Review
3 years of use, this thing is rock solid. The adjustment mechanisms are effective and easy to use. The grind dose is controlled by internal timers easily adjusted with a small screwdriver on the front of the machine. The grind shoots directly through the dispenser into your filter basket with no place for grinds to collect and stale. The grind is initiated by pushing the button on the front of the machine at the filter basket support bracket. I find it most convenient to just hold the basket there without the portafilter handle, collect the grind, then, move to a flat surface where it's easy to tamp, and then insert into the handle assembly. The micro adjustments for fine/coarse grinds make it easy to get very tweaky with your different coffee beans. Built like a brick outhouse, what more could you ask for. Worth every dollar spent.
