So, I was hesitant to order an Open Box item, but ended up taking a chance given the savings, and I am glad I did. While I have only had the SK40 a few weeks, I am pleased with its performance. I like the stepless design, making it easy to tweak the grind ever so slightly. The only caution I have is one that has been called out in numerous reviews - don't plan to use this as your only grinder if you bounce between espresso and another brewing method. This is a great espresso grinder for darker roasts. If you are a fan of darker roast beans, look no further. This does that exceptionally well.

My hubby loved the grinder - it works flawlessly and I enjoy a coffee from it everyday.

Nothing out there now with big 83 conicals and a solid build like this for home. Heat low and fast grind at 280 RPM. Aesthetically pleasing. Grateful espresso outlet brought it to market. Just what I needed! Thanks so much.

First, Steve was very helpful in figuring out what you need out of a grinder. Customer service has been amazing, and gives me confidence in the product and support for it after purchase. I paired my Lelit Bianca v3 with this grinder and have been getting amazing shots. Grinder looks sleek, clean and feels extremely robust, like a proper piece of heavy duty equipment robust. Retention has not been an issue, the knocker tool and bellows do everything they need to, if they're even needed. It is actually quite quiet. Would recommend the black dial on black body combination. Overall quite a lot of grinder.

So far after three weeks, this machine has performed great. The temperature stability is good for pulling a double shot and steaming milk, with minimal time to reheat. It has been great value.

Just got my machine recently and have been having excellent expressos and milk based drinks with this. Love the flow/ pressure profiling and temps are super accurate as well. Dont miss the vibratory pump either from my old Rocket :-)

Awesome product, fast shipping and excellent customer service

Easy to install

Looks great works great

Showed up in great working order. I’m still learning how to dial it in. Likely need a DF54 or 64 in the near future so I can try some lighter roasts. My oxo grinder is incapable. All that to say I am happily building my espresso workstation around this machine. That should say a lot.

they smell amazing

The M1 lite is sooooo rad! Everyone in my family wants me to roast for them now, which is awesome because I can really fine tune quickly with how small the batch size is. I highly recommend this product! I've done 13 batches in 3 weeks!

Very nice machine! Took my very good espresso up several levels of wow!
This grinder is not loud and since it is so fast, even if the volume did bother some, it is over before you can knock out the last puck.
I love this grinder! It’s beautiful, solid and takes up very little space.
