I have one, received from my wife for Christmas. Very pleased with the ease of use. Have it close to where I want it as of timing. The grind is somewhat clumpy, and it is the same issue I had with my previous grinder.
Since I am not a "tool guy" I was drawn to the ease of use and maintenance of this grinder. I also did not want to "fuss" over the doser anymore. Not much left in the chute, less than 1 gram from what I most recently dug out. The grinder is extremely quiet. I use a 2 inch piece of piping as a bean funnel to the grinding chamber. Overall the grinder, when used this way is not imposing on the counter, about the same size as an M4 Macap.
The output from my espresso machine seems to have smoother crema consistency, however I have not blind tasted this point.
Got if from Whole Latte Love when they were running a decent discount on the grinder. Was looking at the K8 Fresh and M30 at same time. Difference in pricing was 250 and 550 from what I paid. Overall I would do this again. My grinder and machine are safe from upgradeitis for quite a while.
