My husband and I have owned this grinder for over a year now and we both love it! He used to have a Gaggia grinder but this machine is definitely superior in our opinion.
Pros
- Auto shut off so you can simply push the button and walk away while the it grinds
- Holds about 250 gms of coffee beans
- You can select how fine the grind is and we get a perfect grind every time
Cons
- It's a bit noisy but I have yet to find a quiet grinder
All in all, a great product that is highly recommended!

I've been using this mill every morning for the past 3 months with a few different beans, although no elephants yet, and am very very pleased with it.
To echo what others have said, and add my two pence worth.....
I find it makes perfect (paper) filter grind on the fifth notch from finest. Looks like a very even grind, with no residue in the jug or the cup. Set the cup selector (8 to make 4 mugs of coffee, 4 to make 2 mugs), press the button, fill up the coffee machine with water while you wait, then pour the entire freshly ground contents into the filter. Couldn't be easier.
I shut the kitchen door when grinding so I don't wake my wife two rooms away. It's certainly not quiet, but it's grinding coffee so what do you expect? It's no louder than 'professional' grinders. My cats aren't bothered by the noise, so it can't be that loud. They run a mile when I vacuum the flat!
The problems with static were a bit annoying at first. I appreciated the tip in another review of using the back of a spoon to discharge it, but found it's easier to just wipe your hand around the outside of the container. I've never had a shock. You can always touch the metal chassis of the grinder while you do it and this will discharge you. Static seems to have lessened considerably over time (Perspex is highly statically charged when it's manufactured, but once you have worked with it for a while, the static wears off) and this morning when I ran my hand over it there was just a tiny bit of charge at the base of the rear of the container. In any case, give it a couple of heavy taps (with your thumb over the hole!) before you remove the lid, as your worktop can soon get messy if there's charge, as grinds go flying everywhere. (Just to be clear, this doesn't happen if I'm careful!)
Cleaning is a breeze with the supplied brush. You could easily use a cotton bud if the brush ever went missing. I've not had to dismantle it yet for any reason.....
After a bit of trial and error, suitable cafétière grind appears to be bang on medium. (You can tell if it's too fine as the coffee tastes powdery.) The grind is very even, with a surprisingly minimal amount of residue in the cup when ground. I have no idea what coarse is supposed to be for, as I've never felt the need to push it that far!
(I don't make espresso, so I make no claim in favour or otherwise for its espresso grinding capabilities.)
I really don't like giving products 5 stars, but I can't think of anything that would make it better! One of the best £55 I've ever spent!

Do not buy this machine if you wish to make espresso, it will not grind the bean fine enough. I have used one for 2 weeks at the finest setting for use ina gaggia classic, I am a trained gaggia barista and cannot get a good crema with this grinder. It is fine for cafetierre and filter but not espresso.
