Easy-to-use and works wonderfully. I find it very quiet and easy to adjust both the time and grind. I love that you can stop it mid-grind to settle the coffee in the portafilter. The only negative I have, and it’s a very minor thing, is I wish the portafilter holder didn’t have to be screwed in. If it were able to pop in & out, it would be easRead more about review stating Great Grinderier to clean.

This grinder is the perfect addition to the Rocket Appartamento. It has timed functions for single and double shots, guaranteeing consistency. It’s a small, stylish, relatively quiet grinder and it’s really fool-proof. It also has a super useful pause function. I recommend it highly.
