For home baristas, Wega offers a grinder with many qualities. The Wega Max 5.8 Instant Espresso Grinder is a small model designed with domestic users in mind, though you may well find it in small cafes or operating as a secondary grinder in larger ones.
It houses 58mm flat burrs in a simple ‘on-demand’ chassis for grinding straight into your espresso portafilter. What is particularly impressive at the price point is that it offers micro-metric adjustment, allowing you to dial in your grind setting with much more precision than a normal stepped grinder. It also allows you to pre-set two dose timers for a single and a double. For those looking for a step up from entry level espresso grinders, the Wega Max 5.8 Instant is a great value for money option.
