The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

The only alternative to the baratza 270wi, which is capable of dosing grinding by weight - but 5 times cheaper. Grinding into a container, followed by pouring into a portafilter - at home it is even more convenient than directly into the horn; much less spilled coffee. I use an ergonomic container from Nivona 130 - nothing at all wakes up past the holder. Any container with a right angle will do, or a metal cup of a suitable diameter - as is done in the super-expensive English Niche Zero.

Pros

An affordable model that allows automatic dosing of coffee by weight. Grinding adjustment, sufficient for espresso on a professional single-bottomed horn. Conical millstones. Quiet (compared to Nivona 130 - subjectively twice as quiet). High grinding speed. Practically does not crumple, the grinding is uniform. Ergonomics is exceptionally thought out: it can be easily disassembled for cleaning, the grain tank is automatically blocked when removed - the grain does not scatter; and opens itself during installation. Made in Germany, official warranty - 2 years.

Cons

Slightly electrifies coffee, the powder sticks to the container - but not critical. Dosing by weight is only possible when grinding into a container; The holder holder is not connected to the scale and is not suitable for professional horns - but can be easily removed. The container for ground coffee in the kit is not suitable for pouring into the coffee maker.
