Yup, that's a bulk grinder; but it's not a steal. And you need to think about Bunn vs Grindmaster; is there a preference? Does the Bunn cutting burrs bring out more flavor than Grindmaster's crushing style?

But if the Grindmaster worked well and the seller took 100, it might be worth buying.

I have a grinder like these. Even says eight oclock on it. It works great. If those were local to me I'd buy them both.

I went with this one...meet the new member of the family:



It was more than the CL ones @ $350, but it came from an office that supposedly used it very infrequently. The seller claims "like new" condition and it looks like it, so I went for it.

I read all I could find about the crushing burrs of the GM vs the cutting burrs of the Bunn, from the Uber grinder to the Bunnzilla and ended up getting the Grindmaster.

I think part of my decision were the nostalgic memories of that Eight O'clock coffee I used to get from my local A&P store. That was my first climb out of the Maxwell House/Chock Full O'Nuts cans way back when. We'll see how it tastes.
