The grinder is attractive.  It is only 12 1/2" high and 4 1/4" wide, which is a nice size for a kithcen.  The doser works well.  The grind is very even, and can be ajdusted to a fine powder.

The grinder has not held up that well over time.  It would be better if it was a little quieter, and if it would grind a little faster.

I use the grinder strictly for home use.  I grind one pot of coffee each morning, rarely more and never less (unless I am on vacation).

At first, I was fairly pleased with the grinder.  I had used much less expensive grinders that were noisy, and took a long time to grind enough coffee to make a pot.  My main goals for a grinder were to buy a grinder that (i) is attractive, (ii) quiet, (iii) fast, (iv) could make a fine, even grind, and (v) could grind enough to brew a pot with ease.

When I purchased the grinder, I was fairly pleased with it.  It is much more heavy duty than a $50 grinder.  The cord has a lower gauge wire, and the unit is heavier and solidly built.  The coffee is ground very evenly, and the grinder works faster than an inexpensive unit (although I wish it were faster still).

Overtime, however, the grinder has not held up as well as I hoped.

When I purchased the grinder, the hopper was cracked.  The vendor replaced it with a hopper that was dropped shipped by a US distirbutor.  The new hopper did not have a large enough hole drilled at the bottom.  When I installed it, the bottem of the hopper cracked a little.  I did not return it.  Over time, it has become very loose.  

There is an automatic shut off feature so the motor does not overheat.  After I used the grinder for about 3 years, the motor now shuts off once or twice before I can grind enough coffee to brew one pot.  

I was hoping that I would be satisfied with the grinder for many, many years.  However, I am now thinking of replacing it.  That is why I found this website that reviews coffee grinders.

Attractive solidly built grinder, but has not held up that well over the years.
