If you're doing this, you may as well leave them in the bag and just leave the bag open, as the hopper (any hopper, not just the hopper on the Sage grinders) doesn't protect against the environment. Adjust grind time by precise 1 second increments for the perfectly controlled dose for any brew size.

Aside from the functionality of the Sage Smart Grinder Pro what’s really important os what’s under the hood. This particular grinder did have a few minor issues in its earlier designs that Sage have managed to iron out.

As you get finer with the grind for espresso, you'll find it does clump up a bit, and I found that this happened more with age, possibly as the burrs started to wear a bit. Once you have chosen your preferred grind, and whether it is for ‘cups’ or ‘shots’, the integrated Dosing IQ technology ensures the dose is the same every time. I alternate between espresso and V60 which should be easy with this, but I use a different type of bean for each so I’ll only be putting a small amount in the hopper each time and grinding it all, so not filling up the hopper. I bought this grinder for pairing with my Gaggia Classic, which was a used 2003 model, but also for Aeropress, cafetiere, and V60, and this is the main reason I was looking at the Sage grinders in the first place, as they appeared to be perfect for varied use.
