The S2C Advantage: What Makes the Grinding Different?

The heart of the Bricks 01S is the patentedS2C (Spike to Cut) burr set. Unlike traditional conical burrs that "crush" beans, the S2C geometry first spikes the bean into smaller fragments before cutting them into a uniform size.

The result?

• Higher Clarity: Fewer "fines" in your filter coffee for a cleaner, tea-like transparency.

• Better Crema: Consistent particle size for espresso that allows for higher extraction without the bitterness of uneven grounds.

Key Feature: The Rotary Knocker

Borrowing a fan-favourite feature from the more expensive Sculptor 078S, the Bricks includes amanual rotary knocker. With a simple twist after your grind is done, a mechanical hammer vibrates the internal chute to release every last gram of coffee. This makes it a truesingle-dose grinder,meaning what you put in is what you get out.

Dialing In: From Espresso to Pour-Over

With150 micro-adjustable steps, the Bricks 01S offers a level of control usually reserved for grinders twice its price.

• Espresso (0–45 clicks): To-the-micron precision for dialing in that perfect 30-second shot.

• Moka Pot (15–60 clicks): Ideal for the classic Bialetti or AeroPress.

• Filter/Pour-Over (75–120 clicks): Uniform, clean grounds for V60 or Chemex.

Final Verdict: Is the Bricks 01S Right For You?
