I've got this and it's been great so far.
Seems to create a lot of static though, and the grounds end up sticking on every surface in the hopper. Is that a feature of electric grinders or unique to this one?
And what grind size have people had the best experience with for a) AeroPress and b) espresso machines? I'm still new to this business and trying to learn by doing but a leg up is always helpful.

Static is just a result of spinny motor and plastic, just something you have to put up with on cheapy grinders. I even have to use an earth strap on my Mahlkonig shop mill in my kitchen.
Grind size for espresso is the one that produces a 25 second-ish shot when all other factors are consistent. For aeropress there are many ways to skin a cat. I use a finish drip filter grind with 18g of coffee, steeped for 90 secs. Keep all your variables consistent, then adjust grind until it tastes neither concentrated and heavy or weak and pissy.

There's definitely not £100 worth of difference beween those Isomac jobs and these Delonghi / krupps / melitta / whatever they're badged as today jobs. Decent for brewed coffee and fine enough for espresso.
