With a little "fine tuning" per Barratza instruction - this machine will provide a very fine expresso grind. Also great for drip and French press.
Positive Product Points
Clean lines, plenty of grind adjustments and simple operation. Outstanding customer service!
Negative Product Points
Was necessary to "fine tune" the fine/espresso grind calibration to get a fine enough grind for my Gaggia machine.
Detailed Commentary
Works outstanding for French Press, Drip and Espresso. The only caveat is that you may need to "fine tune" the calibration to get a fine enough espresso grind. The "fine tuning" instructions are available on the Barratza website. Barratza customer service has been outstanding for me. When I had an issue with grounds container they shipped me a newly designed anti-static one for free along with a new anti-static grinds shoot. Likewise, when I lost a little part from having the machine open, they shipped me one no questions asked. Their website also lists burrs, hoppers, etc that one can purchase for maintenance.
