EK43 Coffee Vs EK43 Turkish:

If you are looking for a grinder for precision filter on pro equipment, you need the Coffee Burr version, NOT this Turkish burr version. If you are looking for a grinder to work with espresso coffee methods, this IS the correct version for you.

NOTE: EK43 Turkish burrs simply do not grind course enough for filter, falling just short of what a most course filter methods require (Chemex, Kalita etc).
