A: Micrometrical grind adjustment is a feature of a stepless grinder. It ensures that there are no restrictions on your fineness setting choices. A micrometrical grinder like the MDXS gives you the most precise measurements for accurate settings and perfectly tailored results. In contrast, a stepped grinder provides factory presets that baristas choose from to set the coffee fineness. While these might make grind settings quick and easy for coffee, they aren’t ideal for espresso service in a coffee shop or business focusing on high-quality lattes and espresso beverages. The more accurately and precisely you can dial in the grind, the better your espresso will be. Q: What is the “on-demand” part of the MDXS On Demand grinder? A: Instead of grinding coffee into a dosing chamber, the MDXS doses ground coffee right into the portafilter. “On demand” means grinding and dosing espresso one shot at a time, versus grinding coffee in large quantities into a container and dosing the ground coffee into your portafilter from there.  The advantage of on-demand grinding is the freshest coffee for your espresso shots. Since coffee starts oxidizing and losing flavor quite rapidly once ground, it’s important to use it quickly.  An on-demand grinder like the MDXS won’t suffer from the problem of a doser grinder with a coffee chamber holding onto an excess of ground coffee that can’t be used quickly enough. Q: Why buy a flat burr grinder like the MDXS instead of a conical burr grinder? A: Which type of grinder you buy is probably a matter of preference. Some aficionados like flat burr grinders while others like conical burr grinders. One key difference you’ll hear about is in the flavor of the espresso produced from these grinders. Flat burr grinders make the most consistent coffee particles. The resulting espresso features well-blended flavors and can even highlight deeper notes in the coffee. Conical burr grinders create bimodal particles (particles of different sizes). The espresso tends to have enhanced bright notes and a syrupy body characteristic of traditional espresso, though it’s easier to get over-extracted, bitter flavors. There are other advantages to these grinder types, but the flavor differences are often cited as the reasons professionals have their preferences. One thing to note is that many cafes choose flat burr grinders because they’re said to allow baristas to experiment more with espresso recipes. If you’re looking to customize espresso a little more, a flat burr grinder might be the ticket. Extra Resources View Documents and Downloads
