EG-1 v3 is available now. 

The EG-1, as with all of our electrical products, are designed to work anywhere worldwide without a transformer. 90-240v, 50-60Hz, we have you covered. CE Certified.

They all use C13 style connectors (same as a computer), so they can be localized with just a cable. This is also an advantage as these cables are readily available in shorter lengths for kitchen countertop use. We currently send the correct cable for your country when available (US, AU, EU, UK styles only), but it may ship with a US style cable based on cable availability at time of purchase.

The EG-1 is our premier flat burr disc grinder. There is an incredible amount of information on the web surrounding the question "which is better -- flat or conical?". In short, there is no concrete answer, as this really comes down to personal preference. A couple of things that can be said about each are:

Conical Burrs

 It is our belief that conical burrs are great for their all-around flexibility in making good coffee. Think of them like a tennis racket with an enormous sweet spot that always feels just about right, but never channels 100% of the swing's power. They will give you the power to make amazing coffee with margin for error, but might not pull out every single complex note of a very sophisticated coffee. They work great on all styles of coffee, espresso to pour-over.

Flat (or disc) Burrs

These are for when you want to dial in with the precision of a scalpel to get every single origin note possible from your coffee. Our CORE burrs do this with precision and clarity, both for espresso and pour-over coffees. Our ULTRA burrs reduce fines to the point they are virtually unusable for traditional espresso, but outstanding as a dedicated pour-over burr. Our BASE burrs are unique in that they are flat burrs, but act very much like conical burrs with a lot of mouthfeel and a bimodal distribution. See more about all three burr sets here.
