Brushed aluminium rather than a gloss colourway, and a shorter body than the 50s Style grinders it sits next to. This is the one built for an espresso machine.
The specification looks like a downgrade and is not. The CGF02 holds 240 g of beans where the colourful CGF01 holds 350 g, and it costs more. The reason is what it grinds into: the CGF02 has a steel portafilter support and an aluminium dosing funnel, so the basket of an espresso machine clips straight in and takes the dose without a cup, a spoon or a scale in between. The CGF01 comes with a plastic filter centring support instead, because it is built for drip, plunger and stovetop. Smaller hopper, more machine.
Same 150 W motor and the same anti-static system, which is what stops fine espresso grounds clinging to every surface within reach. The grinder assembly and the support plate both come off for cleaning, and the whole thing is 4 cm shorter than the CGF01 so it fits under a wall unit next to a machine.
