Ivan Spencer (quality: 7.7)	05.23.2009	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: For 179, I'd say its a deal. Plan on returning unit for lower burr replacement someday. Grind quality is pretty consistent.

Michael Ventura (quality: 6.8)	03.30.2009	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: With a little "fine tuning" per Barratza instruction - this machine will provide a very fine expresso grind. Also great for drip and French press.

Alan Webster (quality: 6.7)	03.01.2009	Rating: 9.6
Bottom Line: Takes the grind out of buying a grinder

Don Rutherford (quality: 8.0)	02.07.2009	Rating: 9.4
Bottom Line: I CANNOT SPEAK TO ESPRESSO, BUT FOR MY MOKA-DRIP-PRESS NEEDS, THIS MACHINE EXCELS!

Patrick King (quality: 6.5)	11.18.2008	Rating: 8.8

J M (quality: 6.0)	10.27.2008	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Work to unlock the potential, be patient, the price is right for entry level

Peter Forlano (quality: 4.4)	09.13.2008	Rating: 3.8
Bottom Line: This machine and it's company need to do a lot more wood shedding to live up to the name.

Mattias M (quality: 7.3)	05.14.2008	Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: Don't buy this grinder for a Silvia . . . I regretted not paying $100 more for a Rocky.

Aubrei Merrill (quality: 9.0)	05.13.2008	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Your friendly neighborhood French Press grinder solution.

Jesse Nice (quality: 8.3)	04.26.2008	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Good grinder with a wide range and little retention, but not fine enough control for consistent espresso.

Tony Szpara (quality: 1.1)	04.01.2008	Rating: 5.0
Bottom Line: Find something more durable.

Howard Pierson (quality: 7.0)	03.08.2008	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: This is a great grinder for its niche, one can get better, but you will have to pay more, and be seriously addicted to Barista quality espresso.
