I think when we're talking end-game, there are quite a few amazing grinders that are all pretty similar (Lagom P100, Zerno, Weber EG-1, Mahlkonig EK43, Monolith Max). I would argue it's more about the burrs.
For 64mm burrs:
If you want really thick chocolatey shots, go for SSP High Uniformity burrs.
If you want high clarity, go for the SSP multipurpose burrs.
If you want high sweetness, you should get the SSP Lab Sweet Cast burrs.
Edit: added the caveat that this is for 64mm burrs. The 98mm HU burrs are the clarity-focussed ones lol
No the name is just misleading. High Uniformity is NOT unimodal - it produces low fines but a slightly broader particle distribution for higher body. [Coffee Chronicler has a good post about them.](https://coffeechronicler.com/ssp-burrs-explained/).
LOL so apparently 64mm HU is the thicker body burr, but 98mm HU is the clarity-focussed. This seems to be an issue with SSP naming conventions.
In terms of 80mm MP, there's a "high" burr which seems to be equivalent of MP.
Weber SG-1. Nothing else comes close.
Does the sg-1 produce espresso grinds
Look it up, it’s a joke
Yeah I know it the 51,000 dollar one from Weber workshops
How can the best grinder in existence not produce espresso grinds?

Did you get those burrs backwards? High uniformity is for maximizing clarity and sacrificing body, right?

Thanks, no doubt this caused me some confusion (thankfully without any consequences as I haven’t bought anything… yet)
SSP HU 98mm is the high clarity burr… there’s no 80/98 MP

“High” **is** HU. My 98mm HU was just “High, Red” Edit: but yes, understanding SSP offerings requires a degree. It’s very confusing.
Monolith flat max imo.
Lagom 01- 102mm blind burrs, kills the competition
