Ceado E6C Chameleon Coffee Grinder

Ceado E6C Chameleon Coffee Grinder

Ceado's E6C Chameleon grinder doesn’t change colors…but it does adapt perfectly to whatever style of brewing you’re feeling on any given day. Stepless, micrometric grind size adjustments from espresso-fine to cold-brew-coarse are made with a single rotation of the smooth-turning collar, which features an adjustable grind setting indicator with easy-to-read markings, so you can dial in for any grind size with ease. Then, simply start the motor, load your coffee dose, and pillowy, clump-free grounds are delivered directly into your dosing cup. 

Features & Benefits

At the core of the E6C “Chameleon” is a set of custom 64mm flat steel burrs with Ceado’s Opalglide coating that protects them from water damage, so you can RDT to your heart’s delight. Powered by a 460 W motor, the Chameleon dispenses 3.5 grams per second at espresso sizes, and 4.8 grams per second at filter sizes. Thanks to the anti-static jig, these grounds are delivered clump-free directly into your dosing cup.

The full range of grind sizes, from finer than espresso to coarser than cold brew, are accessible with a single rotation of the smooth-turn collar, which features large, legible markings and a rubber grip that makes it easy to rotate. So, if you’re the kind of person who makes an espresso in the morning, maybe a French press in the afternoon and perhaps sets up a cold brew overnight, the Chameleon makes switching between these different grind settings simple. 

The Chameleon sits at a 70° angle, which, along with the included silicone bellows and removable grounds chute, helps achieve near-zero retention, so you get fresh coffee every time you brew. Mounted below the grounds chute is an integrated light that illuminates the grounds as they're dispensed.

For those unfamiliar, Ceado is a family-owned brand that designs and builds all their products in a small town outside of Venice, Italy. They’re renowned for producing some of the highest-quality grinders and brewing equipment in the game, and the Chameleon does justice to this legacy with its commercial-grade construction and performance. Like Ceado’s most premium grinders, the grind chamber on the Chameleon is accessible with the removal of just three screws, and because the top burr is fixed, you won’t lose your grind size when you open it up for cleaning. 

Included with your Chameleon is a pair of dosing cups you can use to hot start the grinder for improved performance, and a cleaning brush. 

Why You Should Get It

For the price, the Ceado E6C Chameleon offers unparalleled build quality, performance, and versatility from a family-owned brand renowned for excellence in commercial-grade coffee and espresso grinding. If you aren’t particularly interested in pigeonholing yourself to a single roast or brew method, the Chameleon gives you the power to prepare your coffee however you like it, from espresso to cold brew, with ease.
