Machine Overview

The Weber Workshops EG-1 grinder is priced at $4,095 and is designed for advanced users, while The Key grinder is significantly more affordable at $1,999, yet also caters to advanced skill levels. Both grinders fall under the semi-automatic category, indicating they require some user involvement but also cater to a high level of control over the grinding process.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of grinding information, the EG-1 uses an 80mm flat burr with a stepped adjustment system, while The Key features a 83mm TiN coated conical burr also with a stepped adjustment. Both grinders employ a single dose hopper type and provide a primary dosing method—EG-1 uses a toggle button, whereas The Key employs an on/off button. The retention is minimal for both at less than 0.1g, ensuring fresh grounds for every use.

Features Comparison

Key features of the EG-1 include adjustable RPM from 500 to 1500 and a grind range from pour-over to espresso, alongside the ability to swap burrs. The Key also features adjustable RPM, but with a lower range of 30 to 300, and boasts a grind range that extends from pour-over to Turkish. Additionally, both grinders allow for swappable burrs, enhancing the versatility of use and maintenance.
