We had a Delonghi Dedica for several years, and when our stand-alone burr grinder stopped working, we decided to upgrade to this model.  It is a bit pricey, but still significantly less than most comparable models and worth every penny.  The design is quite nice--I especially love the built-in tamper which eliminates messy grounds on the countertop, and the analog dials and pressure gauge create a pleasing traditional look. 

Overall, it's very easy to use, but I do recommend careful reading of the manuals in the beginning as there is somewhat of a learning curve.  Attention to the coffee bean chart in the small color manual is very helpful in setting the proper dosage and grind level for different types of beans. With those settings just right, even inexpensive beans like 8 O'Clock produce delicious espresso.
