  I have used it twice, so I will come back again soon, adding and refining the text.
  The first impressions are not very good.
  In the medium setting, it doesn't seem to grind the coffee evenly.
  The second time I used it, I noticed that not all the coffee was ground, but there were clumps inside that I had to remove by turning it upside down to put them back in for grinding.
  It also seems to require quite a long cleaning time, 10-15 minutes, without being able to clean as well as I would like, as the interior where the grinding takes place is not easily cleaned, nor completely. Even the rotating part does not clean completely. It also collects some coffee at the point of exit towards the accumulation bin.
  I will definitely come back with more information as I will use it every 2-3 months exclusively for 90 grams for cold brew, as for smaller daily quantities I have another grinder.

  Great grinder, quality construction, easy to use!! I didn't use it at all because I bought it for nuts and it's not convenient because it has a grinder and not blades.

  Very good grinder, and at least for me, I didn't even need to open it to make the coffee finer as they say in some other posts. It has satisfied me from the beginning I used it and it has never clogged so far, even though I always work it on the finest setting. However, I do not recommend it for Greek coffee.

  I have it for about 2 weeks.. Good build quality and very fast grinding.. However, the grind is not fine enough for espresso.. It is drinkable but not ideal.. The final result has a slight inconsistency. You encounter some few pieces of coarse coffee.. Also, coffee spills from the collection bin at the point where it touches the grinding output. My coffee machine is the Delonghi EC685 and the coffee I use is Lavazza Rossa. Final result with stock pressurized, at medium extraction temperature, using the double shot holder and enough pressure with a tamper from 10gr of coffee to 60ml of espresso in under 25 sec (around 20 sec). Medium crema and medium intensity coffee.

  After more time using it, I concluded that if the coffee is passed through a second time, the result for espresso is much better. I also reduced the amount of water to about 45ml in the double shot of coffee (max 10gr) and I have a better crema.

  It is obvious that the coffee is not ground as finely as it needs to be. I agree with the users who mention "tampering" in order to further reduce the gap. However, it is a very strong and sturdy machine that is worth its money

  Let's start with the basics. There is no coffee grinder at such a price that can grind espresso as finely as we expect. Even in machines that cost 50-80 euros, at the finest setting, the water passes through too quickly and the result is bad.

  Personally, I was disappointed because I could grind better with the Bosch grinder that cost 15 euros. I was ready to hide it and never see it again until I saw the trick that people do with a similar one from Delonghi and it grinds better.

  Although the process was slightly different, the idea was the same, so with a little effort and removing 2-3 extra screws, I adjusted it and now it grinds even to a point where the water doesn't pass through my machine.

  Conclusion: whoever wants it for espresso and is willing to tinker with the screws, should get it and adjust it to grind the coffee properly. After all, it doesn't matter which one you get at such a price. On the other hand, if you're considering it, get the Bosch one and time the espresso to the desired length.

  It is perfect... I am very satisfied that I chose this model, even though I only need the finely ground espresso. However, I can always choose something else, maybe for French if I ever need it. It is worth the money I paid and more.

  Flawless espresso grinder. It has 17 cutting levels and I grind it on the second to last (fine) and my coffee has upgraded 100%. It has a container for the ground coffee with a capacity of 12 doses. In terms of construction quality, it is sturdy without making any noise or sounding loose. Flawless as a jewel in appearance. As for the warranty, it is for two years, which is positive!! I am very satisfied.
