A range of Eureka Grinders (Techno, Freestyle 75, Specialita Up, Libra Brew, 65 All Purpose, Single Dose Pro)
I won't go into a detailed review of all the grinders but would recommend Kyle Rowsell's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIeVUF2bRvU

I'm highlighting this because I'd a. it's a great event in a premier coffee city and b. the readership of this newsletter is growing super fast at the moment and April seems far enough away (yet close enough) to organise a meet-up for anyone going.
Get your names on the waiting list and if there's enough interest then I'll put something together!
