Range of burr control is sufficient to allow the grinder to be adjusted from espresso all the way to french press. Use the included allen key to achieve burr contact on one end of the grind-scale, and the other end of grind-scale will be plenty coarse for french press. The allen key only need be used to make an initial adjustment – thereafter the grind control will allow you to pull shots and then immediately go to drip or french press (without needing the allen key).Weighing scale allows perfect precise espresso dosing. Unique in this respect, and fast repeatable shots are a result. No need for the Baratza portafilter holder. Pour the grinds from the bin into the portafiler for uniform distribution and to eliminate clumping. Works a treat. Using the Baratza portafilter holder won’t allow the weight scale to function. Weighing the grinds is more accurate than timing them.Ergonomic design and user interface. We use it with our GS3, drip machine, and french press. Low enough to fit under kitchen cabinets. Built like a tank. Heavy. Study metal construction – not flimsy in any way. Pricey, yes, but cheaper than buying two quality grinders (one for drip/french, and another for espresso).Recommended.
