GOOD grinder!
Review by George on 29 Jun 2015 review stating GOOD grinder! Okay, granted, my experience with grinders has not included Mazzer, Ceado, Baratza, etc., and as far as quality of grind, none of the grinders I've ever had have measured up to the level my Expobar Office Lever needed to enter espresso heaven. I was approaching it with a hand grinder...but the last bit of adjustment needed was beyond the ability of the hand grinder to reach.
Well, this grinder has easily reached it. In fact, it has gone beyond any previous expectation on my part, and has given me a cup of bliss. There is so much range of adjustment on this grinder! Each adjusting notch makes such a fine adjustment, that I can dial in just the right amount of fineness to extract exceptional flavors that I've never tasted before! I had read that some folks found this grinder loud...it's very quiet compared to every other grinder I've ever used. I love it!
And the thing is built like a tank! It was packed pretty well at the factory, then WLL packed their box inside another well-packed box, so that it arrived in perfect shape. The way this thing is built, I'm sure it'll be the last grinder I'll need.

What do you like best about this product?
What's best about this product? I would have to say the build quality. Again, this thing is built like a tank. Quality construction. Well-engineered. Elegant.
Do you have any helpful tips for using this product?
First tip is to make sure the burrs are not touching before you turn it on for the first time. With the grinder still empty and turned off, turn the adjustment towards the fine side, until the slightest resistance is felt. Then turn the adjustment 1/4 turn back towards the coarse setting. My final adjustment was about 4 or 5 clicks finer after this 1/4 turn. Very easy to dial in.
I will probably be getting an external timing circuit to operate the grinder with. Should be easy to set up.
