The Femobook A68 stands out with its innovative design, featuring a full metal build and a magnetic assembly that allows for easy disassembly and cleaning. Its 68mm conical burr operates at a low 60 RPM, similar to hand grinders, which reduces fines and ensures a consistent grind across different brew methods. The grinder’s wide grind range, with 300 clicks and 8 microns per click, makes it versatile for espresso, pour-over, and even French press, with easy switching between grind settings.
The A68 is designed with attention to detail, from the sturdy aluminum alloy construction to thoughtful features like magnets that securely hold the grind cup in place. Users will appreciate the grind dial’s smooth adjustments and the burr system’s low retention. While there is minor retention in the funnel, it’s easy to clear with a simple rotate-and-tap motion. Although the grinder emits a slightly high-pitched sound, it’s manageable and doesn’t detract from the overall experience.
Accessories include an extra funnel attachment, a dual-sided cleaning brush, and an air blower, providing everything needed for optimal use. The power supply is thoughtfully designed with a long cord, making it practical for various regions without the need for additional adapters. Overall, the A68 delivers a premium grinding experience with convenience and quality.
