Fiorenzato All Ground Coffee Grinder - Why I chose this grinder to use at home.
The All Ground coffee grinder by Fiorenzato really is quite revolutionary in the way it has been designed and engineered. The All Ground is a high end domestic coffee grinder however it could also most certainly be utilized in smaller low volume coffee businesses.
When you first glance at the All Ground you will note that it just looks beautiful and extremely well finished. Looking at the redesigned grinding collar you'll see that there's no numbers to be found unlike most other grinders. There are just three sections marked Espresso, Filter & Mocha making it very easy to change between grind settings and grind off coffee to suit whatever your're planning to brew. This is huge!
Next, Fiorenzato have made it super simple to remove the top burr set so you can quickly access the internal grind chamber and give it a clean out if you need to. In doing so you'll also note the beautiful looking flat burr grinder blades which are also a major innovation and improvement.
The blades are a flat 64 millimeter titanium coated M340 steel burr set that will last nearly a lifetime in domestic use. Fiorenzato have also designed them so they will not only grind espresso really well, but also grind for mocha and filter equally as good. Another clever innovation that you will find on the All Ground is the way the dosing chute is held in magnetically so you can easily remove it for cleaning. So much of what Fiorenzato have re-engineered just makes using the All Ground far simpler and more efficient compared to other grinders.
In this video Luke covers off in detail everything mentioned above and a whole lot more to explain why he has chosen this as his grinder of choice to use at home. Thank you for watching and please leave us a comment if you have any questions about the All Ground or anything else coffee related for that matter.

I didn't plan on being next to this when
0:02
I wrote this so this doesn't make sense
0:03
because I was gonna let go
0:05
and there it is
0:07
[Music]
0:11
here with you the grinder that I have
0:13
chosen for myself at home and I'm really
0:16
excited about the technology that this
0:17
grinder has so here we have the new all
0:20
ground from Fiorenzato
0:23
[Music]
0:51
now this grinder boasts a whole range of
0:54
different features you can grind
0:57
espresso mocha and filter very easily
1:00
with an interactive digital display with
1:03
super easy cleaning of your Burrs and a
1:06
really easy grind shoot which removes so
1:09
you can clean it it's been some time
1:10
since technology has changed in the
1:12
grinder market and the engineers at
1:14
fiorenzato have redesigned the way that
1:17
we make grind adjustments it's just
1:19
super clever they have answered the
1:21
number one question that we get asked
1:23
about coffee grinders from both the home
1:25
and the commercial Market
1:27
what growing number setting do I set my
1:30
grinder on to get the best extraction
1:33
this is like the biggest can of worms
1:35
question that makes me think where do I
1:37
start what level of experience does this
1:40
person have with coffee
1:42
are they for real do they know that
1:44
grind setting is one of the most
1:46
important changes you have to make it's
1:48
definitely not a set and forget
1:50
historically Grinders have had a collar
1:53
with a metal thread on the top which
1:55
where the Burr is attached to and then
1:58
they have the second bird attached to
2:00
the electric motor underneath and on the
2:02
top collar there's a fine thread and as
2:05
you wind that down the two Burrs come
2:07
closer together to give us a point where
2:10
they almost touch which is where we
2:12
would have an espresso grind and if you
2:14
were to be removing that winding it up
2:17
the space between the two Burrs would be
2:20
further apart giving us a coarser grind
2:22
so that's basically the variance that
2:24
you're going to have between espresso
2:25
and say a filter but you'd have to turn
2:28
that collar multiple times to go all the
2:30
way up to a filter and it's very hard to
2:33
get back to where you need to be for
2:35
espresso on these collars there's
2:37
usually a set of numbers that gives you
2:38
a reference point however once the
2:41
blades wear these numbers are pretty
2:44
much a waste of time because they
2:46
continually to turn all the way around
2:48
the collar and might end up at the very
2:50
back of the grinder so it's very easy to
2:53
lose track and if you're having to wind
2:55
that multiple times you'd have to
2:57
remember how many times you've wound it
3:00
up or down to get yourself back in the
3:02
exact same spot and no two grinders on
3:05
the market are going to have the same
3:07
system so if my grinder has a number
3:10
three for espresso you might have a
3:12
totally different brand and it might be
3:13
sitting on six so it's so hard for us to
3:16
communicate that to customers making it
3:18
a long conversation time and time again
3:20
with a huge number of Grinders in the
3:22
marketplace Fiorenzato Grinders are
3:24
made in Italy now eighty percent of this
3:26
grinder is actually made in-house so
3:29
that allows them to maintain the quality
3:31
of the products they're putting in there
3:33
obviously the beautiful design and
3:35
Engineering they've got full control
3:36
over that and they can make sure that
3:38
the accuracy of their workmanship is
3:40
perfect they really have made a great
3:43
looking grinder which is beautiful
3:44
Italian classic styling so to turn the
3:48
grinder on down the bottom there's a
3:49
beautiful rotation little switch it's a
3:51
really nice little switch and it will
3:53
activate the display and the first thing
3:56
you see is a QR code so if you scan that
3:58
QR code it'll take you to the Fiorenzato
4:00
website it is in Italian so you do need
4:03
to change that over to the English
4:04
language that's going to allow you to
4:06
access the user manuals and all the
4:08
other data that you may want to find on
4:10
the machine and if you're a tech person
4:12
that's going to give you access to all
4:13
the spare parts lists that you may need
4:15
as well to service the grinder so let's
4:17
start at the top of the grinder and work
4:19
our way down the hopper is a 250 gram
4:22
Hopper with a really nice slide and I've
4:25
found that when you've got beans in
4:27
there if you do need to close that off
4:28
it doesn't seem to jam up with beans so
4:31
that's quite handy you've got a cover in
4:33
there to reduce any popcorning which I
4:36
don't think there's a lot of popcorning
4:37
happening in this grinder and when you
4:40
remove the
4:41
um the hopper I think it's been used on
4:43
other models because there is a hole
4:44
here where you could lock it in and hold
4:47
it in place but it sits really firm in
4:49
there so once it's in it doesn't seem to
4:52
move so you don't need to have that
4:53
locking screw and the reason you're not
4:56
going to have the Locking screw is
4:57
because of the way you can change the
5:00
burr set and this is where the engineers
5:02
have just done an amazing job
5:04
everything that's happening with this
5:06
grinder
5:08
on the top here you've got a big bean
5:10
and a small Bean which tells you which
5:12
way to turn the grinder for finer or
5:15
coarser now to be honest that's a little
5:17
bit trivial that's something that was on
5:18
Old Grinders because as you change this
5:21
burst set to go fine or coarser on the
5:24
top where it says espresso mocha or
5:26
filter the front digital display is
5:28
going to change in different colors so
5:31
you know exactly what you're grinding
5:33
and we all know that espresso is finer
5:35
and filters are far coarser and there's
5:38
a very specific range that's highlighted
5:40
on the top with a whole range of little
5:43
Open Circles which you can adjust
5:45
individually to get that exact grind
5:48
that you need now in the espresso
5:50
section you're going to have two options
5:52
the single cup or the Double Cup and as
5:55
you go across to the mocha there's just
5:57
going to be one button there that you
5:59
press and as long as you hold that it's
6:01
going to grind out the right amount of
6:03
grime that you need until you let go and
6:06
the same with the filter section
6:08
you can go all the way back to the exact
6:11
Circle that you may have had in espresso
6:13
and grind espresso again really really
6:16
easy
6:17
this collar turns easier than any other
6:20
grinder on the market
6:22
now I'm talking about a direct a direct
6:26
collar that's attached not talking about
6:28
a gear system or anything like that
6:29
because they are quite super smooth but
6:31
you can literally do this
6:33
very easily it's got a beautiful silicon
6:36
surround there that's got nice
6:38
all-ground wording in it it actually
6:40
feels really premium because when we
6:42
talk about espresso we think we're
6:45
dialing in we want to get this really
6:47
great extraction and we want to get
6:49
beautiful juicy thick drips and it's
6:52
something we're really focusing on it's
6:54
quite special where typically it's been
6:56
very clunky when we've had to change a
6:58
color on a grinder it's usually very
7:00
mechanical very heavy and not that
7:02
greater experience so that's a real
7:04
pleasure to change the grind just from a
7:07
turning perspective
7:09
as you turn it
7:10
you can hear the grinder click which
7:13
means it's a stepped grinder now there
7:15
must be a little ball in there that's
7:17
basically taking you through all of
7:18
those steps so it's not a stepless
7:21
grinder but I haven't found that to be
7:23
an issue when I'm trying to grind for my
7:25
espresso and it's definitely not an
7:27
issue when you're up in the filter or
7:29
the mocker style settings there's a
7:31
clear little red mark on the top which
7:34
makes you line up the red arrow so that
7:37
you can remove the whole burst set now
7:40
this is where the grinder gets super
7:41
cool so if you grab the collar and
7:44
rotate that all the way clockwise the
7:46
red arrow will match up with the little
7:49
red marker on the front
7:51
you'll see that the collar will start to
7:53
shift a little bit and a bot button will
7:55
pop up if you press that button and then
7:58
slightly turn that collar one more time
8:00
the whole collar removes
8:02
and then you've got access to the burr set
8:04
which you can easily remove now there's
8:08
no grinder on the market that can do it
8:10
that quickly that's going to expose to
8:12
you the grinding chamber and you can see
8:14
here these amazing set of 64 mil M 340
8:20
steel blades which is the only type of
8:23
Steel which is specifically designed for
8:25
food safety then they've titanium coated
8:28
them and they've got that really
8:29
beautiful rose gold finish so that's a
8:32
really nice treat to see something so
8:34
beautiful inside a grinder now this is
8:36
going to stay sharp for 1.4 tonnes now
8:39
if we're going to do some maths on that
8:41
if you're in a cafe environment and
8:43
you're doing five kilos of coffee a week
8:45
that's actually going to take you about
8:47
five and a half years just to use up
8:49
these blades so you take that home and
8:52
you're only doing 500 grams a week these
8:55
things these blades are going to last
8:56
you an absolute lifetime so the moment
8:58
that you remove that burst out there's a
9:01
warning safety sign that comes up really
9:03
clearly on the display so you can't hurt
9:06
yourself basically it means that we're
9:09
disengaging the motor and you can get in
9:11
there and clean it so ideally you'd want
9:14
to turn the grinder off but at least
9:15
there's a really clear indicator for
9:17
safety there showing that there is a
9:19
possibility you could you know grind
9:22
your fingers essentially
9:23
now that it's out you can get in there
9:25
and give it a really good clean you can
9:27
see there's a little bit of grind
9:29
retention in there but we're looking at
9:31
about one to 1.5 grams of retention that
9:35
is held past that burst set through into
9:38
the dosing Chute so you can easily give
9:40
that a bit of a clean out and a brush
9:43
pop it back in the burset pop on the
9:45
collar slightly turn it and you'll see
9:47
the button you'll just have to press it
9:49
to locate it to turn anti-clockwise and
9:52
then you can set back to the exact grind
9:54
setting that you had before you decided
9:56
to remove your blades now as I said
9:58
earlier 80 of this grinder is made
10:00
inside the feron's auto Factory in Italy
10:02
now what they've done with this burst
10:05
set is they have managed to get the
10:07
teeth cut in a way that it actually does
10:09
a fantastic espresso and filter grind so
10:13
typically we haven't been able to get
10:15
one set of Burrs that would do both of
10:17
these very well and when you get down
10:19
into the nitty-gritty around
10:21
fines and super fines or Boulders and
10:24
all these different variables of actual
10:26
grind size if you were to put it in sort
10:28
of some microscope you'll see there's a
10:30
whole range there but they've really
10:32
made sure that this burst set can do
10:34
both of them now there's no doubt
10:37
there's some other specific Burrs on the
10:38
market that will do either of them even
10:40
better
10:41
but you'd have to have multiple Grinders
10:43
to be able to get the best out of those
10:45
particular burst sets so it's amazing to
10:48
have such thought put into one set of
10:50
blades and the ability to be able to
10:52
change from those grind settings so
10:54
easily in one grinder
10:56
the motor that powers this is a 250 watt
10:59
motor and that's going to help reduce
11:02
some of the friction that's going to
11:04
happen on a 64 mil birth set so it will
11:07
push those grinds out pretty quickly and
11:10
there is talk about a pump an air pump
11:13
that you could put on top of your Hopper
11:14
that would allow you to help flush out
11:17
that little bit of retention that we're
11:19
seeing in this grinder so I'm very happy
11:22
with the espresso setting which I've
11:24
been able to get with this grinder and
11:26
I've been using it for quite a few weeks
11:28
now and the depth of flavor that I'm
11:30
getting from this this burst set the
11:32
clarity and the Christmas has been
11:34
really great so it's definitely not
11:35
dulling down our beans so the speed of
11:38
the motor and the quality of the Burrs
11:40
makes those two things work and I'm
11:43
really happy with that quality so when
11:45
you're on espresso you've got two
11:47
options which is the single cup and the
11:49
Double Cup and that's basically used for
11:51
you to grind less or more into a single
11:53
or a double portafilter handle now once
11:56
you press that button it's going to
11:58
activate an amount of time and it's very
12:00
easy to change that if you just press
12:02
and hold let's say the double cut button
12:05
it will change the menu and show you how
12:07
much time is allocated and you can hit
12:09
the plus or minus button very simply to
12:13
increase or decrease the amount of grind
12:15
that's going to end up in your
12:16
portafilter and with a simple press
12:18
you're back ready to grind again when
12:21
you activate the grind button it's got a
12:23
little time dial which shows you a cool
12:26
little icon going around which is kind
12:29
of neat and also the time is displayed
12:31
on how much is left for that grind to
12:33
come out
12:34
so when you turn the collar in that same
12:36
menu and you get to the mocha or the
12:39
filter you simply just press and hold
12:41
that button for the amount of grind that
12:43
you're after
12:44
now in these two settings I'd probably
12:46
advise to do a pre-way and pre-dose into
12:50
this grinder and you just have to think
12:52
about that extra one to one and a half
12:54
grams extra in the top because there may
12:57
be a little bit of grime retention but
12:59
that's going to allow you to get much
13:00
closer to your end recipe for a mocha
13:03
pot or your filter recipe when grinding
13:06
through here otherwise you'd have to try
13:08
and weigh that grind at the end and as
13:11
you get to a coarser grind it gets quite
13:12
fluffy and a little bit staticky and it
13:14
can go everywhere so my advice
13:17
pre-weight if you're going to use those
13:19
options
13:19
however ferenzato has thought about it
13:22
and they give you this beautiful little
13:24
grinding chamber it's got a lid on it
13:27
with a silicon top and you could grind a
13:30
fair amount in there if you're heading
13:32
away for a weekend and you wanted some
13:33
pre-ground coffee for some pour overs or
13:35
Aero presses it simply just seals on
13:39
and
13:40
you can pop the
13:42
silicon top down into itself and pop on
13:46
the cap
13:48
now when you actually want to grind just
13:51
simply pull up this top section and it
13:54
sits beautifully in place
13:56
and lock straight over the grind shoe so
13:59
that all of that grind ends up inside
14:01
your canister that's pretty neat
14:04
so you've just done some filter grind
14:06
and you think can I really clear that
14:08
out easily to be able to get back to
14:10
Espresso well this whole grind shoot is
14:14
actually held in by a magnet you can
14:16
remove that and give it a clean very
14:19
easily so that's a super smart
14:21
um
14:22
piece of tech that we haven't had in
14:25
other Grinders and I'm pretty sure
14:26
that's across a lot of models on
14:28
ferenzato as well as you're grinding
14:30
into the portafilter there's a really
14:33
solid portafilter rest and a little clip
14:36
in there and that's fully adjustable so
14:38
you could fit that to any group handle
14:39
that you have and I find that it does
14:42
actually grind into the front sort of
14:46
third of the actual basket and then the
14:48
grinds tend to fall back into the back
14:51
edge of the grinder as it's filling up
14:53
in that kind of pyramid shape
14:55
now for me with 22.5 grams which is our
14:58
standard recipe I do find because it
15:01
really does fluff up the grind in this
15:03
grinder there's not a lot of clumping
15:05
that's happening I tend to have to give
15:07
it a little bit of a tap to make sure I
15:09
can collapse that coffee so that it
15:11
doesn't spill over the edges
15:19
thank you
15:20
could simply use a dosing pot and that
15:23
would solve that or if you've got a
15:25
smaller amount of coffee I don't think
15:26
you're going to have that problem so in
15:28
terms of physical space with the hopper
15:30
on top we're going to be 440 High and
15:34
the grinder weighs 9 kilos so it's
15:36
definitely a solid bit of Kit to have on
15:39
your bench and it's not going to move
15:40
around at all in true Italian styling
15:43
there's a range of options to suit
15:45
everybody this is the matte arctic white
15:48
which is a beautiful representation and
15:50
that's why I've got it here in my house
15:51
and then there is what they call a deep
15:54
matte black so it's kind of this satin
15:57
matte which is very stunning then you
16:00
can get a range of Timber covers that go
16:02
over the display and some of these um
16:05
Chrome police pieces can be in a
16:07
stainless steel finish a brass finish
16:10
and then you can get a stainless steel
16:12
option for the whole grinder now there
16:15
has been a partnership deal with
16:17
ferenzato and San Remo so you may have
16:20
seen this grinder without any sort of
16:22
badging on it in a whole range of
16:24
beautiful color of the rainbow colors
16:26
now that'll match all of the San Remo
16:28
cubes and usually they're sold together
16:30
as a set and that's how you can get
16:33
access to some matcha greens and yellows
16:36
and reds and and blues there's a whole
16:38
other range of colors there but you'd
16:40
have to source that ideally with your
16:43
San Remo Cube and they'll match
16:45
beautifully so as I said at the start of
16:47
this review I'm really excited about the
16:49
technology and the ability to get access
16:51
to this burst set because we find with a
16:55
lot of our home users and some Baristas
16:57
there's this big negative around 1
16:59
wanting to change the grind or even get
17:01
access to clean out your grinder to make
17:04
sure that it is working properly and
17:06
this technology of the quick release
17:08
burst set is going to give that control
17:11
back to the user to make sure that they
17:13
are getting a good quality grind that
17:15
it's all nice and clean and that they
17:18
can reset back to the exact position
17:20
they are in beforehand we spend a lot of
17:23
time teaching people to understand how
17:25
to reset the Burrs and get them in the
17:27
right spot for espresso and for many
17:29
years people were told don't touch the
17:31
grind on a grinder but with this
17:34
technology it's going to make it so much
17:36
easier so well done ferenzato for
17:39
changing that in our industry so no
17:40
product is perfect but the ferensado all
17:43
ground really does position itself to be
17:45
a high-end quality home machine or great
17:50
for the cafe environment and there's
17:52
nothing really being changing for many
17:54
years in this space but to have them put
17:58
some thought and time into energy which
17:59
costs them a lot of money to work out
18:01
how to re-engineer this blade access and
18:05
the ability to clean our grinding Chute
18:07
it shows their commitment to all levels
18:10
of Entry or home to high-end consumer
18:14
Grinders that they want to make sure
18:16
they're producing a great product for
18:18
everyone now there's a big gap in the
18:20
cafe industry which we've been trying to
18:22
I guess get around for quite some time
18:24
and that is the Cafe's ability to be
18:27
able to grind off some retail product
18:29
for the customer over the counter so
18:32
let's say you go in and have a coffee at
18:34
your favorite Cafe every single day and
18:37
you really want to enjoy those beans but
18:38
it's in a full one kilo bag now you
18:42
can't really grind it very well with any
18:46
other grinder you'd have no idea where
18:48
to go to to get to a mocha or a filter
18:50
so this now allows the cafe to be able
18:54
to make that adjustment quite quickly
18:56
grind off an amount of coffee for you to
18:59
take home and then get straight back to
19:02
where they were going to be making their
19:04
espresso
19:05
now if I was a barista and I didn't have
19:07
this technology and my boss asked me to
19:09
make that change I would just tell him
19:12
to go away that would be ridiculous
19:13
there's no way you could ask someone to
19:15
do that on an old grinder that is an
19:18
adjusting via a thread collar it just
19:22
wouldn't happen
19:23
so it opens up a lot of opportunities
19:25
for cafes now to be able to sell retail
19:27
products over the counter using the same
19:30
blend that they're currently offering so
19:33
that's where this grinder can have a
19:36
huge impact in the industry
19:38
now it's not a single dose grinder and
19:42
that's where this technology gets a
19:44
little bit muddy because we've got the
19:46
ability to go from espresso mocha and
19:48
filter but there's a little bit of grime
19:50
retention and we have a big Hopper so
19:53
typically a filter grinder would be a
19:56
zero retention grinder allowing you to
19:58
put lots of small amounts of coffee in
20:00
and changing from a decaf a blend or
20:03
your favorite single origin very easily
20:05
with no Grime retention so it's hard to
20:08
sort of really position this grinder
20:11
against the competition because they
20:13
will do that side very well but they
20:15
won't have a hopper and they won't have
20:17
an easy guide for you to reference what
20:20
grind setting you should be on so it's
20:22
kind of sitting in a mix between the two
20:24
worlds that makes it quite unique the
20:28
biggest thing to consider is that if you
20:30
do have this Hopper full of beans and
20:32
you're going to be grinding from
20:34
espresso and then heading up to mocha or
20:37
filter and you want to make make your
20:39
way back to Espresso you really need to
20:42
be managing how many beans are under the
20:44
hopper slide and my advice is to know
20:48
what that amount is and clear that out
20:51
for espressos first before you start to
20:53
go and change some grinds because you
20:56
can't go back to Espresso from Filter
20:59
without purging some of the grind as
21:02
you're adjusting that collar the top
21:04
burst set will clamp on the bottom
21:06
versat and it will stop the grinder from
21:08
working now that's not going to be
21:11
different on any other grinder it's the
21:12
same problem we're going to have so just
21:14
remember to keep purging as you're going
21:16
finer back to Espresso and you won't
21:18
have that problem
21:20
so for me this grinder really does fit
21:22
in that high-end Home Market or entry
21:25
level grinder for a cafe and there's
21:28
just packed full of features which we
21:29
don't see in other Grinders so well done
21:32
ferenzato for re-engineering the humble
21:34
domestic high-end coffee grinder and
21:37
allowing people like myself to have
21:39
flexibility in grind and not having to
21:41
buy multiple Grinders in a confined
21:44
space in our home so if you've got any
21:46
questions about the ferenzato all ground
21:48
hey leave it down the bottom I'd love to
21:50
answer those for you I hope this has
21:52
given you an idea as to whether this
21:54
grinder is going to suit you in your
21:56
home environment or the cafe so thanks
21:58
very much for watching catch you next
22:00
time cheers
