Quite possibly one of the most anticipated coffee grinders ever - it was fully funded in 5 minutes on Indiegogo crowdfunding. Does Weber Workshops Key live up to the hype? Do I regret it? Is it everything I dreamed of and more? Do I love the coffee and workflow? Have a seat, get some snacks (or a cup of coffee), sit back and enjoy.

As I got more used to it with time, I liked it more and more and adjusted to both the grinder and my expectations. My suggestion if you have it and you're unsure, give it some time and then see. Be wary of being influenced by super positive or super negative reviews that may sway your own intuition - and for customer service with WW and with any company, be courteous and aim for troubleshooting and not blaming and remember there is a person at the other end. I find you always get the best results that way (do I always follow this? probably not, probably write from an emotionally charged place sometimes but I try).

*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."
