My thoughts - budget grinder and does an okay job. It's has an acceptable speed for home usage (I dont have exact times; I think it's slightly ahead of the mazzer mini) but it is also VERY messy. It's full of static so you end up with 1/2 your grind on the kitchen bench. It also retains a fair bit of coffee within the chute which causes a bit of clumping (you really need to clean this grinder every 2 weeks).
Positives:
- Came free with the EM6910
- Metal body
- Conical burrs
- Cool flick switch
- Rubber mat
- Easy to disassemble for cleaning
Negatives:
- Grind quality and consistency is pretty average. The grinder will grind fine enough to choke the machine, but it is very hard to get a good extraction. Results in the cup is pretty good compared with the Solis Maestro, but very average when compared with the Mazzer Mini.
- Plastic internals
- The conical burrs are housed in a plastic burr carrier and the axle has lots of lateral movement
- Stepped grind adjustment
- Ground beans build up within the grinder
- Noisy
- Heat builds up quite quickly when grinding 100g of beans
