Espresso Outlet House Blend

Perfect

Best grinder for the money hands down.

Wow. This grinder is amazing. Im a beginner, but it is smooth, quiet and very consistent. My coffee keeps getting better and better. I think you should buy one too.

Fantastic customer service. Joe called me to let me know I ordered a part that wasn’t compatible and got me on the right track. He even threw in a free piece for declumper. 100% recommend shopping here over others.

For grinding espresso, it is hard to beat. If you also want coarser grind, perhaps it is less ideal. I find 85 best for pour over. Not sure that you could use it for café press.

Great quality, super quiet and delivers fantastic results.

Very happy so far with my grinder (I've had it two weeks) the customer service was really good and shipping was fast once it came in. I pre-ordered the silver grinder with red titanium burrs. Sadly they didn't receive any in their shipment so I was given the option to get a silver grinder with stainless steel burrs and a refund for the upgrade to titanium burrs or get red titanium burrs in the white or black color. I opted to keep the silver color and downgrade to stainless steel burrs as I had been on the fence about upgrading in the first place and I wanted the silver color. I am a little disappointed but this wasn't espresso outlets fault and as I said, the customer service, while not outstandingly so, was great and shipping was quick. So far I am satisfied with my purchase and love the grinder. I've only used it for pour over coffee so have used a coarser grind. It's been working great, the only complaint I have is something that I was aware of from reviews and that is the retention rate. It tends to keep some grounds inside which is a little annoying but definitely worth it for the quality of this grinder at this price. I know some people complained that it was too noisy as something you probably use first thing in the morning but I don't find it super noisy.

Very fast shipping. Everything accurately counted. Nice doing business with you guys.

The first one that came in the mail died within days. Seriously. It just stopped working. Luckily I purchased it from Espresso Outlet for just this reason. I had a new one within days and now that I’ve had some time with it, I’m beyond impressed. You can’t get burrs this large for this price. There has to be a catch.

But there isn’t.

Even my wife, whose tastes are not terribly particular, has told me how much better the coffee tastes. Worth every penny and then some.

Plus, I like using the grind cup to make it look like it just came out of a Devo video.

Dialing in grind size and bought a collar to keep all the grinds in the portafilter. Loving the Eureka Mignon Specialita. Double shot Americano to start the day. Yeehaw!

Love the grinder...makes all the difference in my espresso making.

So far I have roasted 4 batches with the M1 Lite, and I'm very pleased. I have been roasting 6.4 oz / 181 grams for years, so the size matches my needs. Using Artisan on Linux, and all works perfectly. As for the sale, I received shipping info 3 days after I ordered, and it was delivered 8 days from order. Good experience.

Great shipping. Product as advertised.

Machine was shipped ver quickly and the quality has surprised both my wife and I. I have been working in the coffee industry for over 10 years and wanted something to use at home that would give more space for experimentation and for making tasty drinks. This does that with flying colors!!

First of all, there is not a lot of content or discussion about this machine in comparison to others. If you do a bunch of research from various places online you can get a real understanding of the value of this machine at the price point. This machine solves 2 direct problems with budget home machines. 1: direct plumbing and drain. The included pressure reducer/check valve makes this pump way above it's weight automatically. 2: thermoblock for brewing, steam boiler for milk steaming. No other machine has this configuration, and I have no idea why. Because of the very easily accessible OPV it also defeats an additional problem with spending under $1,500. You usually have to choose between a cheaper rotary or gear pump or a vibratory pump that produces way too much pressure. And while this unit ships with the pressure too high, backing off the valve is very easy. The machine also feels incredibly sturdy, even with commercial machines clocking on the portafilter you can move the whole machine on the counter, but not this one. Solid as a rock. Steam performance is incredible, dry steam because no heat exchanging. Hot water tap is my only gripe, just like every machine that sends water from the boiler, it flash boils and makes a hot mess. A cold blending valve might be a good mod when the warranty expires. Overall the espresso features with the programmable pre infusion, volumetrics from the flowmeter are all you really need to match machines 4x it's cost. I will say that the group head heating mechanism is not the most impressive thing, but it is better than nothing and I like the energy efficiency of the machine overall. It is my favorite espresso out of all the places I go to work on espresso machines in the field and I don't think you can do any better for under a $grand.
