The Silenzio is a beautifully designed machine. It has a small footprint, and in the black color, it has a sleek and clean look. The sound dampening works well, and though it is not quiet, it is not loud (which for a coffee grinder, is pretty good). It produces relatively fluffy grounds, but it is not super easy to get a good distribution directly from the machine. A dosing cup or WDT tool would help. Also, while it produced great grounds, it is not the easiest to dial-in with the very small grind-size wheel. I recommend it, as it is value for the price, but there are a few additional steps needed. P.S. It is not the best for single dosing, but the retention is not horrible...maybe 2g or so.
