"I used a clapped out 10yo Mazzer super jolly for 10 years or so, and those are great grinders"
"I got my first espresso setup almost 4 years ago with a used Gaggia Classic (steam wand mod) and a used Mazzer Super Jolly"
"My friend told me that they follow the "buy nice or buy twice" mindset, and I bought a $300 used Mazzer SJ because of that advice"

"I had a Silvia/Rocky combo for over 10 years and now I just use a Flair Lever Espresso Maker with a Comandante MK3 hand grinder"
"Not that I could help much, I haven't disassembled my comandante in 1 year I've been using it and have no plans to do so ever"
"got curious again, got a comandante c40 which improved things DRAMATICALLY, but still stuck to the beans I was using at the time, which were some supermarket lavazza beans"

What owners are saying
"Anyways, I finally bought a new grinder (Baratza Sette 270) but I’d like to breathe new life into this one and give it to my sister"
"My Sette 270 was the original scale-less iteration, and it had stopped performing to a degree that still made satisfying espresso"
"I had both the Sette 270 and Specialita for a period of time, and I did see noticeable taste and shot consistency improvements with the Eureka flat burrs"

"I use a clever dripper-- 20g at a med/med fine grind (i am on a eureka filtro)- float on top a la hoffman of 330g water at 200f"
"I've owned or used extensively (like daily at office) a whole lot of the decent budget grinders, Vario, specialita, sette 270, Rocky, and now got a niche"
"It was slightly cheaper, but my friend has this wilfa grinder, and the workflow feels kinda mixed, compared to Eureka grinders"

What owners are saying
"My plan was to always purchase a Niche Zero or a DF 64, but free is free and helps the bank account recover for a bit, lol"
"Also looking back I wish I had not gotten a Barista Express but a Gaggia Classic and a DF64 instead, better startet setup"
"We hardly use it, we got a DF64, but I imagine that if you train it will get easier"

"Works out nicely :) Also really a big fan of the fellow ode and felt this made me very happy to have the little gripes I had worked out"
"I recently gave up my Encore with M2 burrs and my Fellow Ode in favor of the Timemore (which I've owned for a few years)"
"Got my Fellow Ode delivered today after a few months (yes, I have a problem) of research for a great pour over, drip, siphon, and cold brew grinder"
