The only reason I gave this product four instead of five stars is that it’s a bit difficult to get a good grip on the grounds holder to remove it from the machine. Otherwise, it’s an excellent product for preparing fresh-ground coffee every morning. I’ve come home on several occasions to find the wonderful smell of coffee still hanging around the apartment. It’s also not very loud. I have two birds who freak out at practically every sudden noise, and this machine hardly disturbed them. It was quieter than my blender and is relatively easy to clean with a pastry brush, and some all-plastic parts (the hopper lid and the grounds holder) can be completely removed and washed.
most recent blog entriesI have had my Nesco Burr for about 2 weeks now and so far so good.
It will not make turkish but it may possibly do the job for espresso.
It would never pass the test for a connoisseur or Barista. If you are a beginner it may work out. I will let you know on this because I do plan to get an espresso machine soon probably a Starbucks Barista off eBay since thats the best quality for the money in my price range .
I bought this at the same time as a Mukka express Cappuccino maker which I returned (not a good product).
For now I am using it with a french press and it does the job well .
You do need some type of small long brush like you would use to baste your BBQ to clean out the old grounds so you do not have any stail coffee grounds in your next brew.
I am still playing around with it so I will come back and update soon.
My conclusion so far is it is a decent burr grinder for the money and people looking for a little more quality and uniform grind than you would get from a blade grinder but I would not expect the quality of a $100 burr from this.
