I have a Europicola pro and looking for a grinder, I have been offered a Simonelli Grinta for 200$ , does anybody have experience with this machine, or at least has an opinion? I am lookin at the pharos manual grinder as well....

Simonelli is a good company and they know their stuff, that grinder has a lot of plastic on it so that may or may not be an issue to you. I think that price is a bit high as you can buy one brand new for $330 US http://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/nuova-simonelli-grinta YMMV!
