The Real-wold Performance
In practice, the V4’s burr set delivers on its promise of uniformity.

The wider turning radius does indeed make grinding feel less strenuous, allowing for quicker preparation even for espresso doses. Temperature stability during grinding is excellent, as expected with a manual grinder of this build quality.
