Coffee grinders beta · Weber
Owners keep the EG-1 as a daily grinder for espresso and pourover, and the few accounts here speak well of how it grinds and how it looks.
Owners who discuss the grinder itself speak well of it. One calls it outstanding after choosing it over the Kafatec Flat Max, and another runs it with ULF burrs as a daily grinder for both pourover and espresso. Too few owners raised this to give it a verdict.
On taste, one owner who upgraded from a W65 says the extra sweetness from the burrs is a subtle step up, not a dramatic change, though they still think it was worth it. Too few owners raised this to give it a verdict.

Each step changes the grind by only 5 microns, so you can make very small changes when tuning a shot. Weber says almost no coffee stays inside, so the beans you put in are the grounds you get out, and you don't need to throw away old grounds when you switch beans. There is no hopper: you weigh beans and add them for each cup. At 13.5 kg it is a heavy machine that will stay in one place on your counter. Weber's product page doesn't list the warranty, so ask the seller before you buy.

For the owners here, the EG-1 is part of the everyday routine. One owner now makes pourover more often than espresso. They run the EG-1 with ULF burrs and pair it with a Decent and a Filter 3 basket on mornings when there is no time for a V60. Another owner sold off much of their gear before retiring abroad, and the EG-1 was one of the few things they kept.
Its looks still matter to people after they buy it. One owner picked it over the Zerno Z2 partly because of the Zerno's waiting time and partly because they found the EG-1 so good-looking. Expectations do need adjusting. The same owner found the taste gain modest compared with their old grinder. A former owner who also had the Weber Key says they now prefer a Niche.
None of the comments here report the EG-1 failing, needing repair or developing faults. The only signs of how it lasts come from use: one owner still uses it as their daily grinder, and another kept it while getting rid of most of their other equipment.
Long-term accounts for this grinder are thin. No theme here has enough owners for the site to give a verdict, and none of the comments describe years of use, wear on the burrs, or what owners do when something goes wrong. The heat-up comments are about espresso machines, not this grinder, so they say nothing about how the EG-1 holds up.

Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
11 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
The same owner, asked again at each point. Fills in as owners answer.
Two questions: how long you have had it, and anything you would like to say about it. Then we ask again as it ages. This helps our mission.

Before you buy one used, ask the seller: how old it is, whether it was ever repaired and by whom, and whether any of the parts above have been replaced. Ask to see it run. A receipt tells you the warranty start date; most makers honour the term only for the first owner.
