- Hey everyone I know it been awhile since uploading a video. But today I wanted to make a video that’s long overdue for the Eureka Crono giving this awesome grinder the recognition it deserves! Hopefully you all find it informative and seeing why it’s my daily driver!
Thanks for the video! I just picked this exact one up (same color too) and was looking for a dial reference point and it looks like I'm on the right track! Mine is just a hair above 0, but I'm already super impressed with how fine it's able to grind.
Glad I could help! It’s a great machine and I remember that’s where my zero point was at 👌
Great vid. I bought this model for a second grinder I have the specialista but I do a lot of different coffees so the Crono will be for Italian single roast only.
I bought one and it only does espresso. Honestly I have trouble going to a cafe or coffee shop. It's hard to find a shot of espresso I love more than what comes out of my home setup. The shot length is very consistent, so is the flavor. I prefer chocolate notes, I do not prefer nutty flavored shots. I am using medium to light locally roasted beans pretty exclusively.
love to hear this
Great video. I just bought the same grinder recently and would like to know how dial it for espresso. A new video would be great. Thanks
I just ordered a Eureka Filtro for $199 after getting a lot of conflicting info. Seattle Coffee Gear says it won't work for espresso. WholeLatteLove insists it will. Clive Coffee in Portland had 2 different people telling me opposite opinions. I really appreciate your vid and your mellow vibes, good content. I'm excited to dial it in!
Hope it works out for you, sadly the newer ones have the filter burrs, but I lucked out before they changed it, but you can purchase them separately
@@CCCulture947 so are you saying that the old burrs are the same as the espresso replacement burrs?
I have same grinder . I installed standart burrs instead of filtro pro. Specialete has better speed and grinding sound.
Can we get a video on how beard length effects the extraction process of the finer nuances and taste of specific coffee beans?
That’s very helpful thank you so much 😊
Glad it was helpful!
What I've read on line is the burrs are the same in Crono as the Eureka Mignon Espresso Grinder, I have the Eureka Mignon Facile Espresso Grinder a nice grinder and very quite but it did cost $399 :)
I think the only difference in the eureka line up in the 50mm burrs is the difference is in usability too
This is a great that I was looking for . The only problem that I know is new model chronos doesn't have espresso future any more. I'm not sure if you can fix it with burr upgrade.
I do believe that they sell the 50 mm burr set for around 30 dollars
Pump's 9 bar is somewhere around 8 bars on group where you brew. You have to try a bit finer grind to meet 9.5-10 on pump ;)
I don't think that's what he was going after
Thank You for the video, are you at the finest selection of the machine? or do you have room to go finer if needed?
20 grams heavy duty heavy duty. Great vid
Thanks! 👍
Is it easy to adjust from espresso to filter grind and get back to espresso? I use to drink both.
Thanks for the review. How is the dial in process lets say if i wanted to switch from espresso grind to a filter coffee setting?? I would like something that I can switch back and forth quickly without having to own two grinders.
The truth is it’s not the easiest thing to do but it is possible you just need to count how many turns you did to return to your previous grind setting
Their websites says it's not suitable for espresso grinding but only for drip and french press, I wonder why
It is probably their way to upsell the higher end machines 🤷♂️
What he said
We need more videos from you
I know, I wish I could make more videos but I always make them when I have time.
Nice video man, I have the same machine, and I cant get 9 bars of pressure, why's that? if for the grind size?, it get stuck in 2-3 bars, that's it
You gotta grind finer to reach the 9 bar
I'm considering getting the Filtro (the Chrono minus timer) as I can find it for about $200 (roughly converted) to begin my espresso at home. You're saying these burrs work alright for espresso as well then? Was initially thinking about a Sette 270, but it's $100 more and I've heard it has some reliability issues
I agree with I was going to get the filter also. But unfortunately they didn’t have the color I needed to fit my kitchen’s style.
@@CCCulture947 I see! I quite like the all black look lol. But do you think the Filtro would be good then? The Notte/Manuale is 50% more expensive, so if the Filtro handles espresso it seems like a great deal
@@a.r.1611 Personally I think this is a greater grinder and I solid value. Where I dont see the justification to buy a notte
@@CCCulture947 just ordered the Filtro! Found it for another $50 off, so I can afford to replace the burrs if I need to :)
@@a.r.1611 That's awesome congrats on the new grinder! Feel free to chime back in, I want to see what you think of it!
I'm looking at replacing my old Quisinart grinder. Did you notice a big jump in shot quality when you upgraded yours?
Oh there is a day and night difference and ease of use difference also
How does the eureka stack up to your 1zpresso JX Pro?
That’s a really good question. I’ve gone back and forth between which one I prefer in terms of taste profile. I feel that I like the taste of the 1zpresso more, but there are so close. I guess I’m more of a conical burrs flavor kinda guy but can’t beat the ease of the electric grinder.
I've actually been debating between the Chrono and the JX pro
I hear the JX pro is really good but currently having a Hario grinder that takes 2 minutes or more sucks
I have a flair manual machine rn but want a breville bambino plus
The Jx says it can turn it out in like 30 to 40 seconds which is better than 2 minutes
I just wonder how good of a consistency the Chrono has compared to the Jx or even the sette 270
I also hear that earlier this year they were placed the Burr's on the Chrono to not be able to do espresso but plenty of people still have found models with them and apparently they offer the replacement original espresso geared Burr's on Amazon for like 30 bucks allegedly ?!
I'm just wondering if I should just go with the $150 hand grinder or pay $250 and hopefully have the correct Burr's or have to pay $30 more just to not grind for 30 seconds by hand
There's plenty of times where I have a few people over and I just want to pump out a bunch quickly
Also I wonder what the lifespan of the Chrono is and if there's a lot of replacement parts just like baraatza offers
@@seeyouspacecowboy14 I was in your position with using a hario and it was painful how long it took to grind. the JX-pro does 16g in about 20-30s which is really manageable, I never find it much effort unlike the hario.
You'll also be getting a better grind at a lower price than the other machines as it is focussed towards espresso (it can certainly grind fine enough.)
The compromise is that it is bad for volume. I can get 2 coffees out of one full chamber of the JX-pro. When my family are around and im doing a few it does take longer than the sette or chrono would for sure.
If making more than 1 or 2 espressos at a time is a deal breaker then a manual grinder might not be for you. But if you can't be dropping hundreds of $ on a grinder then they are absolutely the way to go for grind quality and bang for your buck, and the JX-Pro is fantastic.
does the lelit have better shot than the bambino? im looking into buying my first coffee machine
The bambino makes a pretty solid shot and I think it makes for a good first espresso machine
@@CCCulture947 thanks man, enjoy your new machine!
Did you changed the burr or kept the stock ones?
I kept the stock ones but they are the older type of burrs
4 months with no video, 5 really. We used to get a couple videos every month. Bambino=Videos. Lilit=5 months no videos. Maybe it would have been better to stick with the bambino?
Sorry I wish that I can make more videos, but my doctorate program keeps me a little more busy then I'd like. But when I'm done I plan to make them more consistent
@@CCCulture947 what program?
