At the price point, this is a wonderful grinder. It is consistent, quiet and produces fluffy grounds. Stylish, compact design, solid build and quiet. Highly recommend this grinder if you are looking for a new espresso grinder. We use it solely for espresso so I cannot comment on any other use. The only negatives is the fork feels cheap and edgy and the hopper feels like cheap lightweight plastic. It also makes a bit of a mess spraying coffee on the counter. I use a dosing funnel which captures all the grounds. It barely fits but it works and holds the portafilter in place hands fee- win win.
