Bottom Line: Face it, this is an old grinder. There are far better ones available now-a-days, but if you like to tinker and can find one at a garage sale or thrift store, hey, why not try to get it to work? It IS possible. Diamonds come from coal...

Bottom Line: A decent grinder that packs a big mess. For a few dollars more, get a Maestro!

Bottom Line: If you're into static and cleaning coffee from places you never knew existed, the MC2002 is for you!

Bottom Line: Very Flavorful results, performs well through the entire grind range with lighter roasts. Will choke at finest setting on oily beans.
