Coffee Appreciation

Any recommendations?

Not exactly a recommendation, more an "approval". I have been using this without any problem (or any real amazement) for about 6 months now. i've used it to grind a pound or more of coffee a month for espresso only (it's finest setting).

key characteristics to be aware of:

1. fully adjustable grind from espresso dust to french press grit
   
2. it has a variable timed shut off. Rather conveniently, the shortest duration on the finest grind produces a perfect amount for one double espresso; you aren't guessing and aren't wasting any. I just dump small amount of beans in every few days a have a go. no thought, no measuring.
   
3. for such a messy endeavor, it's pretty damn clean. The removable canister is easily carried to the sink for cleanly transfer to espresso tray. Any spillage is simply washed down the sink.
   
   

Obviously there are nicer ones, but this definitely functions at a level well enough for anyone who cares about having a burr grinder.
