A professional, yet small grinder featuring a stepless grind mechanism, and a unique "memory" for your grind fineness setting if you remove the burrs for cleaning or replacement.

Bottom Line: Great grinder for the first three years. Now I want to replace it.

Bottom Line: If you want power and perfection you will love this grinder.
David Stensby (quality: 7.7) 01.10.2002 Rating: 9.4
Bottom Line: Flawless performance so far. Durable, easy to clean, attractive and small enough for home use under kitchen cabinets.

Bottom Line: Too "cheesy" and "cheap" for regular, daily use, though as an occasional second grinder (decaf; backup), it could work fine.
Jesse Imbach (quality: 7.3) 03.25.2006 Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: If you lust for a Mazzer, but only have $300+/- to spend, this is the best choice you can make.
John Holder (quality: 8.2) 03.17.2004 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Great grinder. Priced in the sweet spot between Rocky and Mazzer Mini, this is the best grinder to get if the Mazzer seems too pricey, but you want the infinite grind adjustment feature.

Bottom Line: Beautiful piece of utilitarian art in your kitchen delivering espresso-perfect grind - although not useful for drip or french press.
Peter V (quality: 7.8) 07.08.2001 Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: An excellent grinder.
Robert Shupp (quality: 8.4) 07.03.2002 Rating: 8.6

Steve Brightman (quality: 6.5) 06.07.2002 Rating: 9.6
Bottom Line: best profesional home grinder available
Tom Be (quality: 7.3) 11.07.2003 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Beautiful form, beautiful grind, beautiful shots. My $450 Silvia purchase is finally translating into great espresso.
