Uploaded September 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

Ostentatious coffee jewelry, or buy-it-for-life brew tool? After months on bar with the HG-2, I can say the reality is more complicated, and more interesting, than either.

What You’ll Learn
- Why the HG-2 is not just about cup quality — and why that matters
- How the gearbox, workflow, and burr set change the espresso + filter experience
- The quirks and compromises you need to know before buying
- Why ethical and integrity in design manufacturing are at the heart of Weber’s appeal
- My honest take: who this grinder is really for

If you’ve ever wondered whether a $1700 hand grinder is worth it, this review is for you.
