Know before you buy
Each unit has been individually inspected and serviced by the manufacturer to ensure it performs exactly like a new model. While the internal mechanics are fully functional, please note that the unit may have minor cosmetic imperfections.
The large 83mm burrs provide exceptional grind consistency and clarity, which is ideal for highlighting the nuanced flavor profiles of specialty coffee. This size is significantly larger than most home grinders, allowing for a faster and more uniform grind.
At 29 pounds and 22 inches tall, the HG-1 is a substantial piece of equipment. You should ensure you have enough vertical clearance and a sturdy, stable surface to accommodate its weight and size.
The removable hopper makes it easier to clean the grinder and switch between different coffee beans. It also allows for a more compact profile when the grinder is not in use or when you need to perform routine maintenance.
Because these units are sold as refurbished, they are not returnable or refundable based on cosmetic blemishes. We recommend reviewing the product details carefully, as the warranty covers functional performance rather than aesthetic appearance.
