It cuts very unevenly; for me, for a good grinder you need to spend over 120 to 150 euros. As I bought it, it went into storage!

Factory-wise it doesn't work well, it's only suitable for a pressurized portafilter.
With a simple hack you can find on YouTube, I got it to grind amazingly.
The only issue is that the basket collects a lot of static electricity, resulting in ground coffee flying everywhere when opening. However, with a bit of care, it's manageable.

I have read the reviews regarding the grind and followed the instructions to set it to a more “fine” setting. However, after several tests, I found that my espresso machine performs better with the factory setting.

Static electricity does exist, but it can be dealt with very easily using simple and inexpensive “tricks” (basic physics).

Overall, I am very satisfied with the result. For €45, I definitely think it is worth it.

The result is very satisfactory. Of course, it cannot reach the level of professional machines as it is purely a home-use device. Its size is ideal for a kitchen with limited space. I definitely solved my problem since the grind from various shops had proven unsuitable for my espresso machine...

I've had it for about 2 years. The first year, it ground coffee quite well (even for espresso). Over time, the grinding deteriorates and now it's good for nothing. I made the appropriate adjustments I saw on YouTube but with almost zero result. I rarely rate a product and comment on it even less. HOWEVER, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND why De Longhi makes this product and for what reason.

Good for espresso, the coffee turns into powder at the fine setting.

Very good grinder, this modification or hack they talk about on the internet is not necessary. It grinds coffee very well like powder. Just make sure to snap the grinder together properly so it doesn't come apart during grinding. Read the instructions for this process. This is probably the reason why most people are not satisfied with the grinding.

Coffee bean grinder. Very good mill, obviously it is not professional, it won't grind the coffee to powder like a pre-ground one from the supermarket, but it does its job and grinds very well.

In no case for making espresso. I shouldn't have to come up with a workaround to cut a little better.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for espresso grinding.. it has a very coarse grind on fine. On the positive side. Nice as a construction and quite durable. You choose how many cups you want to grind. If you make the modification (which is easy, the steps are on YouTube) it transforms into a good grinding machine

Simple grinder.
Good for the price. With some searching, there are better ones at the same or slightly higher price.
Creates chaos during use due to the coffee's static electricity.

If you deal with the apple and the coffee, you will see a very good result. (The patented setting for the higher grinding is MANDATORY) It's not something that should scare you; it's quite simple, anyone can do it with a screwdriver. If you don't want to waste a lot on the apple and really want to achieve a very good result, go for this apple. The difference with this one, however, is that it will frustrate many until they achieve a proper result, and also this particular apple takes more time until you get the dose for the

The discs were damaged without much use. Additionally, the coffee came out chunky and did not work well for the Dedica Delonghi, which constantly clogs with ground coffee. Very good choice for grinding coffee.

I have it for a year and I absolutely have no complaints. I make espresso, it is very good at grinding. Its construction is very good. Okay the container is plastic so it generates static electricity and a small amount of coffee sticks to the walls, but it doesn't create any problems at all. Really worth its money

I have been using it since last Easter. It is an excellent grinder in its category.

For espresso, it does a great job even without any adjustments to the grinder. Okay, it splatters sometimes, but if you don't want to upgrade to a category of 150€+, it is really value for money. Probably the new batches (including mine) have improved the grinding for espresso.

I use a normcore bottomless portafilter on a Delonghi Dedica machine and always fresh beans. In fact, with good pressure from the tamper, there are times when it doesn't splatter at all.

As a general comment, it is a very good choice for those who are starting their espresso experience. If I change my machine later, then I will consider upgrading the grinder as well.

P.S. I also tried it for filter coffee and the result is very good.

First of all: If you want to grind espresso, simply DO NOT buy this grinder. I have done the conversion that is suggested online and even so, it doesn't grind fine enough.
Now, apart from that:
It grinds coffee or anything else very well (I tried it with flaxseeds and it worked amazingly). It has a timer to stop at a certain quantity and overall it functions decently. It has a decent capacity (definitely in grams) and significant amounts of coffee stick to the plastic parts (static). It is noisy, especially when it runs out of coffee and throws some beans back when grinding the last ones.

A mill of 50 to 55 euros highly satisfactory for home use. We must understand what we are buying and why. I have ground espresso so far in 2 different coffee beans at the last fine level and I really have no complaints. Of course, we put a free portafilter in the machine and not the mama as the mama blocks for fun with many types of espresso. From there on, I will come back to see the taste from other coffees as for so long I was buying pre-ground which sometimes was not what I expected

I have had it for almost 6 years. For those who want to make espresso without a pressurized portafilter, they will definitely need to use a screwdriver to adjust how finely it grinds, and even then, the result will be just barely satisfactory. It is not made for cutting espresso, but despite that, I bought it for 35 euros, and considering the years it has lasted and still endures, I consider it a value for money choice with a little bit of tinkering :P (without having tried the cheaper products, but comparing it to grinders that cost 200+). The assembly is not difficult and takes no more than 10 minutes.

I have the grinder since 9/22 and I am completely satisfied. I use it with a Dedica EC685 with a non-pressurized portafilter and it grinds the espresso quite finely without making the mess that other users mention with the blades. It seems that in the new devices that are sold, the company listened to the complaints of the users and the blades come properly adjusted from the factory. It makes quite a bit of noise when it operates, but in this price range, we can't have it all.

I have had it since 2017 and I did the relevant mod from the beginning and it works perfectly and the coffee with delonghi 685 is excellent. An espresso machine technician had told me that the best coffee you will drink is from a café with professional equipment and he is right, but I make better coffee than some cafés that I wonder why they sell coffee as a product. Of course, they have improved since the 90s when you had to go to a specific café for good espresso because the coffee in other cafés was not drinkable. Anyway, with the combination of these devices, I always like it and enjoy it... I cut espresso at 1

Very good grinder for its price always because it cannot be compared to a grinder that costs twice or five times as much. I use it for espresso with an unpressurized portafilter and I really didn't expect it to have such a good result. It grinds the espresso quite well and not at the last level. The older series had to be modded to achieve this, but the new ones need to have the gaps changed. The only downsides are that there is inconsistency in the ground coffee, which affects the espresso especially, but it levels out somewhat in the fine grind. It is very electrostatic, which can be solved with a little water on the coffee beans, but not completely. It makes quite a bit of noise. And the grind settings have a large variation. Don't expect everything to be perfect for 50 euros. However, for those who don't want perfection, it's fine.

I have been using it for a month now, and I am not impressed. I grind Lavazza oro coffee beans, and the result is that there are often unground pieces of beans. If I were to choose a coffee grinder again, I would go for something from Graef.

The old one opened and "got hacked". After about 3 years, its blades gave up and I bought a new one. The new one (same model) as soon as I "tightened" it, went straight to find a fault despite my conservative approach. As soon as I tightened it one click tighter than it was, it feels like it's catching powder between the teeth and spins (it doesn't pull hairs). I brought it back to factory settings. CAUTION because they may have changed the tolerances/gaps!

For the Delonghi Dedica with the factory pressurized basket on the fine setting, it cuts just fine, it's like coffee from the supermarket. Now, for the non-pressurized basket, the well-known trick is a one-way street. I did it from the first hour of purchase, turned the dial more than 90 degrees and it didn't cut the coffee on the fine setting, but it's not a problem because you adjust it a little higher than fine and it's perfect. The coffee comes down in 20 seconds with satisfactory crema. In short, the apple is worth its money for the €50 I bought it for, you have fresh coffee when you want it.

I bought this specific grinder with some reservations about whether it would grind the espresso finely enough, after reading the reviews. In the end, without even needing to use the finest setting, which is 12, I grind my espresso perfectly satisfactorily for my espresso machine. For the Delonghi Dedica that I have, the grind setting at 9 for espresso is excellent. I haven't used it yet for filter or Greek coffee, but I imagine that since it succeeded in the difficult part of grinding espresso, it will be excellent for the rest as well.

I have had the grinder since 2015 and it works flawlessly, making at least 2 coffees a day. I am completely satisfied with its home use. With the well-known hack, the limitations stop at the espresso machine...

Very nice, buy it. I did a YouTube intervention. I have had it for two years, a flawless machine. I want to get one for my country house and I saw that the price has almost doubled...

Simply put, the mill with its ceramic blades breaks the coffee instead of grinding it. The coffee comes out much more bitter and acidic compared to a high-quality mill (with metal blades). It does not produce better results than pre-ground coffee, unless it has been excessively stale.

Search the internet for articles from serious professionals and enthusiasts. It is suitable for a spice mill though. Its construction is poor, with the plastic parts falling off.
