This video compares four coffee grinders—the Sculptor 078S, Zerno Z1, Niche Duo, and DF83—priced between $600 and $1200, all featuring large, flat burrs. The video provides overviews, taste tests (filter and espresso), and a final verdict for each grinder, including a discussion on burr types and their suitability for different brewing methods.
The transcript doesn't declare a single "best-tasting" grinder across all brewing methods. The reviewer's preferences and tasting notes varied depending on the grinder, the burr set used, and whether the coffee was brewed as filter or espresso. For example, the Sculptor 078 was praised for its juicy and clean filter coffee, while the DF83 excelled in espresso. The Zerno Z1 consistently received high marks for its filter coffee, sometimes surpassing even the 83mm burr grinders. Ultimately, the "best taste" is subjective and depends on individual preferences and brewing style.
