As much as I appreciated my Sette 270, there were a few things I didn’t like about it:

• The fine adjustment mechanism is weird and unpredictable (due to the dual-ring thing)
• It is incredibly loud
• Grinding for espresso usually took 3-4 cycles due to popcorning
• The dang felt pretty huge (relative to my tiny kitchen)
• It’s built for keeping stuff in the hopper rather than single-dosing

I was considering a number of other grinders (most notably the Option-O Lagom Mini) but then in April, Timemore announced the Timemore Sculptor series, in a number of sizes and grind profiles. And the requisite Kickstarter had it on a pretty deep discount.

So anyway, I backed the 064s (64mm stepless variant) and expected to wait.

And wait I did! But the lovely new grinder arrived today.
