The Ceado Life Grinder represents a compact, versatile coffee grinding solution suitable for both single dosing and hopper-based grinding. Departing from its traditional commercial focus, Ceado integrates top-notch features into the Life Grinder, including smooth stepless grind adjustment, easy access to the grinding chamber, isolation of the top burr, and robust operation at 1,650 RPM. Noteworthy is its single dose assembly, employing gravity to actively guide beans into the burrs, ensuring minimal retention and exceptional grinding performance.
Features and Advantages: Measuring just 5.9” W x 7.9” D x 14.2” H, the Life Grinder hosts a potent 250W motor and 50mm flat steel burrs. The top burr remains fixed beneath the bean hopper, while the bottom burr allows for easy adjustment, facilitating effortless removal of the top burr and access to the grinding chamber without disrupting grind settings, particularly beneficial for single dosing.
Adaptable to various operational preferences, the Life Grinder offers the option of an 8.8oz bean hopper or a single dosing assembly. The design blends a bellows-like mechanism with a vented component akin to pushers in juicers or food processors, eliminating popcorning and guiding beans smoothly into the burrs while allowing airflow to expel retained coffee.
Grind adjustment is managed through a numbered knob ranging from 0 to 9, with one full rotation covering the entire grinding range, simplifying the return to desired settings. Further convenience is provided by an adjustable hook and collapsible fork for hands-free grinding into portafilters, along with a 100g grounds bin for easy transfer to brewing devices. Programming is user-friendly, featuring single and double dose settings adjustable up to 60 seconds with 0.1-second precision or manual mode for freehand grinding.
