C EADO G RINDER R EVIEW
Single Dosing Grind Quality (post
modification)
In a word, superb, the grinder comes into it's
own when used this way in the home. Pre
modification it was a hard to adjust, massive
retention, difficult to use grinder. Now, it's
simple to adjust grind, the effects of which are
seen immediately and the burrs are always empty,
so you can adjust the grind without needing to run
the grinder. The retention is minimal and the grind
always completely fresh.
Grind quality I can only describe as excellent, it
looks good, extracts well and the taste is fantastic.
It's the best grind quality of any grinder I have used
and I think it will get better as the burrs "run in" a
little more. Ceado claim it only needs 4-5kg to
season the burrs, but I suspect it's a little bit more
than that.
Conclusion
Removing the flap in the exit chute and single
dosing the E92 has a few advantages:
• The effect of grind adjustments are seen
almost immediately
• only 5g of coffee is wasted for each double
shot pulled.
I think these losses are completely acceptable for
the improvement in grind quality.
The disadvantage is in time...as the whole grinding
process takes far longer, but I guess that doesn't
matter so much in the home environment. It would
probably add around 1 minute extra to my total time
to make a double shot of espresso.
If you decide to get one, then it's even more
important for Ceado to offer a "no hopper option",
because in the home you will have no use for a
hopper.
E92 or E37S...it's a really difficult one for me.
E37S
Pros Cons
Very easy to use Not good at single
dosing
No need to single dose
Cheaper
Great grind quality
Very small for 83mm
burr size
E92
Fantastic grind quality
More hassle to use
You have to single dose
in home environment
Much more Expensive
Very small for a 71mm
powered conical grinder
Very slow burr speed
(240 rpm)
Common sense would say get the E37S, the heart
says "ah so what, it's a little bit of extra hassle to
single dose, but it's a great 71mm conical burr
grinder".
Well have a look at the photo on page 16, it's so
small for a "Titan" Class grinder. I really don't believe
there is any other powered 71mm conical burr
grinder this small...not only the height of the body,
but the depth of 290mm! Of course I'm buying the
E92, it's not the smart choice like the E37S, but I
don't think I'll ever find anything else so kitchen
friendly with such great grind quality. The heart
ruled the head on this one, a rare occurrence for
your reviewer!
Note: I have not given full technical information in
this review as this is all available from the rather nice
Ceado web site (link below).

Note: It was a hard choice and if I could have afforded to, I
would have liked to own both grinders.
