A grinder made by Solis, rebranded by Starbucks. Good for drip, press pot, suitable for espresso.

Bottom Line: Works for drip grind, but the Barista won't meet the needs of most baristas.

Bottom Line: DUALIT (UK): CAN easily do AMAZING espresso WITHOUT MODIFICATION - bargain!

Bottom Line: I wish I would have gotten something with more features and a finer grind, but the coffee I make is great so it can't be all that bad, right?

Bottom Line: great grinder, but look up the Starbucks Barista Grinder Hack on Google, to get this grinder to grind fine enough for espresso machines
Bren Dollard (quality: 6.0) 07.13.2007 Rating: 8.4

Rick Wayne (quality: 6.3) 11.15.2006 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: This is a very good grinder, overpriced as most things are but comes with a comforting 2 year warranty so just buy and grind.
