Hello, I have had a QuickMill grinder for a while now. It was given to me by my father, and I believe he bought it sometime during the early 80's. I use it everyday along with my La Pavoni EuroBar (also given to me). My question is, how do I know if my grinder is doing the job it is supposed to be doing? What do I look for? How do I determine if it needs repair/maintenance? Finally, is this considered a "good" grinder? How does it stack up against modern equivalents?

Thanks,

The machine and grinder are both pictured below. Terrible picture of the grinder in question, but it has never been the focal point. A similar grinder can also be seen at the following link, https://www.etsy.com/listing/261160417/ ... d-electric
