  Not worth it... On the last step it comes out very roughly cut... Better buy ground coffee or give something more and get something better. Wasted money.. I picked it up and have it stored in the closet, luckily it doesn't take up much space haha!!

  This is the first grinder I have purchased as I am involved in preparing Espresso from beans for a little over a month now.

  As I have stated in the predefined questions, it is a decent purchase in terms of price, build quality, grinding speed, and space requirement, I would say, as it is not mentioned in the predefined questions.

  As for the disadvantages, I would mention the noise and the difficulty of grinding all the beans on the first attempt. The cleaning is what it is, I cannot know if it is at a good level or not. I will have an idea when I have a point of comparison.

  In the end, I conclude that this particular grinder does not match the Gaggia Classic that I have acquired. Its finest adjustment is not fine enough to match the pressurized baskets and the 15-bar pressure of the machine. So, either I reduce the pressure on the machine or I purchase a better grinder (with finer grinding), which is "necessary" anyway but not necessarily right away, so to speak.

  My final position according to my way of thinking is that it is a good purchase which, under certain conditions, can achieve the desired result if some additional parameters are met. Otherwise, it is an easy decision to leave it aside when you want something more, regardless of the difficulty of the decision to replace it!!

  P.S. I plan to experiment more, maybe I can make it give me better results. If I manage to do something, I will come back.

  The mill is used for grinding espresso with good results thanks to the ceramic conical and the adjustment of bean fineness. The plastic is of mediocre quality. Be careful with the start button, as it is a sensitive spot. The dealership was unacceptable and did not cover me for the repair within the warranty, which is why I give it two stars. The cost of the replacement button at an independent repair shop was also unacceptable, to the point where it was not worth repairing.

  I have had this specific grinder for 4 years. I give it a rating of 10 because it surpasses the Krups grinder. It is the best value for money. It has grinding stones, unlike other cheap grinders that burn the coffee. I would buy it again with my eyes closed.

  I had high hopes for this grinder as I heard the best reviews in its category. I acquired it, replacing a similar one from Delonghi. It does not perform well for grinding espresso and Greek coffee. For filter coffee, it is okay at the last level, but it is relatively expensive for what it offers. After many trials with automatic home grinders, I ended up with the cheaper ones that, the more you grind with a little stirring of the grinder, give you a satisfactory result to make a decent espresso. Automatic grinders, in my opinion, are a mediocre solution for those who grind large quantities of coffee as they save time.

  To start getting into the mindset of the espresso production process, this is a must-have product.

  Very good coffee grinder. It is not a mill, it does not have mill blades, so do not expect mill results. For its price, it is fine. Also very easy to use and good build quality. If you do not want to spend 100+ for a regular mill, it is a good choice.

  I bought it to grind coffee for my Gaggia New Classic espresso machine. The best thing you can give for a simple good home grinder to do your job properly. Very good fine grind - fluffiness of the coffee and a proper good tamp, you have coffee as if you were drinking it outside and even better if you have dealt with the basics of being a barista (the basic extras I have bought and it works as it should are a precision scale, a dosing funnel or something to measure your ml and a TIMER. For more enthusiasts, a separate tamper.

  UPDATE 17/01/23
  Guys, the grinder seems to have broken in the tightening of the upper blade (lock) after cleaning, as if the adjustment is stuck now... spend 350-400€ for conical blades and something more professional to have peace of mind!

  Excellent Mill for its price. It cuts very good espresso on the finest scale.
  The fact that the container is small is not a problem for espresso since you usually need small quantities for fresh coffee. Of course, you can choose a quantity for several cups, which is more than enough for home use.
  I think it is the best for home

  I have been COMPLETELY satisfied with the product. The quality of the coffee I drink has skyrocketed, even though my coffee machine is nothing special. I am in the phase of experimenting with various varieties and blends of coffee. Some only require a single pass. For others, I tried passing it twice. It grinds it so fine that it doesn't go through the portafilter. The only downside is that it gets quite messy, but personally, it doesn't bother me. I grind once a day for 2-3 coffees and everything is okay.

  It's worth every last euro you spend.
  It has multiple grind settings, is compact in size, and doesn't take up much space on the countertop. You can adjust how much coffee it grinds for you, and it stops on its own. I highly recommend it.

  Owner of this grinding mill since November 2019. It is used for grinding espresso beans. With the setting on the finest, it grinds them to a fine powder. It doesn't leave any residue of dust in the cup. Completely satisfied.

  I use it with the delonghi dedica with the pressurized portafilter. With a grind setting of 8 or 9 out of 17, in the middle, it produces coffee similar to pre-ground coffee from the supermarket. The grind is quite consistent.
  Below the middle setting, it starts to clog the dedica. I believe it has plenty of room for adjustment to prepare coffee for a machine with a non-pressurized portafilter, but I haven't tried it yet.
  It has an issue with static electricity (coffee sticking to the container), but it can be solved by slightly wetting the beans.
  In terms of construction, it's so-so, all plastic on the outside. The grinder inside seems decent though. It's not meant for grinding 1 kilogram a day, but for home use, it's fine. The on/off button seems a bit fragile...
  Overall, I am very satisfied, the grinder is worth it! It fills the whole house with the smell of coffee in the morning! No comparison to pre-ground coffee from the supermarket!

  Many cutting degrees, easy to use, very good result in the cut coffee. It needs tests to find the appropriate setting for each coffee machine.

  Mainly for household use, it is a very good machine!
  It has 3 switches. The first one is the power switch, the second one is for the quantity of cups we want to grind (maximum up to 12), and the third one, which is on the side, is for adjusting the thickness of the grind (fine or coarse).
  So far, I have been using it for grinding espresso.
  It has a relatively comfortable space for household use.
  The top "blade" can be removed and cleaned, while the inner part of the bottom remains inside, but we can clean it with the brush it has inside.
  Greek instructions are not included, but with a little trial, we quickly understand how it works.
  It has a safety system. It does not start unless both lids are placed on the top and bottom container.
  CAUTION!
  Check the bottom grind container frequently when filling the top container with coffee beans because if it gets full and you don't notice it, the machine will struggle and may be damaged.

  EDIT:
  In the end, it cannot grind espresso beans finer than the loose frappe grind, and this is after 2 times with the same quantity.
  For espresso, I would prefer it to be as powdery as possible, which it does not achieve...
  Also, at some point, because it cannot be cleaned internally, it needs to be opened as it can block even the side adjustment switch.
