As I've said before it is extremely quiet, FAST (with 4 oz. beans in the small hopper it takes precisely 3.0 seconds to grind 18g of medium roast coffee). THREE seconds! It has 75mm flat burrs which are well aligned from the get go. It has a counter for both single shots & double shots, a manual button that you press if you want to bypass the timed doses. Plus a LIGHT that shines into the center of the portafilter basket. I swear, I wish more folks would talk about the light. You wouldn't think you would need a light, but once you work with a grinder with a spotlight on the basket, it seems odd to imagine a grinder without one.

The grounds are FLUFFY and the grinder is very easy to clean.

I have the Chrome one, which is $100 more than the black, white or red. They are readily available to order too. Note: Some places sell them with the smaller hopper as standard and others sell them with the tall hopper. Clive Coffee, where I bought mine sells the Atom 75 with the short hopper, so make sure which hopper you're getting. Also, I've tried single dosing and do not recommend it for that.
