grinds coffee really well. ![]() If you're thinking about a coffee or two a day, I'd suggest looking at something like an HG-ONE. The Mythos would give you good results but the heating element is pointless in a domestic setting and uses a fair bit of electric too - essentially, you'd be paying for a feature that you would probably leave disconnected. It does give you the advantage of being able to use it to make amazing brewed coffee as well though - In that sense the EK is actually pretty good value. The EK43 is an option but it's a steep learning curve and completely different to using an on demand grinder. It'll depend to a large degree on whether you intend to single dose or whether you are happy to run an on demand grinder the way in which they are designed to be used. ![]()
