Some Briel Java grinders come with both a hopper and doser; others are sold with the hopper exclusively, or the doser exclusively. Shop around.

Bottom Line: Grinder is messy and does not produce finely ground coffee - very disappointing.
John Green (quality: 5.0) 02.21.2004 Rating: 1.0
Bottom Line: It disintegrated, and we threw it out. We bought a KitchenAide Proline - because it's mostly metal.

Bottom Line: It works; you'll wish it didn't

Bottom Line: Cheaply made, works ok for starters, doser is marginal
Tony (quality: 2.0) 07.16.2000 Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: It‘s ok. I‘m gonna put it on ebay and get a better one
Vincent Van den Ende (quality: 3.0) 07.11.2000 Rating: 4.4
Bottom Line: I bought it because I wanted to have complete control over the grinding. I stopped using it because the result were frustratingly unreliable.
Steve Smith (quality: 4.0) 07.02.2000 Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Recommended for those on a budget.
Steve Steiman (quality: 2.0) 01.25.2000 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: This is the best home grinder I've seen yet. Who can complain?
Kirby (quality: 6.0) 01.22.2000 Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: Average quality, but not suited for high end espresso
Antony Prince (quality: 6.0) 01.16.2000 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Formidable grinder, with a good range of grind settings, although somewhat of a noisy machine
