A grinder made by Solis, rebranded by Starbucks. Good for drip, press pot, suitable for espresso. |

| Bottom Line: If Starbucks has this on sale for $90 or less, and the often do, it is the best grinder for the price. |

| Bottom Line: If you do drip or have a Starbucks espresso machine -- works fine, but it is a "lightweight" compared to other brands for little more $$. |

| Bottom Line: This is a very good grinder, overpriced as most things are but comes with a comforting 2 year warranty so just buy and grind. |
