The KOPI Deva’s features
The KOPI Deva is a single dose coffee grinder that adapts to all preparation methods, from espresso to cold brew. Its strengths:
- 64mm flat stainless steel burrs: ensure precise and consistent grinding.
- Micrometric adjustment: adjust grind fineness with great precision.
- Adjustable rotation speed (200 to 1000 rpm): adapt the speed according to your extraction method.
- Minimal retention (0.2 g with the RDT method): almost no waste between two doses.
- Patented burr alignment: guarantees perfectly consistent grinding.
- Rechargeable battery power: claimed autonomy of 3 kg of ground coffee per charge, for cordless use.
Design and durability
The modern and minimalist design of the KOPI Deva makes it an attractive object. The choice of materials and overall design demonstrate genuine attention to detail.
While it provides freedom of movement, it raises questions about motor durability, the environmental impact of batteries and their wear over charging cycles.
Availability and price
In 2021, 144 backers funded the project for a total of £81,989. Despite this, the brand experienced production delays.
Today, the KOPI Deva is available on the official Kopi Concepts website with shipping scheduled for Q4 of the year.
Starting price: £650 (approximately €760) with Mazzer burrs included.
This price is high compared to other high-performance grinders. For example, a DF64 can be found for under €400. Additionally, Kopi Concepts being a young brand, it cannot offer the same customer support as established players.
In Summary
The KOPI Deva appeals with its design, advanced features, and innovative positioning. Nevertheless, its high price and the question of battery durability call for caution before taking the plunge.
