How tedious is it though when grinding 40g+ for your chemex? With the one I have it's like a solid 3mins. I mean I definitely want one but I figured if I'm spending that much why not get an electric one. Do you think the Lido2 is better than the Barazta Encore?
Takes about 10-15 seconds not much effort at all.
I do think the Lido2 will hold up better than the Encore, yes. Most of the Encore amazon reviews focus on Espresso grinding, and that is what it looks like it's geared to do. Course grinds will not have the consistency, nor will it handle it very well (check out the guy trying to use it for french press, he gave up).
Lido2 is made for Filter. Also appears to have a higher build quality and is more serviceable. I don't expect issues with the Lido2 for years, but if the day comes I know I can just purchase the part, not an entire new grinder…

From Lido maker's website;
"What if something breaks? Can I get parts?
So far we have had to replace one broken plastic hopper (a large dog made off with the grinder to a bad end) and 3 adjustment rings (dropped grinder on floor with no jar in place). We have reached stable production at this point and finally have spare parts available. We will have them listed on our website soon. We have been able to supply this small number of needed parts so all is well, but open sale on the website will be better for all. Coming soon, we promise. " -
I'm not sure if it's the same dude, but one of the reviews was nonsense. He said it couldn't grind dark oily beans, that is definitely not true. He may have had a defective unit but his description of the behavior of the grinder was way off base from my experiences.

Well I make pour over with it every morning and it's delicious shrug

::) is probably about the only answer there :).
Did you ever watch the videos I did on how even the partical size was vs other hand grinders? Maybe you could have a look @ that and compare against your partical size distribution. Would be a pretty good way to see if it holds up to it and I'm full of it

I guess. I don't care that damn much but they're both conical burrs right?
-
Speaking of elbow greased grinders…
Ceramic conical burr grinder designed to fit into an AeroPress. Local roasters Novo, one of their Yirgacheffe line.
So far I can't match the flour like grind of my barazta but for a mobile solution at work and on camping trips it's good enough. Wondering how she would handle coarser grinds.
I did enjoy the bright florality of the cup.

@Snowy Haraki know I would like this shirt so he made it just for me LOL.
Looks good @twin & that's something I thought I'd never say about paisley. Is that in Boyertown?
Yes Savill's is in Boyertown. It is one of the best Diners to go and eat good food.
I have been eating at Savill's since I was a kid.
