It was time for me to upgrade to a better grinder and after pouring over (no pun intended) reviews on-line of all different brands, I decided to try the Q2 based on all praise that people were giving this product. I decided to order straight from the manufacturer based on price and availability of different colors available. Since I only make coffee for myself, the Q2 made the most sense in terms of volume. I didn’t need a grinder that makes more than one cup of coffee. The reviews said that the performance of the Q2 were right up there with more expensive models because of the design of the steel burrs. Once it arrived, and very quickly I might add, I tried it out and was amazed at how smooth the grinder performed. The quality is top notch and feels very solid. It has some weight to it which feels good in the hand and the ball bearings make grinding very easy. I tried it straight out of the box and I would say that the way it was set up would have no problem making espresso. The grounds were very uniform in size and it was able to make it really powdery, if that’s your thing. I make pour over coffee so it took me a while to select the proper grind personally. I’m still fine tuning the adjustment to suit my flavor profile though. I’m not a professional barista, but I would say that this product will suit your needs no matter what type of coffee you make. If you make more than one cup, you’ll need a bigger grinder for sure unless you don’t mind refilling it. But let’s face it, the grinding ritual is supposed to be fun and the Q2 delivers. It’s a pleasure to use, solid as hell and really smooth. I’m glad I made the purchase and I feel that it rivals it’s more expensive brethren. You won’t be disappointed. You don’t have to take my word for it, but at about $100 more or less, you have nothing to lose. This thing is great.
