thanks in advance. a friend of mine found this grinder, but doesnt know make or model of it, neither does the owner, and he's away for a couple days. i tried a fast and filthy grinder photo search, but didnt turn up anything. owner says it works, methinks its worth $75, but i'd like to know what i'm getting into before i get into it... knowwhutamean?

That's a ROSSI RR45.
Hope i could help.
I think the price is fair aslong as the burrs run true.

best,
Michael

Perhaps the most common grinder there is. Performance is similar to Mazzer SJ, I think its stepped though. At $75 it can't hurt. Availability of Rossi burrs is questionable though, since the company went bankrupt.
