Pros

There really is quite a range in coarseness in what different makers sell as drip. This grinder has quite a large range that works by just twisting the adjustment ring.

Works great, super consitent with both oily and dry beans. It's easy, only takes a moment, and gives a much fuller flavor. The coffee is delicious.

Portafilter attachment is snuggly and easy to use.
