Agreed, this is a good burrset (if somewhat small). Even more expensive in
the UK from £80 ($137), where it's badged as Macinacaffe and Aerolatte.
Dosen't seem to produce much dust - maybe the slower 800 rpm helps here.
I can grind as fine as talc, but this means discarding the factory installed
'stop' set-screw and adjusting. Sadly this also nukes the warranty.
