As someone who’s used grinders for around the last thirty five years, These flower ‘cutters’ from OMD are completely next-level, night & day better to anything I’ve previously tried or owned (without doubt).
Instead of crushing, grinder clogging, inconsistent lumpy-dusty grinds (which most other grinders on the market turn into after three or four uses) this beast just chops through everything with incredible ease , dropping the fresh cuts into a deep storage bowl that will hold over two grams of beautifully consistent medium cut goodness with ease.
If your not fully convinced, take a look around on youtube etc & you’ll see/hear a lot of full-time reviewers (who own hundreds of different grinders) who still reach for an Old Mate grinder as their daily.
Obviously it’s not cheap, but then neither were your flowers! & they deserve this imho.
I’d also like to say a big thanks to Ben, his robot & the factory pup & cat for making such great products! Keep it up guys :)
Stellar product and top notch customer service. Ben is a legend!
i've owned a few santa cruz's shredders and a couple brilliant cut grinders
the Old mate aroma 3 is hands down the best of them all
i loved my brilliant cut until the anodizing started chipping away.
that no issue with the Aroma 3. all stainless is the way to go.
this things is a buy once device cry once device. i think this grinder will out live me. its SOLID !!
As someone that is often dealing with flowers the scissors were kind of hurting my hands, this grinder effortless grind quickly and efficiently any kind of bud(fluffy or compacted) as a fun toy with the spinning.
I would treat this purchase as a investment because you won't need another one in a life time. I thinking to keep the 3 pieces at home and get a second one only 2 pieces to carry with me.
When something last forever I don't mind the investment, im 31yo if I stay here until 75yo will be more than 40 years of use and last.hahaha
200/40 = 5 dollar per year its not too bad
I'm really impressed with the aroma 3. It's heavier than I expected. There's a very satisfying clunk as the parts lock together. It's totally a fidget toy! The grind suits me for dry herb vaping with a solo 3. I've thrown only a handful of buds through it so far but it is smooth as silk with a little or a lot. The amount that can store in the bowl is perfect for a day or more worth of mulled flower, for my usage anyway. Complete buy it once product. Thanks old mate, your work is excellent.
