Great value, very quiet compared to my Gaggia MDF. Has about 100 stops around the dial. Very easy to dial in beans. My setting for dark oily beans is 7.5..
The small bean hopper fits under a standard kitchen cabinet. Compared to the MDF this grinder is much faster and seems to create more body in the shot.

Description:
The Quamar M80ETL is a design that has been proven by years of use. It is based off the design and functionality of the Fiorenzato T80, a proven workhorse (sorry, we do not stock parts for the Fiorenzato T80 and we do not know which are interchangeable). The M80 features the same quality internals, with upgraded/modernized aesthetics. The M80 provides a renewed look that follows modern aesthetic tendencies while having conservative dimensions.
The burr carrier is improved, using a long throat to ensure hopper stability and a VERY fine stepped adjustment. The M80ETL also features ETL certification. At the introductory price of only $449, it's hard to beat.

Notes:
- Please note as with all coffee grinders, it is very important to only change grind settings on when the unit is powered 'on' and the burrs are in motion. If you do not do this, the burrs will 'gunk' up and require cleaning by you every time this occurs. Changing the grind settings when the burrs are not in motion will render the grinder to only produce very coarse grinds or no grinds at all. If this result occurs, this will be considered operator error for lack of following directions, and will not be classified as a defective grinder - meaning this is not covered under warranty.
- Quamar grinders are considered commercial equipment for grinding coffee only and can not be returned once used.
- Comparison to another espresso grinder.
