A prosumer level espresso grinder that has been on the market since 1991. Grinder has seen changes cosmetically since introduction, now featuring steel side panels. Features professional burrs and motor inside. At $380 (Feb '09) the price is on the high side.

Bottom Line: Unless you handle high volume grinding, get the doserless. It's much easier to use and produces great results.
