Pros & Cons
Pros
Small and compact, looks good on my kitchen counter. Noisy but not unbearable, it's barely a month old so let's hope it stays this way!
The only downside is that some of the */sliders feel a tad flimsy.
Cons
Some of the coffee is very very fine powder the rest is much coarser and the difference is easily visible. The grinder itself is easy to use but it's incredibly messy to operate. In fact it is very coarse, even in the lowest setting.
The grind produced by this machine is far too course for making espresso. The finest it will grind is nowhere near as fine as you need for espresso. This machine is simply not fit for the purpose of use in an espresso machine which seems a great shame... Read More
Disappointing and faulty. Just thrown it away. Also, the design is ridiculous.
