Budan Electric Coffee Burr Grinder for Espresso Coffee and Manual Coffee Brewing, 40MM conical Burrs, 31 Grind Settings, Best in Class, 1 Year Warranty for Home Use only, Black

This machine work’s fantastic and I have been using it regularly since it arrived !

I bought this for our son in law, who has bought an entry level espresso machine. I helped him get set up and the grinder seemed pretty good for the price point He was able to pull a passable shot quite quickly. Unable to say anything about the durability of the grinder, but visually it seemed to solid enough and I expect it to outlast the espresso machine.

Build is a bit fragile (specially the jars & lids). Other than that, the quality of the grind is very good. No burnt taste in your coffee because the grinding is done at a low speed. Wouldn't have minded paying a bit more for sturdier jars. Anyway, I'm very happy with the consistent grind size which works well with my aeropress.

I have no complaints against the machine save that even at a grind setting of 1, the grind size is not fine enough for an espresso.

I’ve been a user of this for 10 months now. This grinder is good if you’re brewing ONLY for french press and v60s. This is an okay grinder for coarse selection (a bit inconsistent and 0.2-0-4gm retention).But if you’re considering it for espresso machine, this is a big no. I recently moved to Rancilio Silvia (from Mr. Coffee espresso mach with pressurised baskets), and the grind size is too coarse for non pressurised baskets.The company doesn’t respond to this issue clearly. i’m even up to get the burr replaced but the company something’s brewing doesn’t know anything about it because they just imported it from china and got it branded. I even wrote it on their product demo youtube video as a comment which they deleted immediately.I’d recommend you to rather go for manual timemore or bartaza electric grinder. Atleast you’ll not regret

I have used the espresso machine from the same brand and this product is also as good as the machine. Worth the price. Highly recommended.

I have had this grinder for a little over 6 months now, and it has been my primary grinding option for may morning cortado, using the Gaggia classic pro. I also use it daily for brewed coffee too - like french press or aero press.Once you have dialed in the grind size for espresso it will consistently grind at that size, resulting in sweet and delicious cups of espressos.However, the main problem that i have faced with this is when i change my grind setting for a french press coffee - on moving to the coarse setting, it does deliver reasonably consistent grounds - but if i try to move it back to the espresso grind size that i had dialed it in previously - it gives extremely varied results. Sometimes the shots are too quick, at other times, they get completely choked. I don't know or understand why, but changing grind settings between extreme coarse and fine options messes with the consistency of the grinder making it unreliable for using it for a wider range of coffee.Just to be clear - this grinder has a lot of retention, and i do purge it with the new grind setting using roughly 5 gms of coffee beans.If you'll only be using it for one specific coffee brew method - this works fine, though if you prefer large variations (like cold brew, french press to an espresso) - be prepared to dial in espresso again and again (even if you're using the same beans)I'll be looking to upgrade to either the Baratza Encore ESP or the fellow opus when they launch - as they are reviewed as much better full range grinders.

I've been using it daily for the last 6 months.Looks good in the kitchen!Grinds quicklyGood build
