【Tool-Free Disassembly】
Asa highlights the A68 electric coffee grinder’s full aluminum alloy construction and minimalist design, weighing approximately 5.5 kg. Its sturdy build minimizes vibration during grinding[1].
One standout feature is its magnetic, tool-free design, making disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly quick and effortless[2].

2. To ensure the user experience, the magnetic design of the A68 coffee grinder enables full disassembly in just 5 seconds.
Once cleaned and assembled, users can use the grinder immediately without recalibration of burr.
【300+ Grind Settings】
Asa notes that the A68 electric coffee grinder offers over 300 grind settings, with a precise burr gap of just 0.008mm per setting.
This wide range accommodates various brewing methods, helping users achieve their ideal flavor profile effortlessly.
Although users might occasionally forget their previous settings when switching between pour-over and espresso.
However, Asa still thinks the precise adjustment capability of the A68 electric coffee grinder is an outstanding feature and a key selling point[1].

If users forget the current grind setting, they can zero it and reset the grind setting in just a few seconds.
【High-Efficiency with Low-Speed Grinding】
Asa highlights the A68’s ability to produce fewer fines, powered by a 192W DC motor running at a low speed of 60 RPM paired with a 68mm large conical burr[1].
While its RPM is lower than standard grinders, Asa’s tests reveal a grinding speed of 1 g/sec for espresso and 1.5 g/sec for pour-over. The large burr ensures efficiency and prevents beans from getting stuck during grinding.
In the meantime, Asa points out that the A68 incorporates built-in brushes inside the grind chute, which can simultaneously clean the burr during grinding, as well as reduce the coffee grounds caused by static.
For even better reduction of static coffee grounds, Asa suggests using RDT before grinding. Based on Asa’s test, using RDT with the A68 electric coffee grinder would reduce residual grounds to less than 0.1 g[2].

2. If static coffee grounds occur without using RDT, users can rotate the grind chute after grinding. The grind chute's built-in brushes help reduce coffee grounds caused by static.
Then the grind chute can be placed above the grind cup. At this point, users can pick up the grind cup along with the grind chute and tap it directly on a table.
This action releases the coffee grounds from the grind chute into the grind cup. Additionally, the cup has a cushion pad, which can minimize the bottom wear from tapping.
【Asa Baiz's Overall Experience】
Asa first mentions that A68 is very user-friendly. Not only its conical burr is larger than similar types of electric coffee grinders on the market but also the coffee grounds produce higher clarity in flavor, accommodating any brewing method users may desire.
Despite its higher price, Asa praises its premium design and materials, ensuring an outstanding user experience.
On the other hand, Asa points out that the A68’s modular burr set and magnetic design are the key features that make this electric grinder stand out among other competitors on the market.
He also mentions that the operational grinding noise of the A68 is not as loud as expected.
According to Asa’s test, the A68’s noise level ranges between 75 to 80 decibels, which he considers average based on his experience.
While the size of the power adapter might be slightly inconvenient for users with limited space[1], Asa thinks it would be a minor issue because every electric grinder has its pros and cons.
However, Asa mentions that the A68’s overall design allows it to secure a unique place in the market.
And he emphasizes that if you’re looking for a versatile conical burr electric grinder with excellent purity, the A68 is definitely worth considering!
