I went out on a limb in a way and decided to try this one based on the online overwhelmingly good reviews of it. And I have to say, the good reviews are right.First of all made in Germany so you know it's quality. I do pour over and chemex now which take different grinds and it can give me very good coffee either way. It feels very solid, no play, and it's a little arm work to get your coffee ground, but you knew that going in.This will probably outlast me. If you are going to grind in advance I recommend the brown colored jars you can get for it.Also I recommend the "Big Joe" handle I believe it's called - it makes it a bit easier to grind, and I also recommend the "Red clix" for it as it gives you a lot finer range. They recommend it for espresso but honestly you can use it with any type of brew to get optimal taste. But you have to be comfortable in taking it apart and installing it.I can't think of anything else I would have asked for with this and highly recommend it.
