Please watch until the end if confused. We love good fun here. If duped, I apologize. I am quite convincing ;) Much love and hope you enjoyed! I had fun making it. TBH I just freaking love history, so getting to play with these querns, and how it forced my hand to research, was good fun. Cheers for now! Looking forward to chatting in the comments!
My mother in law in Madagascar has one of those old wooden hand grinder. My daughter and I enjoy grinding coffee for drip coffee for the grandparent. It works. I should adjust it for espresso.
Haha I was gonna say that but in more harsh words. He’s comparing something modern and has amazing results to something that has been used for thousands of years and starts singing like a mad man. I love coffee but this review is the most hipsterish propaganda ever.
@@benhernandez9747 Paying 55k for two stones for a grinding setup? Yep. If you want one, just talk to your local stonemason. I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure he will be able to make one of these for a 3 to 4 digit price.
I love how quiet it is, won't wake up the entire cave in the morning. Plus it looks nice on the counter next to my other bronze and stone kitchen accessories.
“This is the coffee I’ve been dreaming of since I was a child … This is some of the best coffee of my life” Neither of these things are true, this is either insanity, wish fulfillment or hype.
Thanks for the comprehensive review, Lance! Regarding the finger holes, they are actually meant to put a wooden peg into for turning leverage, but we couldn't figure out how to square off a round peg to fit in there. Any suggestions?
How did you manage the copyright infringement issues with the name? The Sci-Fi Network must have been difficult to deal with. Or were they so enthused about the device that they just let you have the name? It's probably that, right? Yeeeeah, I bet it's that for sure.
Lance, I can't believe you failed to mention the nutrition issue. When you grind with the SG1, some of the fines will be nearly microscopic bits of grinder stone. Then, whether you use a French Press (long exposure to the hot water) or an espresso machine (oh, that pressure!), some minerals from the stone-fines will leach out into the coffee. And then, Yes! You have essential minerals in your coffee! -toby
While this is a joke, the amount of ash content is literally the difference between "french" style flour and "american" style (which is much more fine and without the impurities useful for some types of breadmaking). It's why early American bureaucrats/founding fathers had to import pasta from Europe, it took a while to figure out why the American-grown stuff didn't work right!
I like that you don't have to worry about buying 120 or 220 volt (also helpful for resale). One problem with all these reviews, though, is that they sneak in the accessories like the magic tumbler. I get that I can just buy the SG1, but now that I've seen the workflow with the tumbler, I feel like I have to get that too. P.S. The white set is like a shot of sunshine into the Lance Hedrick experience.
hahaha! I love this comment. $55k grinder, doesn't bat an eye. Sneak in an accessory? CURSE YOU! hahaha And thank you! I hope you enjoy the look of the set.
I was going to get these, but then I heard SSP were going to release polished marble burrs, that not only have more precise machined grooves, but really help with the retention issue.
Funny to think that your entire career as a coffee professional and RUclipsr has actually just been a lead up to your audition for Jean Vajean on Broadway. Pretty keen to see how the coffee based version of Les Miserables pans out.
Yes, stone mills can be used for grinding coffee. Although these days, they are mostly used to make Japanese powdered green tea (matcha). Large producers use machines to turn the stone mills themselves, of course.
@@LanceHedrick imagine using the same grinder for coffee and matcha in the morning, when you have different preferences from your partner.. can’t imagine the taste of your beverage for choice
30 years ago I saw a pair of B&W speakers that were 2m tall, weighed in at 500kg and cost an eye watering $25,000CAD; half of which was shipping from Britain.
@@LanceHedrick my bad. The weight was ½ a tonne: 1000 kilos. Shipping included assembly in your home. At ¼ tonne per speaker, no feng shui-ing your room after that!!
This is why Lance is arguably the best in the business. Nobody bothers to go into this level of depth these days. We've just witnessed the birth of IOB scale & I think it's time for the coffee community to start taking "Induced Operatic Baritone" seriously as a metric for coffee quality.
This grinder has been such a classic within societies for millennia! And modding is something enthusiasts have been doing all the time. One most common and useful mod was attaching a rotating handle on the upper burr, which vastly improves efficiency. Another popular one, albeit mostly among more prominent, affluent families, was attaching your livestock to the grinder and let it do all the work. The best thing about this mod is that you, the owner, is totally freed from the labour work.
@@Madeyro True. Although to make this advanced mod working properly and efficiently you have to build quite sizable attachments for your grinder, like a water wheel. Not to mention one needs to live next to a river. Such luxuries (or prerequisites) are the culprit that these mods never caught on with the majority. Real shame.
For about 10 minutes I’m watching this thinking, “what on God’s green planet is going on? This must be fake but the history is so interesting so I will keep watching.” Then the opera during the tasting was the piece de resistance, utterly amazing and hilarious. Well done good sir, well done.
I heard Hario is dropping a handheld version of these soon. Using the same Hokkaido stones that have been traditionally used to make glutinous rice flour.
Oh yeah, I remember being strapped onto one of these when I was a young Cimmerian boy and my village was raided by Thulsa Doom, now ten years later I look like an Austrian bodybuilder and have a crippling caffeine addiction.
Too bad you didn't get it earlier and co-ordinated the video release for April 1st. Very educational! You did get me curious how it would taste, I can't imagine the grind consistency being very uniform.
I hear this was originally slated to come out earlier, but Doug Webber forgot that Lance prefers to have a grinder for at least a month before publishing his review. Now looking forward to the Hoffman’s review, though I heard that’s been delayed by almost a year!
Wonderful!!! I love that interesting, real history was mixed in ... plus Lance had the exact right mix of "pretentious coffee geek" and "pure Lance" to make this off the charts entertainment. If I could give this 12 Likes, I would. The only drawback is that the video should have been released on the same day the Niche Duo was released.
yeah! It is a bummer. I originally planned for an april 1 release, but portuguese customs had other plans. I even called and explained it was an april 1 joke and they didn't seem to find it very funny lol
@@LanceHedrickWas it made in Portugal or was it delivered to Portugal? As soon as I saw it I was like “That looks a lot like those very old granite flour mills used for decoration nowadays” ahahahah I was thinking you were insane then I saw the description and it all made sense. One of the best April’s fools jokes I’ve ever seen
Here I was considering making my own, and Weber beats me to it. Congrats! Great video Lance. Such a convincing role you played that I was reaching for my wallet.
So this video was the one that flipped the hyperfocus switch in my brain and got me interested in the mechanics of coffee grinding despite not really being into coffee at the time. I currently have seven different coffees from four local roasters that I'm working through via five different brewers that I use regularly.
Amazing! I love how there's almost no retention with this grinder. Weber made a winner here. Sold the EG 1 the second this was announced. Its been 3 months and I'm still on their waiting list. I can almost taste the dirt.
Phew... glad I made it to the end to hear the disclaimer while I was on hold with my bank. I was seconds away from remortaging my home after your reaction to the SG1 tasting.
I use one of those Magic Bullet Blenders I found at a yard sale. I didn't want to ruin my good blender. Works well, the coffee tastes like coffee so I'm happy.
Lance could you do an old vs new comparison video? The SG1 in a head to head with my favourite way of enjoying coffee, having it's particles smashed to pieces by the Large Hadron Collider, it gives uniformity like nothing else.
Mmm those subatomic and quantum coffee flavours are next level. I like my coffee particles so fine that neutrinos can taste them. Coffee is why the gods gave us science.
Man it looks like a must have for hand grinder enthusiasts! Can't wait for Daddy Hoff to test the SG1 with a Bripe 😎 Though I doubt that 2000 years of "innovation" could even come close to competing with the bent handle on my C40 🤨. That's the real game changer! Weber really need to step up their R&D.
Wow i still have one at home that my grandma used to make tofu out of. We normally put a stick on top as the handle. It really gives out fine even ground if you do it slow and steady. Oh and it takes A LOT of break in practices. Then it may actually be the grinder you dreamt of no joke.
The best video on coffee grinders I have seen in a while 😄 Also, can I say that your singing is great haha! You should consider a carpool karaoke style video 😁🙏🏻
I was considering getting a flat burr grinder but, my husband says he will not let another coffee contraption into our house. I think I can pass the SG1 off as fitness gear. 🏋️♀️💪☕
it actually wasn't bad. It was pretty solid, for real. And Hugo's reaction was 100% genuine. He told me after the camera was off he 100% preferred that cup. The grounds were actually solid.
I thought this was fake until Lance mentioned he took out a 2nd mortgage on his house to buy it. That part is 100% believable and gave this review all the credibility it needed! You can get a new home, you can get a new family, but you can't always get a new SG1. Congrats, and grind on brother!
Jesus effin Christ! When the devil got hold of your singing I was like my cat was just kept under a car’s wheel. But anyway, take my money! I’m sold! 😂😂😂
I can never tell when you are serious or joking, Lance. XD Was it actually that good?! EDIT: I just read the description. I loved what you said at the end about rediscovering the style of grinding though :D
I'm glad Weber has time to make jokes and not send me replacement parts or answer my emails. Haha guys you got us! Did you send sprometious this for testing?
sorry that happened to you! shocked to read that, actually. and why are you asking me if I sent something to sprometheus? I have zero financial affiliation with weber. I bought my eg1 AND hg2 out of pocket. he sent me this for a joke from his house in japan but i'll be shipping it back soon. i'm shocked raymond hasn't responded.
Comment was about Weber and not you Lance. Ive been trying to reach someone in the customer service for more than a week with no response. Also they called sprometious a childish name after a review and it kind of sums up the company in general.
🤣😂 You are brilliant. Thanks for the history Hedrick. 😃 And for so hilariously exposing what "coffee connoisseurs" (aka snobs) -caged in a decaying society- base their worth on.
I can't tell if this is meant to be a joke or not. I can see coffee people being obsessed with this, but at the same time i can't imagine anyone being this much more exited over two stones and a stick over a precision made mechanical engineering work of art made specifically for grinding coffee Edit: I just got to the end lmao
Although I'm watching this in March 2024. It didn't take me long to realize that this must be an April fools post. Well done. It's a fun look into an old tech.😊
Please watch until the end if confused. We love good fun here. If duped, I apologize. I am quite convincing ;)
Much love and hope you enjoyed! I had fun making it. TBH I just freaking love history, so getting to play with these querns, and how it forced my hand to research, was good fun. Cheers for now! Looking forward to chatting in the comments!
I love history, too, and it's such a treat when you put up a video about various historical aspects of coffee
thank you! I love doing it. Makes it so much better when others appreciate it!
But the real question is.. Can it do espresso?!?!?
Did this come out a week too late?
Portuguese customs decided the joke wasn't funny enough to release it on time. They sat on it for about 10 days too long.
This is it- This is what specialty coffee looks like to non-coffee people.
My mother in law in Madagascar has one of those old wooden hand grinder. My daughter and I enjoy grinding coffee for drip coffee for the grandparent. It works. I should adjust it for espresso.

Someone can't read... or sniff out satire...
I love how quiet it is, won't wake up the entire cave in the morning. Plus it looks nice on the counter next to my other bronze and stone kitchen accessories.
ha! Waking the cave. That's a joke I wish I wouldve thought of for the video.
But if it causes you to break out into show tunes after drinking then it kinda defeats that purpose.
Bronze and stone age*
$55k and it isn't even mule driven?!
was a wee disappointed in that, tbf
I think shipping a mule may create a logistical nightmare haha
The mule would have to be locally sourced.
def locally sourced. Maybe a voucher?
Mule? I pictured Victor Mature aka Samson (Samson & Delilah 1950) "The trouble you brew today, you'll drink tomorrow."😁
You know. The main benefit here is simple. When your grinder is stone you don't have to worry about stones breaking your grinder.
you get it!!!!
finally we can grind and brew pebbles for added stone notes in our coffee
But paper always wins against rock
“This is the coffee I’ve been dreaming of since I was a child … This is some of the best coffee of my life” Neither of these things are true, this is either insanity, wish fulfillment or hype.

Thanks for the comprehensive review, Lance! Regarding the finger holes, they are actually meant to put a wooden peg into for turning leverage, but we couldn't figure out how to square off a round peg to fit in there. Any suggestions?
Will need to do some more experimenting. I imagine there will be plenty of after market 3d printed options
Couldn't you size a square peg, then use the square side to mount to a lathe for rounding?
I was wondering why the handle was missing
How did you manage the copyright infringement issues with the name? The Sci-Fi Network must have been difficult to deal with. Or were they so enthused about the device that they just let you have the name? It's probably that, right? Yeeeeah, I bet it's that for sure.
"This is a high-retention grinder" and "RDT doesn't really help" had me dying! The whole video is hilarious but those lines are criminally underrated

oh jeez. that would be rough. The exchange would be heavy. Every cup would be half and half haha!
We still use it for flour where I live
Hugo bringing gravity to the video with "I prefer this one." Made me chuckle 😂
what's funny is that wasn't "gravity." He genuinely preferred that cup (as did i). 100% serious
I have used one of this in India growing up for rice, and spice grinding. My parents had them handed down to them by their parents and grandparents
It’s actually only $500 - shipping is $54,500

Yesterday I just thought, if James Hoffmann try fried coffee why there are no one try using a matcha grinder to grind coffee.
And here he is.
haha! For real!
I'd be surprised if it didn't taste like stone fruits.
Definitely interested, what about supply of spare parts, incase one of the stones chip? And how long does it take to season the stones?
I was originally very confused why this was published mid April 😂 Great video, Burr Man!
Can i take two?
One for espresso and one for cold brew?
My house is already on eBay
probably can figure out a dual bopper type situation
One year later and I have once again fallen victim to one of the classic blunders.

This is so funny. This guy really selling a 2 square foot rock to sit in your house and make a big ole mess all over the place. Great work.
(Don't let the overt satire go straight over your head)
@@LanceHedrick Keep it up sir.
I couldn’t decide if he was serious for the entire video until the end
Although I'm watching this in March 2024. It didn't take me long to realize that this must be an April fools post. Well done. It's a fun look into an old tech.😊
I first impression: Was it April 1st again? 2nd impression: Hugo, the camera man, is back! The quality of video is back, yay
3:48 $55000 for a typical ishiusu? Wtf?! They’re like a couples hundred bucks tops.
(It's a joke.... satire)
@@LanceHedrick ah. A haircut as it were.
This is by far the best Weber parody I have ever seen 😂
I’ve got it! The factory should be in Denver. That way delivery is simply rolling them downhill to anywhere in the continental US.
Hahaha watching this not on April fools day is a trip. Good one, Lance 😂
