This is a workhorse, and makes great expresso and ground coffee!
This is our third, a new replacement. I've read the reviews and most people who review don't seem to use their grinder like we do? Many folks grind for each cup or pot? We just grind 8-10 cups worth at a time and normally use about a double expresso for each cup we fix. We never try to clean it up after every use! OMG! It's just coffee... We DO love the fresh grind taste, even if the beans may not be the freshest.
This is a nice grinder. I buy the inexpensive add-on insurance. The first grinder we had, I just burned out the motor in one sitting by grinding about 1/2 pound of beans in one sitting. Since then, I'm much more careful, but the add-on policy is safety against fear of wrecking it. And this price is WAY cheaper than an full-on heavy duty burr grinder.
I use the grinder, but I'm not married to it. Dependable, fast coffee and it let's us brew expresso/Americano every morning.
