Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent very consistent fine grind without heating the coffee grind. Also very easy to clean as the mill pops out for cleaning and comes with a small bristle brush. It was recommended by our local coffee roastery. I went on his recommendation after being disappointed with another cheaper model. We make Aeropress and drip coffee and it makes coffee smooth as silk. [...]

 
Not Worth the Money
By Coffeeless Sue from Folsom, CA on 1/7/2008

Easy to use

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

For an appliance that has a price tag of over [$], it didn't last very long. After about a year of use and with no warming, the thing just up and died. Not worth the money.
