Gevi GrindMaster VelPro 400 Coffee Grinder
I'm currently testing the Gevi VelPro 400 stemless grinder and so far I am impressed. My daily driver is the Baratza Sette 270 which I have used for quite some time. I'm comparing the Gevi to my Baratza and the Gevi has made better coffee! My main takeaways is that the coffee I make highlights the beans a lot more: more clarity and less muddiness, which is a really eye opening and welcome treat!

My France vacation was drastically improved thanks to this little guy! Check out the video where I travel to France and Italy expecting to be in espresso heaven but was shocked to see that this little machine made better espresso!

This is my daily driver. Yes it's loud, but that's a small price to pay for the rock solid consistency of this grinder. First of all, it actually has zero retention, which is amazing. Second, it also grinds exactly the same. Partly that's the zero retention, but also the grind settings stay where you put 'em. I love it.
I love my normcore tamper and I don't think I'll really bother looking elsewhere. Easily replaceable springs (I use the 30lb but might move to the 25lb because I'm getting old). A great click sound lets you know you're done. And the keep flat actually works.
I use this WDT tool because it replaces the funnel and the manual tool. Anytime I can replace two tools with one, I'll go for it. This one is planetary and it does a great job.
I love this little thermometer! It has upped my milk and americano steaming game. No longer must I burn my hand while trying to figure out temps. Hot cocoa? My girls like it at 155°F. Americano? I like it at 170°F. No sweat with this little guy! Brings the consistency I need to everyday coffee making!
