I bought this grinder on a Friday after reading a lot of positive reviews all over the web. I really did my homework on this one.
I have to say it is really well made, with many of the earlier complaints clearly attended to. Its upper burr carrier mounted the burr without slop. There was no movement in the locating ears in the burr carrier. It was quiet and it ground very evenly from what I could see.
I also made the best coffee that I have ever made using it with the Carezza.
I would probably have no hesitation about recommending it to other people.
So, why did I return it then.
It sounds strange perhaps, but it was just too messy. Even with the extension silicon nozzle fitted it got coffee everywhere. I assume this is due to a static charge imparted to the grounds from the internal plastic components. After cleaning up the mess for a couple of days, I realised I couldn't live with it, and returned it regretfully to the shop. I say regretfully, as it fitted my budget, ground well, and looked good on the bench.
Damn.
