We upgraded from a Baratza Virtuoso, to which we had added the optional scale. It did a good job, but you could only approximate the ideal grind. The La Marzocco is undoubtedly professional grade. The ground coffee is completely clump-free and I rarely lose any grounds out of the portafilter. I’m just waiting for my points to activate so I can buy a decRead more about review stating Excellent Grinder!ent scale to fully take advantage of the infinite grind settings.

Are you kidding me? This is the dream machine for our house. I planned on several days to get this dialed in. After watching a couple of Marc videos I had this right where we want it by the first morning. You want quiet? This is quiet. You want clean? This leaves no mess whatsoever. The bean gate is difficult to pull out so I attached a key ring a

I had a fairly fancy grinder but this blows it out of the water. It’s remarkably quiet, quick, and easy to use. It’s also beautifully made. It was a hard decision to go way over my budget, but am now confident that it is well worth it and can’t imagine that I’ll ever need another grinder. Paired with a Synchronika.

This La Marzocco grinder is suburb. It has performed flawlessly. The hopper size is perfect for residential use as it allows the grinder to slide under my cabinets and it holds exactly 1lb. of beans. -JM

However, no directions, so I called to get a booklet or pdf file I could print for the operation of it and cleaning/maintenance; I am sure it was just overlooked. Please send!

Although I have been upgrading my espresso making system for decades, I had no idea a professional grinder could make such a difference. This machine is AWESOME! Being able to dial in grind size in such small increments makes a huge difference in espresso quality. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

This is a fantastic grinder and I’m glad I splurged on it. I make flat whites every morning with an expobar office lever. I upgraded to te cesso from a rancilio rocky with which I was never able to achieve consistent results. The cesso is extremely precise and predictable— I’m able to modify the grind setting with new beams remarkably easily with Read more about review stating Fantastic grinderusually only one or two test shots. This reliability is the most important thing to me because my coffee routine is really about the ease of having great espresso every single morning without a lot of trial and error. I haven’t had a sink shot in months. This ceado grinder in conjunction with an Acaia lunar scale have made the biggest improvement in my daily coffee routine.

I’ve owned different coffee grinders over the years, but the La Marzocco is totally amazing. The turn-screw fine adjustment gives you the perfect grind. The electronic dosing provides consistency for perfect shots of espresso. Best grinder ever!

Quiet. Precise and easy grind setting. Consistent granularity. Clean drop into portafilter. Excellent hopper, but single-dose grinding also possible.
