Owning the Ceado E37S
The second tier in Ceado’s E37 series, the updated E37S is a step up from the J model both in terms of power, capacity and automatic grinding capabilities. Similar to the E37J, the E37S is stepless, meaning you have access to essentially infinite grind settings by pulling the adjustment lever on the collar. The mechanically suspended, 500 watt motor is surprisingly quiet, and tirelessly revolves the E37S’s 83mm burrs. Upgrades from earlier E37S iterations include: an improved coffee chute with an internal flap to prevent clumping, an improved tight-fitting base tray, and a crystal clear touch screen display. This brings us to the crowning feature on the E37S: it’s comprehensive controls. Not only can you program a single and double shot to dispense by time, within 1/10th of a second, the Ceado E37S features an “extra” button that can also be programmed to your liking. We usually use it for a triple shot, for those triple shot kind of mornings. Of course, you can always grind manually to top off your shot, or for a more hands on experience. Another great addition to the controls are three different modes of operation, so you can choose between selecting the dose on the screen, holding the button with your portafilter, or tapping it once or twice depending on the desired dose. Ceado has really thought of everything with the E37S.
We’re floored by Ceado’s innovative attention to detail when it comes to the design of their grinders. One feature we think is leaps and bounds above the competition is Ceado’s Steady Lock Burr Technology. This design keeps the burrs at a constant distance apart from one another, whether they’re grinding for one shot or one hundred. Not only does this make the grind seriously consistent, Steady Lock Burrs never need to be calibrated. So, if your E37S is dialed in already, you can literally lift the burrs apart for cleaning, screw them back together, and grind a great shot right away without any adjustment necessary. If you like the design, but need more power, take a look at the E37T; for a doser model, check out the impressive E10 or E92.
