When I ordered this machine, it sounded like it would be perfect for us. However, I ended up returning it because it was expensive and did not fit our needs perfectly (at this price, it should as I could only justify the expense when "amortized" over its useful life).
The doser, to work as described, needs to have quite a bit of grounds within the dosing unit. This means that grounds hang around ... read more

I bought this with the Expobar Office for my wife almost three years ago for Xmas. Together we make 8-12 shots per day, so there really isn't any issue with grounds hanging out in the doser.
This thing is built like a Moto Guzzi and will last as long. I think of it as another kitchen appliance like my washer and stove- a 20 year investment. Totally worth the cash. ... read more

This is my first semi-pro grinder. It was important to have something to make the daily pot of coffee (drip grind, timer shut-off), without requiring another grinder for espresso.
So far, it is a vast improvement over past bur grinders with a much more consistent grind. It is also very quiet. The ability to control the grind is quite impressive, with nearly step-less flexibility, while mai ... read more
