When I purchased this, I wanted a high quality burr grinder to complement my Italian retro copper and brass espresso maker.
Pros: It is beautifully made and very heavy and solid. It has a nice glass coffee bean holder. There's a heavy duty brass Elektra logo plaque, which enhances its retro appearance. I assume the grind was set perfectly during testing before it was boxed and shipped because the grind is fabulous leaving our espresso with a beautiful la crema. I can't address the variability of the grind because we haven't felt the need to adjust it in the last 3 months. It arrived securely and wonderfully packaged.
Cons: I assumed the doser was detachable. Unfortunately it isn't, and I think its chrome color, black plastic lid, and contemporary style detract somewhat from the retro appearance. In addition, you must grind several doses of espresso to get the doser to be full enough to accurately dispense single doses into a portafilter (then, however, they are perfectly sized). Another odd thing is that the plate on the bottom of the unit is attached to the inner workings rather than the copper body, and mine sits slightly crooked as a result. At $800, it seems a little strange to have to put a quarter under the edge to have it stand up straight.
Ok, that said, I'm very happy with the espresso I get using this grinder, happy with the quality of the manufacturing and the appearance overall, and would buy it again.
