Pros and cons

  • +Ships with a shut-off hopper, grounds bin and grind-range shims
  • +One-year warranty, made in Taiwan
  • −$599.95, the second most expensive grinder here after the Niche Zero, and four times the $149.95 median
  • −One year of cover on a $600 machine
  • −No timer, because it doses by weight, which is a different workflow if you are used to one
