CoffeeGeek – Krups GVX Series Grinders – Maciek P's Review

Posted on by

I used this grinder with Gaggia Baby Class D, first with Illy and than with Starbucks coffie. very limited grain tuning possibilities made it almost impossible to pull good espresso shot. I could not control the grain size. When I found a good grind size this grinder could not keep it for more than a couple of shots. I had to learn to compensate it with the tamper. By the resistance of the ground coffie to tamper I was able to estimate the grind size and then press it less or more firmly. But very often it was not enough. sometimes 1 minute to produce several drops of espresso or 15 seconds to produce a full cup. if the grind was to fine I had to stop and start my espresso machine two or three times to get ristretto. But sometimes the shot was perfect, unfortunately it was very difficult to repeat it.

Krups is just a waste of time. I want to buy Ascaso, Rocky or something else.
