What’s on your coffee bench?

I think the Monolith's biggest advantage is the zero ground retention. I upgraded to it from a Compak K10 with a doser and I don't miss finagling with the doser to get all the grounds out. Not that the Compak isn't a great grinder. It is, but just better for a shop. Now that Monolith is on the scene it beats any shop grinder for home use.

The Monolith flat gets me a bit more body than the Compak which was a conical of course. I'd love to have a Monolith Conical too, but I can't justify buying one. Maybe if I could try them side by side, I might consider...

You'll love the Monolith. Denis is a class act all the way. Sends you the grinder fully dialed and with coffee that it is dialed to. Your first shot will be a winner. I asked him to make my Monolith with all black accents as didn't want red. He did so, but sent a red dosing funnel and leveler. I asked him if I could swap to black and he happily did so. He also gave me some good Slayer tips and info.

GS3 a great machine. I had one before the Slayer. Kind of bought the Slayer on a lark as a guy as work kept bugging me to sell him my GS3.
