New Coffee Grinders at the 2023 SCA ExpoDaily Coffee News by Roast Magazine

Been looking hardfor suitable grinder for using with my batch brewers, particularly in a portable setting. Everything I had seen was either a moster beast to lug about, and costing two to thre thousand dollars, or a light duty slow home tpe unit that just did not stand up to grinding multiple110 plus doses of beans at a go.I happened across the Pinecone Piñon at the GH booth. One of the designer/builder chaps from Swotzerland put it through its paces for me, demonstrating what it can do and how it works. When I asked the dreaded question the number he put back to me ws about half what I was expecting. I examined the burr set, played with the hopper and lock,asked the capcities of the bean and grounds hoppers. I came back Sunday early afternoon. One of the four units on display had been launched into the coffee world. I walked out with the second one. So far it seems custom designed for my particular setting and workflow. I am VERY pleased. A real workhorse, fast throughput, accurate grind, wide range of particle size adjustment, relatively lightweight (yet substantial.. not a plastic toy) , compact but not dainty, quieter than I had expected. And Swiss designed and built.
