Should be used as a dedicated espresso grinder only, not ideal if you want to change to drip or french press grind.
Detailed Commentary
A stepless grinder that produces consistent grind. compact (much easier on the counter than mazzer) and just as good as grinder nearly 3 times the price. I have used a mazzer mini with doser for years. This is compact, looks good, and produces a grind that as just as good and doserless so that no coffee is wasted. All of this under $300. I am very happy both with the quality of the coffee ground and the grinder itself. It is not any louder than any grinder I have used (just slighty different pitch).
