It's the machine for enthusiasts who've moved past \"good enough\" and want stable, repeatable results every session.

Given the price, we'd rather have a conversation before you buy to make sure it's the right machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a separate grinder?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and at this level you should be looking at $1,000+ for a grinder that does the machine justice.
