Baratza Maestro Grinder

Size ; Cost ; No Static problems ; Good range of grind settings ; Great customer support

Mostly plastic construction ; Coarse grind setting produces fines

Great grinder for everything but espresso and turkish. grinds come out pretty even, easily accessible to burrs and hopper replacement. 40 steps gives good control of grinds

does not grind fine enough for espresso, therefore cannot dial in for espresso either. noisy

Simple to use ; Quiet ; Small footprint

Only one usable grind setting for espresso use ; Clogs easy for fine grind ; Lots of static clumping for fine grind

Loud ; Poor engineering

ok if your broke

no good for expresso

Simple to operate ; Attractive and relatively small ; Adequate grinding range and easy to change from one grind type to the next ; Easy to clean ; Inexpensive

Unacceptable for espresso (in my experience) ; Too much plastic, not enough metal ; Static can be a slight issue
