An entry level burr grinder, this one is suitable for drip coffee only. It produces too much dust for press pot, and not an even enough grind for true espresso.

Bottom Line: This is a great grinder for under $50. I don't drink espresso, only coffee, so I don't know how it is with espresso.

Bottom Line: If you can afford it, get a better grinder. If you can't afford it, get a Zassenhaus. This one's a freakin' monster.
