 Mine died. Not a good design August 29, 2008
J. Stiger (Sacramento)
The price sure has gone up.... I paid $29.99 for this from Amazon a few years back. It is a nice looking unit. It is fairly loud and eventually clogs and requires a lot of work to clean it out again. Mine clogged again recently and after cleaning it out it won't work. I'm in the market for another grinder and I won't be buying another one of these.
 Broke after 3 uses. July 2, 2008

Purchased this grinder for my husband as a gift. I can't review how well it worked because I don't myself drink coffee. However, like some other reviewers I can tell you that the grinding mechanism broke after 3 uses. It is inexpensive for a Burr grinder but perhaps not particularly durable and ultimately not the best product.
pretty good; required modification June 20, 2008

I bought this for $30, and at that price I'm glad I did. Two flaws: first, sometimes beans cease to feed properly from the bean feeder, making it necessary to shake the unit to get the flow going again. Second, with repeated use the unit will sometimes shake the reservoir slightly loose while grinding; this engages a safety switch and stops the half-finished grind. Very irritating! I disassembled the unit and shorted the safety switch so as to make it nonfunctional, and have been pleased with the results (although I can now accidentally spew coffee all over my kitchen if I stupidly press start when the reservoir isn't in place.
All in all a pretty good unit, but not something I'd pay $50 for.
Barely OK for beginners, Just Spend $30 more and Step Up to Conical April 24, 2008

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RP7MCXOYKVEUU It really takes away from making a good cup. Save your money and go for a grinder like the Saeco Titan, Solis 166, or Starbucks Maestro. It'd be a decent deal at $30, but $50 is sadly high. This grinder is NOT A CONICAL, it's just a burr grinder.

Yikes,
I know we are suppose to be PC, and gentle and polite with reviews. I really don't know how to write this.
I wanted to have this grinder forever! I had it for 2.5 weeks, before it burned out! I did the same amount of grinding as I have done in my little DeLonghi. I have had the Delonghi for seven years.
The Ariete people were nice there in Italy. I just don't believe I'll be smacked in the face by the wet mop twice.
John
