David Durkee	03.17.2012	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: With a bit of tweaking, the grinder can give a very fine grind, for excellent shot results; as well as being able to do drip and french press.

Dee Ann Abel (quality: 5.5)	11.03.2000	Rating: 9.2

Don Scott (quality: 6.8)	09.11.2005	Rating: 4.6

Eward Sonneveld (quality: 5.4)	07.09.2002	Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: Excellent value for money (GBP 60 / USD 90). Tweaking requires patience and confidence, but after that it is superb.

Frank S (quality: 6.0)	12.29.2004	Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: Summary -- A good bargain that became a doorstop when I couldn’t grind my favorite dark roast.

George Wachsmuth (quality: 7.5)	03.22.2002	Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Great if you don't need it for espresso. Good second grinder.

Gianni Angel (quality: 4.5)	08.26.2000	Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: Should be MORE than adequate for any reasonable person.

Gone Gone	01.21.2008	Rating: 4.0
Bottom Line: Works for drip grind, but the Barista won't meet the needs of most baristas.

Java Man (Espressopithecus) (quality: 7.3)	07.10.2000	Rating: 8.8
