MattH It is an interesting question. As a grinder, I like it a lot. It does not have any peculiarities I cannot handle, but, there is a but. The Shuriken burrs have a taste profile that as yet, does not really float my boat. Whether that is because it never will, or I have been putting in beans that are not suited I do not know. When it arrived, it came with a very darkly roasted bean. Legend says conicals are more suited to darker roasts. I have just today ordered 4 × 250 gm bags of what I am hoping will be at the right level……I will report back
