- The reviews about noise are true... VERY loud - The reviews about static are true.... very energetic ground beans leaping out of the hopper after grinding. - The reviews of being useless for espresso are true. We had to shim this one to make the burr blades capable of touching (and making even MORE racket) in order to get an acceptably fine espresso grind. -Cory -- ************************************************************************* * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************************************* -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
