Machines and essentials for a serious home espresso setup.

G3, G5, G7 — side by side.
The G5 has adjustable grind settings across a wide range. For espresso, use fine settings (lower numbers or finer end of the dial). For pour-over, use medium-fine to medium. For French press, use coarse. Start at the recommended position and adjust based on taste: sour/fast shot means grind finer, bitter/slow means coarser.
The G5's anti-static coating on the grind chute and bin reduces static charge that builds up as grounds are produced. Without it, fine grounds cling to the bin walls and create mess. With the coating, grounds fall cleanly into the bin with minimal clinging or clumping — easier to dose accurately and a cleaner workflow.
Low speed generates less heat — better for delicate light roasts or when grinding for espresso where extra heat affects flavour. High speed is faster and efficient for coarser filter grinds (pour-over, batch brew, French press). Most users run low speed for espresso and high speed for filter coffee.
The G5's 48mm conical burr grinds beans between a cone-shaped inner burr and an outer ring. 48mm is a relatively large burr for a home electric grinder — it grinds faster with less heat transfer than smaller burrs. Conical burrs also run quieter than flat burrs and are simpler to clean.
Run a grinder cleaning tablet (like Grindz) through it monthly. Brush the hopper and grounds bin after each session. Remove the outer burr quarterly for a deep brush clean. Never use water on the burrs. Consistent cleaning prevents stale coffee oils from tainting your next batch.
