Posted Wed Jun 25, 2008, 1:37pm Subject: Anyone experienced with the (new?) Pasquini Lux? (I want an affordable Anfim)
I only make espresso and will be upgrading to a Gaggia Classic soon most likely. I have seen this grinder on some sites and it is about $350 new. I don't want to pay much more and don't think any other Anfim made grinders (new) go for this price or less (let me know if someone knows they do).
It is stepless apparently, which is a real plus. I want great espresso. The Anfim lines seem to rival Rocky or even Mazzer Mini and supposedly have less coffee loss/clogs. But I can't even find any reviews on the Lux.

I haven't seen the Pasquini Lux in person, but from the pictures and specs I've seen it does not look like an Anfim to me. Most of the Anfims have flat burrs. This looks more like the IMAT Lux grinder, which seems to show up under a lot of different badges (Pavoni, Innova, Isomac, Ascaso, Iberital, etc.); see the related discussion here.

It's a Lux, standard conical burr, worm gear adjustment, plastic spout. At the $US prices I've seen on various websites, it's about $100.00 too expensive. As it is, functionally equivalent to the Iberital Challenge Doserless. Buy the Lelit PL53 instead; same guts, better skin, less static, and US$239.00 at 1st-line a lot cheaper. None of these grinders have anything to do with Anfim.

Someone was selling the nemox lux on ebay a few weeks ago for 160+ postage. I was considering getting one but bought a used commercial grinder instead.
Looked to be the cheapest grinder for espresso I could find.
