Great for home use

I have been using a WPM grinder for last few years. I got it along with a KDE 310 espresso machine ( both used ) Am still learning with both. So this is an amateur review The Agaro grinder looks to be quite good for a home user. Because I got it today and haven’t brewed a coffee yet, can’t offer any comments on that. The packing is excellent, and the design looks good too. It’s intuitive. I don’t store beans in the hopper. In fact when you have a grinder I makes better sense to grind well stored beans just before use. I am also a coffee roaster and concerned about my beans aging too quickly ( and storing in a hopper isn’t appealing!) A light roast bean grinds different form a medium roast, and as it goes darker the results change too. As does the flavor of the coffee when we change the burr gaps. Also taste is quite personal. What one likes may not be all that exciting or maybe even disliked by another If spare burrs and after sales service are available, I think this will be a good entry level grinder. And as one goes along his or her journey into coffee, when the time comes, one can decide to go higher then ☕️ Update on July 10,2023: I have used the grinder a few times. It is easy to clean. I also like the fact that retention of coffee is very low. Almost minimal. Maybe less than a gram even at the finest espresso setting. One negative, nothing bad, just a minor nuisance, is that each time you switch on, it goes to a default 10 sec. And the maximum is 40 sec. So you can’t run it continuously. It may be an intentional design element to avoid overloading the motor. Another fault would be the short cord length. A bare minimum so there is no way you can keep it at length past other devices. This too isn’t a functional fault, a nuisance rather. The hopper lid locks in but easily wobbles off. So does the grinds container. But I don’t mind either. Because I weigh in the beans and catch the grinds in a small steel tumbler. Anyway, after two weeks of use, I am okay and happy.

I've been using this for over 6 months now and absolutely love it. I set it to fine grinding when I grind the beans for espresso. It takes much longer to do this fine grind but the powder is super smooth and not warm. I also grind for the French press with this and that finishes in a jiffy. Very easy and intuitive to use. Easy to clean too. Works fine for over 6 months now.

This is an entry level coffee grinder meant for general use. Will not work for espresso. The grind is not uniform but acceptable at this price point. Produces a bit of fines that impacts the flavour. It is easy to overlook it's faults, again considering the price. The service though is lacking. Contacted suport well within the warranty period, was asked to submit videos of the issue. Did all that and then the conversation just petered off. Repeated reminders did not receive any response. Stuck now with a unit that looks almost new but does not work.

When I said fabulous it comes with a giant caveat of the price it is being sold at. Under 6K INR (~$70) you cannot expect anything great. Important thing is does it punch above it's weight? Sure does and hemce the 5 stars. Without a doubt that for everyrhing other than espresso this will help you up your coffee game. Have tried grinding for Aeropress, French press, drip machine, mocha pot and cold brew. All gave flawless results. (You need to dial grind size not just go by whats marked on the machine) Now for espresso. I use two machines a Gaggia Espresso evolution and a Nespresso pod machine (Cofeezza) with Madama reusable pods. I have to use the finest setting 1 for both. Results on the nespresso pod are very acceptable. But you are drawing 30 gm of liquid from 5 gm of coffee so the coffee it is what nespresso is and i would compare it to results from standard indian pods. On the Gaggia, with the pressurised basket, I get a decent espresso. Pulls a tad too quickly about 18 secs. Is nice enough for making lattes or cappucinos but for an espresso or americano i need more. When using a non pressurised basket on grind setting 1 i can get a really good espresso with darker roasts. A very sour underextracted coffee pours from light or medium roasts. In summary. Perfect for everyrhing except espresso. While on espresso you are ok if using pressurised baskets or dark roasts. Super for nespresso reusable pods ..
