  Amazing product for many reasons. My own: 1) The portafilter attaches directly to the grinder and the coffee falls into it without spilling out. 2) The timer ensures a consistent final result every time. 3) Very good and well-made construction

  I used to grind my espresso with a 50€ machine and now I understand why a good grinder is worth it!

  First of all, I have had this grinder in my possession for about 4 months.
  Before I proceed with the purchase of this grinder, I was using the https://www.skroutz.gr/s/15885168/Bosch-TSM6A013B-Ilektrikos-Mylos-Kafe-180W-me-CHoritikotita-75gr-Mayros.html, which is for typical use and to avoid buying pre-ground coffee or having it ground in the stores where you will buy it.
  I should add that I had seen various models in the price range of 200€-300€ before settling on this one, by watching reviews and reading several comments.

  Firstly, as a device, it is sturdy for its size and nice in its appearance.
  It has options for adjusting the grind (60 levels), from coarser for filter to finer for espresso. It also has the option with 10 additional levels for adjusting the blades inside the grinder easily. So, you have even more levels to adjust the grind according to your preferences.

  Furthermore, you can also adjust the time to get the same amount of coffee if you have a consistent grind level, but also the ability to choose how many cups you want to make, so it adjusts the grinding time accordingly to produce more servings of coffee.

  It also has a container for storing coffee (ground or whole beans) and bases where you can place your portafilter and with a push forward, press a button and it automatically starts grinding coffee inside it. It has two different bases for 50mm-54mm or 58mm portafilters.

  Additionally, it doesn't make a lot of noise while grinding. Not more than a typical household espresso machine. It grinds relatively quickly, so you don't waste time. Cleaning it is easy. All you need is a brush to clean the blades. The top part of the blades is detachable and the 10 additional grind levels can be adjusted.
  Moreover, it also has a safety feature where when you remove the container that holds the coffee beans, it displays a relevant message on the screen that it is unlocked and you cannot grind coffee until it is placed back. At the same time, it secures the container to prevent coffee beans from spilling. Obviously, when you want to clean the grinder, you should unplug it for your complete safety. Finally, it is good to clean it frequently, so that coffee residues from the beans do not remain inside, as they can affect the taste of a fresh coffee. Once every two weeks is fine if you don't make many cups of coffee daily.

  In conclusion, it is a very good household machine to experiment with and achieve good results. It is necessary to have a grinder at home as it will significantly improve the quality of the coffee or beverages you drink, because an espresso machine alone is not enough and its performance is essentially lost if you use pre-ground coffee. Pre-ground coffee loses 50-70% of its characteristics 15-30 minutes after grinding, so with the exact same blend of coffee, you get a much better and higher quality result if it is freshly ground compared to pre-ground.

  * There is a store (from which I purchased the grinder) where you can buy the product as well as other products from the company and have service and spare parts for the products you purchased https://sage-appliances.gr/.
