Re: Buying a USED Mazzer SJ Grinder - advice pleas
I have to support what Attilio wrote above....
If you can buy a used SJ that is in good nick (verified either by yourself or someone you trust) then just buy it mate. Theres no need to go on with endless questions about its suitability... Its a fully commercial grade grinder made to a spec that includes a requirement for years of reliable service. In a home situation it will last you forever and to be quite honest, unless you are one of these people who happen to have a "Super Palate", then you would not be able to taste the difference between brews made from beans ground with this grinder or any other well known brand of commercial grinder.
Time for a decision I think, either buy a used SJ or a new MM.... Both will perform equally well in a domestic situation and the final decision should come down to one of appearance and ergonomics. It would be a different matter entirely if we were tossing up between a SB EM0480 and a Rancilio Rocky but were not comparing apples and oranges here, just apples of a different size and maybe colour. Go for it, make a decision and with either choice you will be happy with the outcome.... Guaranteed [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
