Eureka, an Italian manufacturer of precision coffee grinders since 1920, has introduced one of their latest designs, the Helios series grinder. At a first glance, this grinder is an incredible mix of practicality and great design. Looking more carefully, this grinder comes with 65 mm flat steel burrs rotating at 1380 RPMs using a powerful and relatively quiet 570watt motor. Given these specifications, it is not surprising that this new addition to the Eureka family enjoys high popularity among home baristas.
The Grind adjustment is step-less, all you need to do is turn the knob on the top of the grinder until you reach your preferred grind fineness. On the majority of grinders, the lid which conceals the grinding chamber is secured with a few screws, making maintenance difficult when it comes to cleaning or changing out the burrs. On the Helios 65, the lid is held in place with magnets, making it easy to simply lift the lid away.
