Bought this to accompany my newly acquired Delonghi Dedica Espresso Machine. It's worth every penny. The grinder is easy to use- only takes a few experiments to get the best grind for my coffee machine. The feature to start/pause the grinder simply by pushing the portafilter is genius.

Pros: Excellent at grinding with a very wide range of grind sizes, especially with the addition of extra settings in the burr mechanism. The first version of this grinder needed shim washers to manage a fine grind. Cons: MESSY Easily the messiest grinder I have had over the past 15 years. For some reason this latest model spits grinds all over the place as the filter basket (double) fills. (I have had 2 previous BCG 820BSS without this issue). The only way to minimize the problem is to run two single shots (At half the dose of a double) remove the group handle, lightly flatten the grinds, then re-insert and run the 2nd grind - even then it still makes a mess. PAUSE FUNCTION Pause is useless. If you pause mid grind to flatten the coffee to minimize the mess, you have about 2 seconds to do so before the pause period ends. Stupidly it then resets to a full grind time so you have no way of working out how much grind time was left before you paused, which means you have to guess the balance and adjust the time accordingly. Using two single shots for a double filter avoids the pause debacle. Read full review

This is a step up from the most basic grinders that most appliance makers offer, and it's well priced for it. It does what I want: reliably makes espresso-fine grinds, good enough for an espresso machine that costs 10 times more than it does.

Grinds a perfect expresso with easy to use digital settings that was recommended to me by a Barista as the best home grinder on the market. As always shop around. Bing Lee let it go for just under $150.00.

What I like about this product is how it is so easy to use. Just a touch of a button and you will have the perfect grind of coffee. I also like how to bottom part is detachable to clean off ground coffee spills. The display is so straight-forward indicating the time it will take to grind the beans, number of cups and the ground level. Great product plus the fact that this went on sale so 2 thumbs up!
