Jin Yong (quality: 6.0)	07.16.2000	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: It may be a noisy, messy grinder but still a good deal if you can get it at $95.

Java Man (Espressopithecus) (quality: 7.3)	07.10.2000	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: This machine, the Solis 166, may be a very cost-effective grinder for you if you know it will grind fine enough for your machine.

Stephen Moretti (quality: 2.5)	07.03.2001	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Attractive and high quality grinding, but beware of static.

Margaret (quality: 3.3)	01.24.2000	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: good purchase for serious (but not rabid) coffee lover

David Durkee	03.17.2012	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: With a bit of tweaking, the grinder can give a very fine grind, for excellent shot results; as well as being able to do drip and french press.

Steve Morrow (quality: 3.0)	07.31.2001	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Worth buying if you seriously like your coffee!

Mario (quality: 7.0)	12.13.2001	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Great grinder for all espresso machines

Reed Nelson (quality: 2.2)	11.08.2004	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Look... if you are just getting started in the home Barista routine, buy Barista products. Sure, there are better for much more $$$, but walk B4 you run!

Mark Kosky (quality: 8.0)	09.10.2000	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: A good quality machine, which produces excellent results, for a very reasonable price.

Darrell (quality: 6.0)	01.10.2001	Rating: 8.8

JohnA (quality: 4.5)	04.24.2001	Rating: 8.8

Make Mine a double (quality: 4.5)	02.24.2001	Rating: 8.8

Jon (quality: 2.5)	03.02.2001	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: If you don‘t want to splash the cash for a Rocky, the Solis 177 will do the job just fine.

Tom (quality: 3.0)	12.14.2000	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: agree that espresso grind isn‘t fine enough; but for my Saeco rio vapore, it‘s "fine"

Eward Sonneveld (quality: 5.4)	07.09.2002	Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: Excellent value for money (GBP 60 / USD 90). Tweaking requires patience and confidence, but after that it is superb.

Christophe Tyle	10.03.2010	Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: For seven bucks, a very decent machine easily worth twice the price ;-)

Loren B (quality: 5.7)	09.27.2007	Rating: 8.6

Bottom Line: Good grinder but needs adjustment

Paul (quality: 2.3)	11.12.2000	Rating: 8.4
