Does anyone have one of these? Any thoughts apart from the extortionate price lol?

There was a thread about something similar a while back and it seemed the negatives were..
It's small.
You need to switch it off after so long as it gets too hot or breaks.
Oh...don't you be making any drunken purchases!

Drunk? Me? Never! Mine is a Kenwood anyway

I'm sure I enquired once about the Kenwood equivalent and it turned out that it is designed for making flour and is not adjustable to a coarse crush that we would want.

I don't always want a coarse crush as such but wondered if it would give something in between.

I need to edit what I said, "It is designed for making flour and is not adjustable."

Although whoever told me that could be wrong...

Leave it alone...get a proper one.

I'm having the grainfather one as soon as it comes back in stock. Just curious though.

Great decision! I always research into what is the best for my needs...the most expensive isn't always the best choice because its the most expensive! But sometimes there's no alternative! I do think that user experience and the company behind stuff and their reputation helps.

Agreed Clint.
