The whole thread is a huge comparison!But in reality (and the great difficulty on a forum) as others have mentioned, is that many of the points of comparison are entirely subjective. I wanted a fast, quiet grinder and the ability to grind a bag of coffee for friends on occasion. I also have the room, so ended up with a big commercial. So my points of 'comparison' may be very different to yours. Others look for small, cheap, brightly coloured grinders with flashing lights and bluetooth for the bling factor. Not wrong - just not the same things I'm looking for.
In the end - if you can't find much here on the Anfirm or others, it maybe that they're new or untested, but if you like the look of it - buy one and do a test! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the new machine. It seems to be a recognised brand, so I don't think you'd get a lemon. There are lots of thoughts/reviews here on the M2, K3 and others in that mid range, as well as on the M4, Mini etc for the higher end consumer/semi-commercial range because they are tried & tested by many snobs over many years. If you get one of these - you can't go wrong.
For most - budget is the first clincher. So I'd sort what you're willing to spend (once you spend over about $300 you can't go too far wrong), look at what our sponsors offer (a pretty safe bet for a range of tried & tested quality product) then go with what you like the look of

Happy shopping!

. But does perform well. It replaced a Gaggia MDF so definitely an upgrade from there. My other home grinder is a Mini Mazzer. The MM looks heaps sexier but doesn't seem to perform any better. Kinda like Apple v PC. The Best performs well and might be a tad quicker than the Mazzer so if you don't mind the WRX looks then it's not a bad option IMO. Cheers, Daniel
