The grinder is awesome. The construction, despite the outside shell being made of plastic, is high quality. The mechanism is made fully of metal (I assume stainless steel) and can be disassembled for deep cleaning by fully twisting off the adjustment knob (reassembly may take a couple of attempts to do properly, as the disc with the notches in it has two possible orientations).
It has good adjustability with 90+ clicks, and covers the entire range of brewing methods. It grinds more than fine enough for espresso (even fine enough for Turkish coffee). I was able to pull a 1:2 ratio espresso shot in ~32 s. However, you will need to use WDT as the particle sizes aren't as consistent as with high-end grinders, so not distributing them in the portafilter may result in channeling and overextraction.
Having a plastic exterior, it produces a lot of static. Spraying the beans with a small amount of water before grinding helps a ton with the static and is more or less necessary.
Overall, it is incredible value and will work well for anybody like me, who wants to dip their toe into grinding good coffee without spending $150+. As I don't own a high-end coffee grinder, I'm not too sure how it compares in flavour to expensive options, but it's undoubtedly the best option <$50 and I'm very happy with it.
