Best Coffee Grinders for Baristas

it does everything you could possibly want a professional level grinder for.

as far as making a good grind for coffee it is the best we've owned and as good as the big grinders used in the professional places.

you don't need to be an uber-guru-espresso-maker to benefit from this machine, but i imagine it would help.

the bottom line is that this unit is quiet, sturdy and attractive while making a great grind of coffee for our professional bunn coffee maker.

w/ other c/b grinders, i find this product is very acceptable for the amateur barista.

i have read that serious espresso folks prefer a finer grind than this can provide but i'm not a barista, not yet atleast, so i'm loving it so far.

i've been a barista for seven years -- this grinder functions nearly as well as the professional models i've used.

regardless of how much i like the design and overall functionality, its just not the right machine for a budding espresso enthusiast.

very professional looking (looks right at home next to my viking range -- that should tell you something).

this is not a professional grade grinder, it is not designed for commercial use.

it's not a mazzer, it's not an isomac, it's not even a starbucks barista.

first, let me say that i am not a coffee connoisseur (heresy, i know).

but, after visitors accidentally broke my starbucks barista grinder, i had to buy a new grinder and this is the one i decided upon.

i think we can all agree that this is not a top-notch barista-quality machine, but this is a pretty good grinder for the $$.
