(+) the Graef CM 70 has the same tapered roller mill as their larger, more expensive sisters CM 80/800/90 etc. and therefore provides the same excellent, finely metered grinding for espresso and filter coffee. (+) Who with his - often expensive - will achieve the best results espresso machine is so well served and saves money. (+) Even with a simple stove pot for 20 euros can thus achieve remarkably good results in flavor that can be beat with expensive machines hardly! (-) For the relatively low price you have to give to the - albeit high quality - resign plastic case and without the nice toggle the big sisters. (The plastic balcony at the new CM 800, however, is not for everyone and thing). (+) Through the plastic body the sound of the mill is actually better damped, it is not hot and is in continuous operation no weaknesses. Conclusion: ***** Highly Recommended
