QUIET IN COMPARSION TO THE ROCK AND SOLIS GRINDERS I OWNED. INCREDIBLE RANGE OF GRIND LEVELS SUPERIOR GRINDS AND CONSISTENCY COMES WITH SHORT HOPPER FITS IN MY SMALL KITCHEN AT 19-1/4"HIGH. LOOKS GREAT A REAL EYE POPPER VERY FAST GRINDING PROBABLY 3x FASTER THEN MY ROCKY WAS GOOD RESALE VALUE
Negative Product Points
DOSER LEAVES GRINDS. EASY FIX. SEE LINK FROM OTHER REVIEW. GRINDS TENDS TO COME OUT ON ONE SIDE WHEN DOSING INTO PORTAFILTER. A SIMPLE RE-ADJUSTMENT OF THE PORTAFILTER MORE TO THE LEFT AND IT CATCHES IT PROPERLY. OVERKILL FOR HOME UNLESS YOUR AN ENTHUSIAST LIKE ME.
Detailed Commentary
I WILL NEVER UPGRADE AGAIN. I NEVER KNEW IT WOULD BE SUCH A VASTE DIFFERENCE IN MY SHOT MAKING VS THE ROCKY AND SOLIS I HAD. HAD A MANUAL PEUGEOT FRERES AND IT DOESN'T COME CLOSE TO THIS. MY SHOT MAKING NOW HAS TO BE BANG ON. I HAVE TO PAY MUCH CLOSER ATTENTION TO HUMIDITY IN THE KITCHEN AS WELL AS THE TYPE OF BEAN I'M USING AND HOW IT REACTS TO GRIND LEVELS. I'M CONSTANTLY ADJUSTING. I FIND MYSELF TOSSING A SHOT SOMETIMES AND REDOING. NORMALLY I WOULD HATE THINKING I'M WASTING BEANS BUT THE OUTCOME IS JUST AWESOME!
Buying Experience
SO FAR AWESOME.
Three Month Followup
Made a strange engine type noise near end of a grind for a shot today. That's it. Performed flawless otherwise. All shots extracting amazingly.
