I had been researching grinders and this popped up. $20 bucks cheaper than other outlets and Costco's return policy makes it a no brainer for me.

Good enough for espresso? Got a Capresso burr grinder, and not very impressed with espresso
You can always spray your beans with a tiny bit of water before pouring them into the hopper to reduce static.

If you don't want to weigh each time, weigh out a fixed number of scoops and memorize that weight.

The plastic hopper and plastic bin both have acquired a crack but are still going strong. I typically grind medium roast beans which are rarely oily and makes cleaning easier. The timer dial is like a mechanical egg timer. Once turned it will keep running until it hits zero or you can force it to zero if you are done. You can also just slightly turn it to run while you apply pressure.
Conical grinder is the same in all versions. I usually keep the grinds within the 4 "medium" bars for pour overs which are in the 50-75% range. Pretty consistent with slight chips and powder. I can't imagine going into the fine and extra fine ranges which would be good for espresso or Turkish press.
Baratza, on the other hand, makes pretty much every replacement part easily and cheaply purchasable on their website, along with providing instruction guides for repairs and upgrades. And I've owned it longer than I did the Capresso and it's still going strong with no failures.
