Consistency    Ease of use   Seems like it should last for years

Negative Product Points

The only thing I can even remotely complain about is price.

Detailed Commentary

Over the years I have several  burr grinders that were ok but something always broke in a year or so. I was a little hesitant  about spending $300. + for a grinder, but I know how important a good grinder is for good espresso. When I first got this unit I was impressed by the weight of it , even now when I go to move it I think its stuck.
I tried several grinds and checked each with a high power jewelers loop for consistency and I was impressed how close each ground was at close detail. I have a 25 year old Coffex and I can make as good as a espresso as anywhere I been and Im real picky.(sadly most people can't make a descent espresso with $10,000 Machine. I bought the doser  model because I use it mostly for espresso and Im glad I did. I figured if I didn't like it I could take it off. Its a high quality motor and burr set. You could spend more money if you want but I don't think  you would get a better grinder.I am very happy with this unit and am glad I got it.

Buying Experience

I don' t remember the vender name other than it was in Washington  and the service was fine.
