can someone please translate what he is saying about the differences between the burrs? Received my 2023 Version a few weeks ago and I really like it but there is no one in the west talking about this great grinder right now.
In short: - The new version produces fewer fines compared to the 2022 version. - In the cupping test conducted with light roast Ethiopia natural process beans, he tasted plum-like acidity, low-key style jasmine and peach flavors in the middle, and smoother/less astringency texture in the finish; while for the 2022 one, he tasted strawberry-like acidity, more pronounced jasmine and peach flavors and tea-like astringency in the finish. - The new version has good tolerance for making pour-over coffee. You are less likely to make a sharp, bitter or astringent coffee. - The new version is great for making espresso because you can grind even finer to pull a slower/longer shot with high-flow baskets such as WAFO and VST baskets. - The espresso he made with medium-light roast Kenya beans is well-balanced and rounded. He tasted plum-like acidity, black currant and Taiwanese Oolong Tea flavor in the middle, and toffee/caramel sweetness in the finish.
I'm not sure if you'll find this content relevant or useful, here’s why: - The title says, "I definitely did not find any difference," which seems to be sarcastic or some kind of humor that might be hard to grasp. - The only mention of the burrs starts at 3:53, where he tests the rate of fine grind particles, showing a result of 26% for old burrs versus 21% for new ones. The taste differences are translated above. - Besides comparing the new and old versions through cupping, pour-over, and espresso tasting, about a third of the video is spent mocking RU-vidrs who teach different pour-over techniques and exaggerate the differences between them. I've noticed there are some reviews from Western creators like Lance Hedrick that might provide more useful information.
