At Madkat Coffee, we’re on a mission to encourage tinkering, creativity and community in coffee through beautiful and intuitive machines.
As with so many coffee enthusiasts, our journey began with the C40. We felt like the C40 was capable of making both excellent espresso and filter and asked ourselves “why buy an electric grinder when the C40 was so good?”
What we didn’t know at that time was that by operating at even lower RPM values such as 60 RPM, we could unlock capabilities in our hand grinders that could help it punch far above its weight.
Unleash the power of slow RPM conical burrs!
There is a growing revolution (pardon the pun) in coffee grinding where slow RPM conical burr grinding has been observed to deliver higher clarity in addition to higher extraction. We’ve noticed this along with other professionals in the industry (see video by Lance Hedrick here).
Studies in this area are evolving and as we gather more data we’re excited to share these findings with you. In the meantime, if you’re curious and have a hand grinder nearby, go on ahead and give slow RPM grinding try!
Single bean dosing = higher extractions
Single bean feeding has been an observed phenomenon for a while as far back as James Hoffman with his slow fed Niche video. More recently Barista Hustle released a study indicating how single bean feeding can dramatically increase extraction values. These studies along with observations from coffee professionals such as Lance Hedrick are forming a growing body of evidence that slow feeding is an easy way to upgrade any grinder.
While this might have been tricky and cumbersome to test with a hand grinder previously, with the Skope X, slow feeding is now a breeze!
Your hand grinder can do so much more!
Madkat coffee came into existence because we felt that we could get more out of the equipment that we had. With the recent developments of slow RPM and single bean dosing, we’ve found our hand grinders to deliver exceptional quality comparable to some of the best grinders on the market worth thousands.
From rich and full bodied espresso shots at high RPM to delicate and floral filter brews at low RPM – the Skope X can deliver!
Choose your adventure!
The coffee journey is a beautiful thing and each one of us has a story to tell. While all our journeys are unique they all share the common thread of a ritual that either gives our day a beginning, a mid-day break or (in the case of the exceptionally caffeine tolerant) an end. With that in mind we’ve opened up the Skope X motorizer to pair with more hand grinders to reflect where we are in our journeys.
If you have a hand grinder you prefer for filter, all you need to do is swap out hand grinders and you’re set. No screwdrivers needed!
