Rancilio still retain their classic grinder two types, named "Rocky" since it was first introduced in 1991 Few cosmetic changes they did in 2009 and to date Rocky still has many loyal fans including me. After a long time not introduce new products in this year Kryo type Rancilio introduced to the class as a refresher of the commercial MD40 type that has been present for more than two decades.
Unboxing Kryo
For the Indonesian region, including all products Rancilio espresso machines distributed by Caswell's and from this company I gained Kryo. The first impression about Kryo is the weight reached 13 kilograms is covered by a protective styrofoam wrap it very tightly. In terms of weight, Kryo only disputing one kilogram lighter than the Mazzer Super Jolly are both imported from the Italian state.
There are two types of grinder Kryo in the product range and doserless dozer type, the type of which I wrote here. Doserless, or without a place to put the ground coffee and the increasingly popular after its existence. More practically, there are many coffee store and discard the rest though, as the term Kryo, ground coffee only when needed (on demand).
Kryo Slowly I remove the cardboard with bean hopper is equipped with a guide to operate the grinder is presented in multiple languages.
Design
Black with solid iron material except plastic parts for electronic panels bean hopper and as you can see in the photo below. As per the specifications, the reservoir contains 1.3 pounds of coffee can decorated with Rancilio company logo on the front. As usual, the container is equipped with a stopper that can open the lid to separate the coffee beans while will make replacement or clean the inside.
Continues down, grind size setting or adjustment is the only form of small spheres strikingly colored. Panels or electronic display when lit with a blue colored font that is easily readable dot matric including for my eyes have started aging.
Digital display is surrounded by a heat sink made of aluminum which is designed by Rancilio for hot-borne evolved as a result of motor rotation at high speed while reducing heat coffee beans.
The position of the portafilter (fork) is made of iron material that is firmly plugged directly under the output chute or coffee powder. A small button that instantly activates the grinder when pressed by a portafilter that can be removed without having to be held constantly.
Finally, a container of coffee that can be removed are at the very bottom belowthe power button located on the right.
Using Kryo
I Kryo sandingkan with Mazzer Super Jolly grinder and compare the size of two is not too much different. Kryo just seemed a little lower, but that is only because the bean hopper that Mazzer soaring higher.
Once turned on, the display electronic greetings and immediately instructed me to do the calibration or determining time for single and double dosing. All buttons are functional and not difficult to move the menu when determining how many seconds for each of the shots.
First experiment would need to be done with proper dosing watu with the help of digital scales, for example, 4.2 seconds for the volume of 10 grams in a singleportafilter, the same was done for double shots.
Well, at the moment, I tried setting memuta orange button, position not too freely for easy hands free to move. Finally I opened the lid so that it can be done with a burr displacement freely. Just by pressing a small button on the bottom and a round can be done fairly smoothly, with the proviso that the top lid is made of plastic opened first.
Using stepless system, so the move burr can be done little by little according the desired accuracy. In order to save copies when first setting up, burr I usually turn to the most delicate parts so that the motor can not rotate. Then just turn little by little until it reaches the appropriate size.
After the setting is completed then the portafilter stay pressed until besentuhan with a small button that will automatically activate the motor directly grinder.Sounds pretty smooth and I was able to let go of the portal without having to fear his position regardless. Kryo ability to lock the portafilter in order to remain in place allowing the user to perform other tasks while waiting for the dosing is completed primarily for use with high frequency.
There are some interesting features on the electronic display such as a counter or a counter to see how many times the tool is already in use, mode"customized" separate from the single and double the size of most of my yet further exploration.
Accuracy
That's the impression that I have to say after a few days in advance last yesterday using Kryo On Demand. The difference is only one decimal of coffee in and out to make a very precise and reluctant Kryo storing leftover coffee that usually likes to get stuck in the chute or in the doser on the grinder to use this feature.
The difference in rate of only about 0.3 to 0.5 grams of the 20 grams is far from enough for users who are concerned with the accuracy of the dosing volume.Kryo also had quite a record to be proud of in terms of speed with the ability to grind coffee around 9 seconds to 20 grams of coffee.
Although there is little constraint on the setting or at the time that it is less ergonomic settings, but overall grinder whose full name is "Kryo 65 OD" is a product that is expected to remain faithful to serve you in the long term, especially for commercial purposes.
