I’m sure it’ll last, and to its credit I’m comparing it to much heavier machinery/power tools.
Also, I have no idea how long the broken ones have lasted - and as danb said, his lasted a decade! And I’m pretty confident loads of department store bought grinders won’t last anywhere near that or be serviceable at all.
I think my post was mainly about convincing myself to spend more than I can afford.
Nef-
That’s a bit more reassuring (thanks @danb !).
Yes, for being half the price of similarly effective grinders, I guess you have to compromise on something. And I’ve no idea whether ~£200 grinders are any easier to repair in any case.

Ah, that’s a shame. Maybe I should’ve been more skeptical of the glowing review on Happy Donkey, given that they sell the things (!).
I’ve been impressed by the grind quality (and free beans) so far though, fingers crossed that it lasts a little while.
