This grinder was a disappointment.  While it grinds the coffee with less heat than a traditional blade grinder and can produce a fine grind, it also produces a lot of dust to go along with it.  (In fact this grinder seemed to crush/smash the beans more than grind them.  Imagine crushing or smashing the beans with a hammer or rock and the dust that would create...) This dust can give your coffee a bitter taste.  So, while you may have read, as I did, that a burr grinder will get you closer to an amazing cup of coffee or espresso, I would not recommend this particular burr grinder for that job.  I am on a quest for espresso or coffee as I tasted it in Italy.  The more research I do I find that it is all about the grinder and this one just did not produce the kind of cup I was looking for.  I am now saving towards a really nice conical burr grinder and I will be doing my research before I purchase another one.  I did not do enough research before purchasing the Krups burr grinder and we ended up taking it back to the store from which we purchased it.  If you are on a search for a great cup of espresso save your pennies and buy a really great, albeit more expensive, grinder that does the job.
