One of the most surprising new feature is the suction cup feet, you don’t have to babysit it while its running. This one is not going to walk it’s self off the counter while it grinds.
I put 4oz of fresh espresso coffee beans, not wanting to bog down the grinder by putting too much in. I needn’t worry about that. 20 seconds and perfect regular grind coffee.
For espresso finely grinding beans is key and you don’t want a machine that heats up as it grinds because that can degrade the flavor of your coffee. For espresso I waited a few seconds and give it another 20 seconds. It ground the contents evenly and thoroughly. (And quietly! Even my husband mentioned how quiet it was)
It did not get warm when running, as I said a very important factor for the flavor integrity of any thing you want to grind.
