Is it good for espresso?

Only marginally. The stepped adjustment is too coarse for dialing in espresso, so it suits drip, pour-over and French press better.

How does it compare with a blade grinder?

Burrs crush beans to a more consistent size than blades, which chop unevenly. Expect more even extraction and less dust in the cup.

Yes. It has adjustable grind settings, but the steps are broad, so fine changes between settings are limited.

The hopper sits on top of the burr chamber. It holds a modest amount of beans, so large batches need refilling.

The body is black plastic with a burr grinding mechanism inside. It is lighter than metal-bodied grinders.
