The HG one has now passed up the Rosco, The little Rosco is a great grinder and will be used for traveling now. The shots are not as dark, syrupy and do not have as much crema as the Rosco BUT the flavor is slightly better now, and it is so much quicker and easier to use. I will most likely grind some more rice to see if the crema will thicken up a bit more and hopefully I can get some fruit flavors I am always chasing.

Sounds more like gold paint than any real TiN coating. ! :o ( some metal and rock cutting tools are TiN coated for wear resistance !) A i said before,... cheap , shoddy, manufacture.

the rice says "par boiled" but it seems to be just as hard a normal uncooked rice. The guys at HG one recommend it and say they have inspected the burrs after with no signs of damage. for what thats worth... "On average, we noticed a reduction of 10 to 20 rotations with every box (4.25 cups) of instant rice used. On inspection of the burrs after the seasoning process, we
