A few years ago, our shop acquired a Swift grinder for very little money. We're pretty high volume, so it's nice sometimes. The shots from the swift just have never compared to the Super Jolley's we keep on hand for backup and single origin espresso. The swift grinder is nice because all of our baristas are not of the same skill level. I train everyone, however, on the Mazzer's way before they are even allowed to touch the swift grinder. I think this helps them understand what they are doing more. Anyways, the Swift Grinder went down and everybody has been handling the longest of lines with two Super Jolley's just fine. I've convinced the owner it's a better idea to refurbish the swift and sell it off, replacing it with an electronic Mazzer Major or doserless Compak K10. What are your thoughts on this? I've also had trouble locating a dealer who sells the doserless Compak K10.
