I've just replaced a previous model after 10+ years, little different from the current one. If you want to make use of a domestic espresso machine of your own, or a plunger coffee maker, etc, this is really the only way to grind coffee beans properly to the degree of fineness you want. It grinds quickly and well, straight into my espresso-machine head, so I can order beans in bulk and still have freshly-ground coffee every time. The instructions for use are straightforward. Just be prepared for the need to care for it properly, like any quality appliance - it needs cleaning about once a fortnight (or, say, every kilo of coffee ground) which takes may about 15 min. and can be a bit messy with some inevitable spill of ground coffee.

Don’t get me wrong, this machine is easy to use. But some care and engineering decisions could have been heeded to what the machine does AFTER you turn it on. It spits grounds everywhere (and that’s WITH the included spout sock installed properly) and I spend most of my time afterward making a pot, cleaning the machine, the bench and the floor.

Absolutely do not regret buying this product. You really notice the difference between freshly ground coffee and store-ground coffee. Ignore the manual which tells you that you can grind expresso on '12'. Once we worked out that should be '4' it was much better. A bit of 'overspray' - particularly if you grind directly in the 'portafilter' - more easily known as the thing that you put the ground coffee into' - you can avoid this to a degree by using the provided container - but then you are double handling. Overall - a consistent grind, simple to use, makes a huge difference to taste and on the lower end of the grinder prices. What more could you ask for.

Very impressed, easy to use, versatile and looks good. Acceptable noise level and grinding directly into group head only takes seconds.

I'm a proud loud coffee snob and wanted to buy this machine to take overseas where I work and didn't expect much given the price as so many 'good' grinders go for twice or three times as much. Well happy to be proved wrong. Grinder works perfectly, grinding really really well. In fact I have no complaints. I hope it lasts but as long as it goes past two years I will have felt I got my money's worth. Highly recommend for the price of AUD $180.
