Bottom Line: Excellent machine when it's not broken...
Joel Schulz (quality: 10.0) 12.02.2009 Rating: 2.8
Bottom Line: For espresso it is useless and Breville admits it. Too bad the product was not as good as Breville's customer service. They offered a refund if my retailer did not. MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR BODUM.

Bottom Line: Worked well for my Krups steam-powered, but isn't nearly fine enough for Miss Silvia... she's a demands more than it can produce.
Sherry Xu (quality: 6.0) 10.31.2009 Rating: 0.2
Bottom Line: DON'T BUY THIS ONE
Evan Patton 10.04.2009 Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: Good initial quality, but chronic clogging has me searching for a replacement after 18 months
Adie Williams 09.13.2009 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Worth the $89 on Amazon, this user friendly machine can grind espresso in it's finest settings and is definitely great for drip as well!
Max Snook (quality: 2.3) 05.14.2009 Rating: 3.4
Bottom Line: Does not live up to its billing.
Mike Ventura (quality: 3.3) 05.03.2009 Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: After modifying to get a finer grind it only gets an "okay" espresso grind, not great (~20 sec's).  For same $$, my modified Baratza Maestro was better.
Mike Filigenzi (quality: 6.5) 03.28.2009 Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: Solid unit - high quality and high value.
Eric Mattocks (quality: 7.3) 03.04.2009 Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: Best grinder under $300. !
Tyler Noble (quality: 7.5) 03.03.2009 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: After a simple no-brainer modification, this grinder is great for espresso!!
Eric Pellenbarg (quality: 7.0) 01.17.2009 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: If your budget isn't ready for a $300+ grinder, this is a very good choice.
