After 6 years it’s still going strong
Update: After 6 years it’s still going strong!! I was just looking at my past orders and noticed this was purchased in 2015. I use it daily and it works 100% after hundreds of pounds of coffee. I make cold brew daily and go through 4 lbs of coffee a month easily. I also make espresso and regular coffee using this machine. Swapping beans not super easy but I don’t have experience with other machines so it could be that they are all the same.I will say that it’s messy to use and I don’t like the nose level or the fact that the indicator is hard to find. I also think there are cheaper better models today but at the time this was it. Unlike some on here who have complained about the longevity, I have not had that experience.I am fairly new to the concept of all the gadgetry involved with making coffee and espresso. I am however a long time consumer of kitchen gadgets and shopping for a good value.SUMMARY: Works exceptionally well, looks great, easy to operate and has all the necessary functionality. I cant speak on the longevity which would factor into the overall value.OUT OF THE BOX – It feels heavy and sturdy and it looks nice on my kitchen counter top. It was straight forward to put together simple attach the hopper and insert the catcher and plug it in.OPERATING – There are two settings, one for the grind the other for the amount determined by number of cups. You put the beans in the hopper spin it to adjust your grind, select the number of cups on the side dial and push the large button the front and its working. The coffee pours into the catch and turns itself off once it has met the time allotted for the number of cups.GRIND – I have not used a microscope or compared it to 10 other machines grind results. Frankly I couldn’t point out the grind from this over another machine any day of the week. I can say it looks very uniform and the finest grind makes a fine powder that makes great espresso.Everything I read indicates that once you are going through all this amount of effort to make great fresh coffee/espresso, you should probably only grind what you are going to use and store what you are not in an air tight container.SINGE CONCERN – The only issue I have is that if the hopper gets empty before the timer runs out it spins at a super high rpm and sounds like it is going to damage the machine which it probably would if I were not there to turn it off. So while its nice to not have to hold my finger on the machine the entire time maybe have an auto shut off mechanism that senses when its empty. They probably have that on more expensive ones so its not really an issue just know you should not leave the room if you think there are more cups selected than beans in the hopper.CONCLUSION – I bought this one because it is the best value for a “conical burr” machine and it got great reviews. I can at least feel that my coffee grinds are as good as they can be and all my fancy coffee/espresso gadgets are not being degraded by the inferior grind. I am giving my beans and equipment every opportunity to make a great cup of jo!

Reliable, Consistent Performer
This unit was purchased in October of 2020. It continues to serve me well. The grind size indicators are hard to find/read, but once set, I don’t change mine at all, so it is rarely an issue. I do lament the static cling that occurs in varying degrees depending on the humidity. There are days that it is no issue at all. It grinds what I need in short order and once I have the timer dialed in for the amount of beans I use, it is set and forget. Like all other burr grinders, occasionally I have to remove the burr element and clean it out, but show me one that doesn’t. The frequency that this is required is dependent on how oily your beans are. Dark roasts generally have a greater oil coating than others, so if you’re a dark roast fan, you will be cleaning the burr cavity more often. I believe that it performs better than my previous Kitchen Aid unit, but not by leaps and bounds, but I know I have gotten my money’s worth out of it and it continues to provide good fresh ground coffee beans day in and day out.

Are we all reviewing the same grinder?
My experience is totally the opposite of some of these reviews. First, it is not quiet, it sounds something like the vacuum cleaner – but that doesn’t bother me for the time it takes to grind enough coffee for a cup.I’ve started grinding again recently as I’ve been buying my beans in bulk (cheaper). Pulled out my old Pavani, which I use for regular coffee, and bought this Espressione unit which I use for decaf. I only do one cup at a time.The grind is beautifully fine (and consistent) – and I could go finer if I wanted to, which would be several grinds finer than my Pavoni gives me. Whenever I finish grinding with the Pavani, there are grounds sticking to the top and sides of the gound coffee hamper; I open it up and get a certain amount of ground coffee around the counter area. When I grind with the Espressioni there is very little static, no coffee is stuck to the lid and very little to the sides and bottom. My counter stays completely clean, and I don’t waste any coffee.In contrast to another reviewer, my ground coffee container does have a max line, but I don’t get anywhere near it grinding one cup’s worth at a time.I plan on buying a second one for my regular coffee, it is such a pleasure to use!Added 25 Sept 11: I purchased a second grinder, this time from Amazon. There are differences from the first. The labels on the grind coarseness/fineness are different. The first one labels them clearly from fine to coarse, with several degrees you can choose in between. The second one labels only 1 to 15, and I had to hunt through the manual to find where it said which end was fine and which was coarse.As one reviewer complained above, there is indeed no marking for MAX on the cup. Not a big deal, as the max line is right where the little lip is at the top of the collection cup that its lid sits on.The cup for the second grinder is slightly less anti-static than my first one. So obviously there are differences from one to the next – I guess these can be “treated” non-uniformly.A reviewer complained that they had to keep giving the grinder a shake while grinding as it would stop pulling the beans into the grinder. Yes, I have experienced this with my first one – but not the second one. I give it a little shake or slap on the side. 😉 Works everytime. Again, not a big deal.All in all this grinder is still head and shoulders above any other coffee grinder I have ever owned.

First time owning a coffee grinder, and we selected this one after doing a bit of research. We didn’t have the budget to purchase anything over $150 and this model seemed to offer the best overall reviews.We have been using it now for several months and it is still operating just fine. We love everything about freshly ground coffee and find the grinder does a great job. We mainly grind for our Aeropress expresso maker, so using a very fine grind, but we have also ground coffee for our french press. The selection of grind is very good and very flexible.The unit is easy to keep clean and easy to refill the beans. Every once and a while when we go through the last beans I’ll clean out the unit (no water, just a brush and a cloth). So far, so good!

Overall, this is a good coffee grinder for the price.The plastic container is not that anti-static. I am sure everyone find their own ways to deal with this issue.I wonder why there are two slots on the platform where the grind container rests on. If there were any grinds dropping after you remove the grind container, you have two places to clean, i.e., the platform and your countertop.My brother recommended this grinder to me because he had this one for 10+ years. I hope my unit will last that long or longer.

Great little machine! We drink a lot of coffee and this machine keeps up with the volume of grinding we do. Perfect grind and the top holds just the right amount for each batch. Only criticism is that it gets very staticy around the container that holds the ground coffee so it gets very messy. We try to tap it when we pull it out but it still gets everywhere. I put a paper towel under the machine to catch all the excess grounds which helps.

It did work great but for only 8 months. It completely failed – dead electric motor. The company web site indicates that once a product they sell leaves the US, the warranty is null and void or something to that effect. Minimal response from the company with respect to getting guidance for a repair or replacement- I did get an email with a phone number to call but no company info linked to it. – no name, address etc.I can’t imagine packing this thing up and sending it across the border to get it fixed and then having it returned and dealing with the issues associated with that.It is just too bad because I liked the product and the way it worked but it just didn’t have a good enough build.Maybe I’m wrong, Maybe spending 50 cents a day at home to grind your own beans is reasonable. It is not though, what I expected.

I’ve had this for just over a week now and find it slightly less noisy (and a lot less piercing) than my old Krups flat burr grinder. About the same price as I paid for that, but is far more consistent in grinding and coffee tastes better now.I was surprised at the how small the grinds are, even when done at the coarsest setting, but I’d been used to flat-burr and blade grinders. This is nice.I’m going to try a french press and espresso soon, but overall, this is a good grinder for the $92 I paid for it.
