 ## Overview of 64mm burrs
 
 ### SSP 64 HU
-The SSP 64 High Uniformity is an espresso focused burr, meaning it can easily grind _fine enough_ for espresso, and be easy to dial in. 64 HU gives a full-bodied shot, while it also provides more flavor seperation than stock burrs, making it an excellent option for people looking for tasty espresso, that still provides the body/mouthfeel they're looking for. Not considered as _high clarity_ - more a good middle ground between body/mouthfeel and excellent flavors.

 ### SSP 64 MP 
-SSP 64 Multi-Purpose (as in both brew & espresso) is considered the _high clarity burr_ in the 64mm landscape. It gives good flavor seperation at the cost of _thin shots_ / a lack of body/mouthfeel. Acids can get very pronounced which might not be to your liking, however this can express the fruity notes better. Not for everyone! Don't fall into the _search for clarity rabbithole_. Can be very 'harsh.'

 ## Overview of 98mm Burrs
+There has been much discussion over which burrs to choose, and apart from the 'sproability' (can build pressure on espresso) of some burrs, dont forget:

+![98 Comparison](/images/Burr_catalog/98_OVERVIEW.jpg)
+
+
 ### SSP 98 HU
+Generally the go-to intense flavor 98 burr. When it came out considered the 98 counterpart of 64MP but with more body and more intensity, and less finicky. Option-O uses the 98HU as standard burr for their P100 grinder.

 _LU vs HU outer edge_
 
 ### SSP 98 LU
+Great flavor seperation, lower body & less fines than HU, doesn't really do classic espresso, however many people prefer turboshots from the 98LU.

 ### SSP 98 ULF 
-SSP 98 Ultra Low Fines - I know its _very_ low fines, and therefore not really suited for espresso grinding in the traditional manner. Please add!
+SSP 98 Ultra Low Fines - 
+Review from @musicoffee: 
+Nice acidity and sweetness levels, more body and lingering aftertaste compared to 98 Brew, less clarity/seperation but not too bad, pretty juicy cup with more of the mid and bass notes where Brew is very focused on high notes like florals. These mid and bottom notes are to me the more generic traditional coffee notes like caramel/chocolate/toffee/nutty/cooked and dark ripe fruit etc. which I think I get the least of with Brew (especially lowest darkest notes) and Brew can be very tea-like and probably a little alien to normies with a lot of beans.
+The cup has that machined burr presentation but there is some blending and complexity to it and a little bitterness in the mix at least at this extraction (same TDS as I did with Brew and HU with this bean, will try more coarse). Still SSP presentation but a little toned down compared to HU/Brew/LU. I don’t find signs of less fines with these in use.

-### SSP 98 'OLD'

-### EK43 pre 2015 (now considered as SSP 98 'cast' again)
+### Mahlkonig EK43 pre 2015 or 'A' (revived under SSP 98 cast or EK pre 2015 clone)
 The original MK / Ditting burr was what _made_ the EK. Still considered as a good burr, however around 2015 the EKs started shipping with a more finey burr, to accomodate the recent hype in using it for espresso. We think Mahlkonig themselves actually had no idea why it peaked interest at the time. Very similar looking to post-2015. Serial number of pre-2015 ends with A.
