Is the Weber Workshops Key worth the hype after being fully funded on Indiegogo in 5 minutes? I adjusted to it over time—if you're unsure, give it time. Don’t let extreme reviews sway you, and approach customer service with patience and courtesy for the best results. Does Weber Workshops Key live up to the hype? Do I regret it?
correction, verified with WW directly the burrs are rated to last up to 10 000kg!! sooo... many many lifetimes over.
UPDATE: It gets more consistent and grinds better about 1 month in
UPDATE 2: I had some full stop stalling at 30rpm on some very light dense beans that I was gifted from fancy roasters around the world. I revved it up to 90rpm + rdt and it grinded through
UPDATE Nov 2022: it seems the next gen KEYS will have less burr lock problems. From WW: "we decided to change the thread direction on future generations of the KEY so that even if run without the locking ring it makes everything coarser instead of tighter."
