Bottom Line: A good starting grinder when budget is an issue and a great travel companion, but overrated as a 'grinder' alone. Mazzer mini is 'five steps' up.

Bottom Line: It is simple and rugged. It produces a good grind for espresso, but does not produce an even coarse grind.

Bottom Line: High-quality; cheaper than many electrics, will outlast any electric. Don‘t overlook just because it‘s a manual! The "work" involved is overstated.
