I have had no issues with the grinder itself which is functioning perfectly. My espresso results are quite impressive. Really, really yummy. Silky flows with beautiful mouthfeel. New flavor sensations cascading throughout my oral apparatus. I feel I may be on the edge of espresso nirvana.

I feel like I've taken a few steps backwards since it's all new and I'm not really hitting THE ZONE lately. I've had to slow down a little so I'm practicing with some CCC Aficionado rather than changing beans as frequently as I've done in the past. It's like I have ADD--I can't concentrate on controlling my variables since I'm switching back and forth between the 2 grinders. I'll start to get some sweet results on one grinder then feel kind of guilty that I'm ignoring the other one. But a few days will have passed since last use and I'll have to re-adjust my grind or dose or temp or something. Takes a few tries, frustration builds. I'm still a beginner with too many toys that are really stretching my abilities.
So my head is spinning a bit. Some days I yearn for the lower expectations of Silvia & Rocky.
But sorry, NO, you can't take this problem off my hands!

I found it interesting to read the collected eBay feedback -- most all instances of negative feedback were related to either (1) excessive delays, or (2) complete lack of communication. Hmm ... where have we heard THOSE complaints before ...
