Does anyone have experience with these two grinders? I’ve narrowed my search down to these two but I’m very undecided. I know the 64 is the better grinder but I don’t know if it’s worth the extra $200 CAD.

    I’ve heard similar things about grind speed between the two.

    How’s the noise on the 64? I’ve heard the 54 is a bit quieter, which would be nice, especially for my 4:30am coffee, which is a big reason I want an electric grinder. Manually grinding beans that early in the morning isn’t as fun. But if the 64 isn’t too loud it’s less of a concern between the two.

      Louder than I’d like but not unreasonable if you put the little hat on while grinding.

          Different floor no. Same floor a different room, maybe. Same floor same room, definitely. I sleep down the corridor, some drywall waway from the grinder. Can hear it in the morning if I’m not sleeping. Doens’t wake me up when she’ s making her coffee.

            Yeah about the same for me. To be fair I’ve also never used a really quiet grinder or am sure if they exist

              Manuals are quiet. They spin a lot slower so I imagine a low-RPM, high-torque electric could sound like that. And take 30-60s to grind 18gr. :D
