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

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...

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

Louie Woodhams (quality: 7.0)	03.15.2008	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Nice grinder, but not enough range for espresso.

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.

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.

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.

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

Max Snook (quality: 2.3)	05.14.2009	Rating: 3.4
Bottom Line: Does not live up to its billing.

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.

Sherry Xu (quality: 6.0)	10.31.2009	Rating: 0.2
Bottom Line: DON'T BUY THIS ONE
