Bottom Line: After 3 years, I'm giving up on the Mulino -- tempted to try to Maestro Plus, but sceptical of the same 'chute' design.

Bottom Line: Mulino does what its meant to do wonderfully, but now the Maestro does it better. Unless you find a Mulino at a deep discount, go with the newer Maestro.

Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: Decent grinder, too many grinds remain in chute, thus every subsequent shot contains stale grinds. Overall a good unit though.
