Title: Two out-of-the-box-failures in a row!
Product review: Reading reasonable reviews, I decided to take the plunge and bought a Baratza Maestro. The first grind of espresso beans went well and delivered promising results.The second grind was set coarser for a french press and, halfway through the grind, the drive shaft spun or gears stripped or the reduction cluster lunched. Anyway the thing packed up.The nice people at Baratza put one in shipment to replace and I sent the old one back. Hey, accidents happen, right?Repeat. Second grind, no fooling around, commercial beans and the transmission went "blooey".I shall wait to see what happens next.In the meantime, you might want to search out some alternatives.
