• The host prefers the 078 burrs over the 078S burrs for the specific Kenya coffee tasted in the video, finding the 078 brought out more brightness and juiciness.
• The EK43 is a very fast grinder, but its practicality for home use is questioned due to its size and price. The host found the 078 to be preferable to the EK43 in his initial taste test.
• The DF64V with MP burrs was tested, with the host suggesting that while good, the 83mm MP burrs and the 078 burrs were better suited for the tested Kenya coffee.
• The host emphasizes that grinder burr type and grind size are crucial for dialing in the perfect cup, and different coffees pair better with different burr sets.
