Fiorenzato F4E Nano V2 Electronic Grinder - 4 Colors

This was my first ever espresso grinder and I've been using it for almost 3 years. It looks great and is well built. It takes a bit of effort (and 2 hands) to adjust the grind setting, which is not ideal since I change beans every other week. Other than that, it's very easy to program and use. There is some clumping in but the grind quality is still quite good and most importantly, the espresso tastes great! My double shots are usually 15g-16g, which takes about 15-16 seconds on this grinder. Overall, a solid grinder that isn't very loud and makes good espresso for the price.

I do find difficulty dialing it in, the rotational ring seems to make rather large micron changes for minimal adjustments.

The F4E is built incredibly well and looks beautiful. There is some clumping of the grinds, but not much. There is retention, 2-3 grams at least, which one can live with. Adjusting the grind is a two handed process (ideally 3 handed), but I don’t find myself adjusting more than once a week or when changing beans. Most of the time I can get very close by eyeballing the beans before pulling the first shot. I occasionally will grind coarser for pour over, but this is not a joy on this grinder. It’s really suited for espresso. Adjusting to a courser grind may require one to unscrew the screw on the adjustment ring. I was surprised that my burrs needed to be replaced after 2 years (about 100 lbs of coffee). I don’t have the best cleaning regimen, so maybe that is to blame. I also home roast, and maybe missed a pebble in the beans. Overall, I’m very pleased with the grinder for the price. In the future I would look for something with less retention.

Great knowledge, service and response. Chose Espresso Outlet because of the reviews and product knowledge after asking newby questions

Not only do they both work well and give coffee to die for, but Joe is the ultimate 'support guy'. His help has been unbelievable when figuring out how to use these two wonderful pieces of Italian engineering (I'm biased, I have two Fiats).
