Etzinger etzMAX X customer Feedback
I have the Etzinger etzMAX **X** GBW (grind by weight and timer based), and it's the last grinder I shall ever want as it's been built to last many years, and now includes a brushless motor amongst other refinements.
Why does it have a small **32mm** burr?
'The smaller the burr, the smaller the grinding chamber, the lower the grind retention. That\`s a fact!'
The powerful brushless motor more than makes up for the burr size, and can easily outperform conical or flat burrs of greater sizes!
I used to have the Baratza Sette 270 Wi, and the gears were plastic and wore out over time; well this Etzinger etzMAX is the rolls royce of that Sette 270 W**i** grinder with metal gears!

\- 3.5-5.5g/sec (new XP cone)
\- New AC motor with unlimited life-span
\- Anti Static Jig
\- RRB mechanism (Rotating Ring Burr)
\- Built-in ACAIA scale (+/- 0.1-0. 2g)
\- 3 programmable doses
\- To be operated in time- or weight-based mode
\- Low retention (<1g)
\- Easy to adjust and clean (without tools)
\- Modular system enabeling user to replace parts themselves
\- Single Dosing
\- Improved Rush-Hour Cooling System
\- Convertible to Filter version

With **direct verticle** grinding into the portafilter basket means little to no retention unlike other standard grinders on the market.
The way the burrs are designed, makes a lot of difference in the cup due to the unique rotating ring; no other grinder uses this burr set up, unless Etzinger, helped in the 'branded' grinders design!
The newly-designed XP Cone rotating ring burr gives the etzMAX X an impressive grind speed of up to 5.5 grams per second, and the anti-static jig means your grounds fall directly into the portafilter or dosing cup clean and pillowy with near-zero retention. The new AC motor is kept cool by the improved Rush-Hour Cooling System, which prevents overheating in the chamber to maintain consistent extractions when grinding multiple shots back-to-back.
"The proper functioning of our RRB (Rotating Ring Burr) system is based on the antistatic dissipation. It allows for benefits like low retention, low electro statical charge and the direct exit of fluffy grounds. Further features are owed to the optimal adaptation of burrs and burr geometry to motor power and rotation rate."
This grinder features a series of stepped macro-adjustments to grind size as well as stepless, micro-adjustments that allow for precision dialing in across roast profiles. The modular design of the etzMAX X allows you to disassemble the grinder for cleaning or to upgrade individual parts easily, without needing tools. It comes with a 1000g bean hopper and a set of two included brushes, one for cleaning the burrs and one for brushing off any loose grinds. The included portafilter funnel is compatible with a 58mm portafilters and serves as an optional tool to prevent stray grinds from making their way onto your counter.
There are additional accessories which you can purchase such as:
1\. 200g Bean hopper
2\. Single Dose adaptor
3\. Filter plate
