T64 Coffee Grinder

By: Nicholas Boyle on 24 September 2021

Last year my kids bought me a Sunbeam coffee grinder. It was lovely but people didn't like my coffee and I found myself filling the portafilter to the top and only running the water through my Profitec 500 for a few seconds to make a cup of coffee that was barely drinkable. This year I bought a barista course at JetBlack (worth every cent, thoroughly recommended) to learn to make coffee better and found out that my poor sunbeam couldn't grind the coffee fine enough. So I bought the one that Amber used (the T64) a couple of weeks ago. Even my wife, who is not a coffee drinker, likes the coffee now. Same coffee, same machine, different grinder. The difference is staggering. It really does make a lovely, tasty coffee. Look, if you have a decent grinder then this won't make a difference, but if you are using a grinder from Bunnings or Harvey Norman then maybe you should look at a better grinder. I like this grinder because you can chuck the portafilter in and press the button and go do something else for 9.4 seconds. To be fair it does chuck the odd piece off coffee onto the floor/counter but the Sunbeam did that and used twice as much coffee. Also it would be good if the power switch was on the front like on the Profitec 500 but you can't have everything. Recommend you get the staff at Jetblack to dial it in for you when you buy so you have a good starting point and don't have to faff about getting the settings right.

Profitec Pro T64

This grinder is fast and reasonably quiet. I did find that out of the box the burrs needed quite a bit of adjustment to dial in. The portafilter holder works well with minimal (if any) mess due to stray grinds. I would describe its appearance as slightly utilitarian and understated but it still maintains a good presence on the benchtop. I use it exclusively for espresso with half a hopper at a time in the machine and it fits that profile very well. If I wanted to switch between brews and espresso , or wanted to single dose I would choose a different machine. Overall i am very satisfied with this purchase.

Great Service - Great Grinder

Stunningly beautiful grinder. When I first switched it on (without beans), I thought it was broken. Nah, it was just quiet! Sure, it made some more noise with beans in but very smooth, pleasant to the ear. Much quieter than our consumer-grade conical burr grinder. Noticeable difference in grind quality, I can TASTE the difference, even in French Press coffee. Solid build, German made and impeccable customer service from Jetblack.

It is early days and I hope to sing more praises later, when this grinder gets paired up with something worthy of its style and quality.
