What customers say about "Features"
Mazzer Mini Espresso Grinder
  • The noise is not too much to annoy others early in the morning, but it's not super quiet.
  • The Mazzer is built like a tank and if you get one I hope you have a sturdy counter to put it on because it is not a lite-weight.
  • I loved this machine. It’s beautiful, it’s fast, it grinds perfectly for espresso.
  • It is a great, precision espresso grinder. It can grind somewhat coarse.
  • Grinder works great when it works. Motor stopped running after 7 months.
Baratza Vario Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder
  • It has programmable timing pre-sets which I imagine could be helpful.
  • Excellent, solid built-quality. Not messy at all as compared to other grinders.
  • It seems very reliable and consistent, easy to use, small, nice metal porta-filter holder.
  • This is a fantastic grinder. This grinder is fast, smooth and quiet. The timer function is convenient for dosing. The grind settings are easy to adjust and repeatable.
  • Easy to use and clean. It grinds consistently. Very good value for money.
