These days, the concept of freshness has made its way to the top of the list. With so many shops grinding per order, does it make sense to use grinders that have dosers? As far as I can tell, the original intention of the doser was to give the option of pre-grinding coffee so it is ready for when the daily rush hits. This is now frowned upon. So, cons are aplenty: more spots for coffee oils to fester, bigger chance of serving old coffee, more to throw out when adjusting the grind...
Pros of having a doser?
What are your recommendations for doserless grinders?
Nuova Ricambi is now selling the Hey Cafe Zenith, available in doserless. I have tested it and it's definitely a contender (and has a great price). It utilizes the Mazzer burrs and motor but is made using cheap labor as far as I can tell. Worth it?
