no offense Susan but you're a better man than I :-).
'tough old broad' ya mean?
It makes no sense to me; every day I am made aware of the stuff that I used to be able to do that I simply can't any more, so my strength really can't be so good. On the other hand, just maybe "easy" means something different to each of us? I dunno. I did have a hard time getting the Pharos to behave until I figured out how to get it not go jump around on the counter. In addition to the supplied counter pad and the non-slip rubber stuff, I use my left hand and forearm to hold the monster steady on the counter. Once those two things are done, then all I have to do (as Sam suggested a while back) is position the handle so that it gets a running start on the grind, and off we go. About 30 turns and ....I'm done.
I dunno. I just don't see that any of the complaints that were raised against the Pharos hold up under scrutiny, especially with the current iteration of it. I would imagine that people with early models might well have issues that have now been fixed/adjusted/improved upon.
But...what do I know?
I like it....what else matters, eh?
Susan
