Christopher Covolo (quality: 6.0)	01.26.2013	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Simple, small grinder for people that are buying their own beans - but loud.

Adam Trimble	01.09.2013	Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: Good grinder, unless you are looking for an artistic piece of kitchenware.

Davin Gegolick (quality: 7.0)	06.07.2012	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Best burr grinder for the price!

Michel Roberge	06.01.2012	Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: For the price, it's a good bet, as long as you're not looking for an espresso grinder.

Ash Furrow (quality: 7.0)	08.30.2010	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Not recommended for espresso. Good starter grinder after I modified it, but wore out quickly. Get a better starter grinder if you can at all afford it.

Mick Paulin (quality: 8.0)	01.11.2010	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Excellent machine when it's not broken...

Joel Schulz (quality: 7.0)	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.

Scot Murray (quality: 6.0)	11.01.2009	Rating: 7.0
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.

Michael 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.

Andrew B (quality: 7.3)	10.19.2008	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Buy it if you're looking for a reasonably priced burr grinder for everything BUT espresso

Don Ferron (quality: 6.0)	10.14.2008	Rating: 9.8
Bottom Line: Looks good, grinds right, a great value at retail.

Johann Ramirez (quality: 6.7)	10.09.2008	Rating: 8.8
