Here's an Elektra grinder on eBay that my daughter is considering:
http://www.tinyurl.com/35m5bu. I don't know anything about their grinders
but I've always thought her Nivola made a decent shot. Does anyone have any
experience with this grinder?
At least this grinder would match her taste in espresso machines - BUTT
UGLY. It looks like a cross between a bubble-gum machine & my ol' college
roomie's bong.

Hello Robert,
Sorry for my personal honest opinion first.
Not suggest you to buy this Nivola.
1-It comes with a new grinding disc??
2-Hard to find a 2nd hand good working order grinder from reseller
(who is not a user).
3-How long the motor can still be served you??
Anyway, a good new grinder always serves their good owner who care
about their cleaning and random check at least 10-50 years.
My roaster's grinder has been serviced him over 50 years at least.
(don't forget it is for commercial use- heavy duty)
Best buy is Compak K-3 Elite, it is better than a Mazzer MINI, but a
lot cheaper.
Higher budget best choice K-10 Conical burrs, Don't compare with the
cheap Conical to this. Not in the same group.
Sorry, as I know, hard to find in U.S.
Then good choices for your machines which must surprise you choices:
1st-MACAP MXKR ***Conical Espresso Grinder with Stepless Adjustment USD
$795 free ship
2nd-Cimbali Junior Espresso Grinder USD$550 free ship
3rd-MACAP M4 Stepless Adjustment Espresso Grinder (Chrome color) USD
$479 free ship
4th-MACAP MC4 Doserless Grinder (Chrome Stepless Adjustment) USD$459
free ship
5th-The NEW SHORTER Mazzer Mini Espresso Grinder USD$495 free ship
Hope this help...THANKS.

No experience with the grinder, sorry (although a friend has the Nivola &
likes it)- but I wonder if a doser grinder would mean stale coffee? I could
never see the point in a doser for home use, I prefer to grind my coffee &
use it immediately. Ccould it be converted to doserless?
I see it originally retailed for $999. That's expensive, even if it were
pretty, which it ain't. Seems a funny mix of commercial (size of motor
housing) & domestic (size of hopper). Not a criticism, merely an
observation. Your daughter might score a bargain.
