Nuova Simonelli Grinta grinder - mucho sucko

[grinderz]

Just a mini review of the doserless Nuova Simonelli Grinta as we recently got a new one at work (along with a new Oscar). 

Bottom line: two thumbs down. The FC+ beans our company buys comes out of it in mostly pea to acorn sized clumps. It's bad enough that 10 seconds of stirring with a paperclip only partially breaks them up. The other day the hopper went empty so I carried the grinder over to the garbage can and turned it upside down. The amount of grounds which came out after a few raps on the side was pretty impressive.

The only plus side that it has enough steps to be able to dial in a reasonable grind level.

This might be the first product review that made me laugh like that.

I take it you weren't on the procurement committee.

The good part is you work in a place where you can pull shots of halfway decent equipment, and still only have to shave once during the work week.

  Pretty cool, huh?

Should we start calling you Grizz?

Oh, I don't feel nearly old enough for that.

The Grinta is on par with Rocky & MDF grinders, not really intended for serious use. It's too bad whoever bought it didn't check its specs or read the right reviews.

I was hoping that your trip to the garbage can would involve a slip and the Grinta would be history. Suggest to your employers that they can sell the Grinta on CL and make enough to buy a much better grinder - Cunnil Tranquilo at $238.
