Author Topic: La Spaziale grinder - unknown model - a steal? - a deal? ($135.00)  (Read 1280 times)

I Emailed the seller and this appears to be for real, and I think it may be a pretty good deal, but I don't know enough about grinders. If it is, I figure to buy it ...

Can anyone ID the grinder and say whether (assuming it's working) it's a decent buy or not? The seller has no information about model number or other photos, and there are a few other potential buyers, so seller apparently isn't spending much time on answering all questions, etc.

However, it's said to work. That's about as much as I know at this point.

Many thanks!

I haven't been able to find out much about this ... possibly a rebadged Macap? I'm thinking at this price I should get it if I can, but I know even less about grinders than about espresso machines, so I would be grateful for advice if anyone's got some.

(Like, say, "Buy MSFT at $2 a share, it's gonna go up when IBM brings out a PC.")

I noticed they misspelled the brand name of that grinder. If you're looking online for info, use "La Spaziale".  I don't know anything specific about that particular grinder but I'd say that just about any commercial grinder is going to be way better than any prosumer grinder you can get for $135.

Hope you're right! There just isn't much info "out there" (or in here, either, which surprised me a bit) about it, but unless something goes badly wrong it looks like I'll get it... we'll see.

Thanks!
