Loud but works good.

Muy bueno aún funciona y trae mucha forma de molido para diferentes cafeteras

Nice little grinder! Perfect for grinding decaf beans in the evening!Got tired of changing my beans in my espresso every day.

I've happily used this grinder every morning since its arrival. Comes apart easily for cleaning when I switch beans and gives a very consistent grind after several months of use. I have not used the espresso filler attachment, but I do get a few extra grinds that don't make it into the bucket so I can imagine it might not deliver a very clean dispense into a portafilter.

Great coffee grinder. Good price and works well. I grind for espresso and regular drip coffee.

I am an amateur espresso maker to say the least so as far as how high of quality is grinds, I would have no idea. My coffees and americanos come out great so no complaints there. My only small issues is when you have the attachment that lets me use the portafilter directly, there is no room for the little plastic shield to have the automatic function work correctly. That is very minor because pushing a start button is very minor. My biggest gripe is the least amount of time you can run it is 5 seconds which is just a little bit too much time for a single serving. When I take out the portafilter adapter it then uses a # of cups unit, which 1 cup is not enough and 2 cups is too much. Again it does work really well overall but a little more adjustment would make it perfect... for me.

Bought as i needed a second grinder for decaf. This gives my nuova simonelli grinta grinder a run for its money. I'd go so far as to say that i like this better than the grinta

I bought it because of the good ratings. It is even better than what I had expected.Easy to operate. Because I previously used a manual burr for a long time, this automated machine took some getting used to. After making a mess a few times, I quickly learned it. It's not hard. It's just unfamiliar.I was a little concerned about cleaning up after reading the reviews. But what cleaning? Unless you are operating it clumsily (like what I did in the beginning), there really is not much cleaning to do. I use the portafilter cradle. There is inevitably a little bit of spillover falling to the base, which can be easily wiped out. Then there's nothing else to be cleaned. I don't even wipe it every time. I do perhaps only once a week (but I admit I'm not that particular about cleanness).The preset times for the portafilter have a minimum of 5 seconds and cannot be set for a shorter period of time. I initially thought the 5 seconds was producing a little bit too much coffee for a 1-cup portafilter and wished it had a slightly shorter minimum setting. But after a while, I realized that 5 seconds is just perfect for 1 cup. (Still, it might be a good idea for the manufacturer to change the minimum setting to allow shorter periods just for the sake of flexibility. You never know what one might need. Besides, the amount of coffee the burr produces also depends on the type of coffee beans, not only the time.)If you're using the same size portafilter all or most of the time, pre-setting the time is the only way to work because manual setting would require you to press multiple buttons every time.The coffee grains produced by this machine are perfect. Far superior to that produced by an electric coffee grinder with a chopping mechanism (versus burr). Some might say, the coffee quality is in the coffee itself, how can a burr or grinder make any difference? Huge difference. The key difference is really the evenness of grain sizes, which has a huge impact on the coffee flavor, especially for pressure coffee makers and espresso makers. Burr is the only way to go for this type of coffee maker. And this machine is a pretty good burr.

me duró 6 meses funcionando muy bien, la molienda es muy consistente y buena para hacer espreso, pero ya se aflojó la banda de transmision del motor y no tiene manera para tensarla, así que le hice un arreglo temporal para tensarla pero no funciono por mucho tiempo, se siguió aflojando, así que la compra no vale la pena, por este precio mejor un encore aunque no sea programable

I’m beyond pleased with this product! Let me get to specifics:I began an espresso kick about a few months ago, and learned all I could about what it was and how to make good coffee. I have a delonghi stilosa machine, this is a pressurized espresso maker. This means that most espresso fanatics consider it “not real espresso” which I understand. I’d do some looking and researching to learn why but basically it isn’t as strong or as true to the flavor. Either way, I love the machine and wanted to get the best out of it I could. One big thing with espresso and strength and flavor is the beans and freshness, as well as the grounds and when they were grounded up.I had an old little 20 dollar grinder from years ago, and it worked decently well but it didn’t really evenly distribute the grounds, meaning there were some too fine and some chunks. When it comes to espresso this is not good, it will cause the hot water to not distribute evenly and mess up the flavor, not to mention channeling (the water tries to find a way out and goes through the areas it can and makes an uneven coffee). So I wanted to start investing in my own grinder. I don’t know about you all, but when it comes to amazon or any other purchase, I always go by the reviews and the ratings. I look for products in my price range and then search for ones that have the most amount of reviews and the highest star ratings. I will almost never choose a product with less than 100 reviews. Honestly ones less than 500 often. I found the “sowtech conical burr grinder” with 38 precise grinding options. It had 55,000 reviews if I remember right and about 4.5 stars or so. It cost about what this machine did. I was excited, and I truly felt it had a good amount of praise.I have never had a product fail so miserably in my life! I almost cut my hand trying to attach it’s bean holder, I couldn’t get it back on but when I finally did, I started the machine and the coffee grounds were so horrible I was shocked. I had it on espresso fine settings and that thing made coarse grinds, chunks of beans, and some powder! Awful. So I started my return process and looked again. I found this machine and saw only a few reviews but it really had all the things I want from my grinder! And price is super good for a specifically espresso grinder with 51 settings! I took a chance. So happy I did!!! The coffee grounds are perfect and even and it is absolutely incredible how easy it is! I think you should also definitely keep it clean and maintain.Also, sound is not terrible at all in my opinion. Touch screen is gorgeous and super easy. And it has an attachment to push your portafilter against it and let the grinds right into it, or even a puck to set the portafilter there and let it fall in! Also not to big or bulky and very beautiful.I highly recommend this machine and hope it works for you too!REPLACEMENT ASSISTANCE!!!-So my cat decided to knock the grind chamber (the plastic container that the grounds will grind into) onto the floor. Totally my issue not related to product malfunction! I went kind of searching to see if I could buy a replacement somehow and actually the only way I found to see about replacement parts was the Shardor website. I emailed them! I figured I’d just have to buy it. I even told them it was my own fault! I sent the email about my product model #, order image ( screen shot of the amazon purchase info), and then the specific part. Unbelievably, they emailed me right back within I think 2 days! They said we’ll just send you a new one for free and asked my address! After I responded they replied within I believe another day and said it could take 20 something business days, but it only took like 9! Not even business days, like 9 total days!!! I’m in awe! They were so kind! Obviously this part is most likely a cheaper part, just a plastic container. So I don’t know how it would go for other pieces but wow!!!!
