An entry level consumer burr grinder, not suitable for espresso. Made by Salton for Capresso. |

| Bottom Line: Honestly, I'd rather have a whirly-blade grinder. It's at least as good, and less than half the price. |

| Bottom Line: For $50 it's fine for med to coarse grinds on a budget. For $5 it's a gift from a god. |

| Bottom Line: If you only make drip coffee with paper filters this unit will work for you. Just keep a paper plate under it for the mess. |
