Does this grinder have conical burrs?

Yes it does. I think it is prcision and can control fine granularity. I am satified.

Yes it does. It outputs very consistent sized grains with minimal effort and has well graduated adjustments.

No but it does 90% of what a burr grinder does for way less money and takes up less room!

Its hard to say as I havent measured them. however I do believe a design change has occurred but not certain.I replaced mine with Vario and are much happier with Grind quality and build to be honest.

It does but the grinds become very inconsistent past a medium grind. There is just too much free movement in the grinding mechanism past medium. Anything smaller is fantastic, use it for my espresso daily.

Yes, there are 2 blades on an axel built into the cup. There are 5 settings for coarseness, and is more consistent than my old Cuisinart grinder. Love it.

Yes, it is adjustable from very fine to very coarse. The old model adjusted with the finial nut on top which had to be readjusted each time it was refilled. This new model the adjustment is on the bottom and does not change until you manually turn the dial; a real improvement over the old one. My initial grinder was purchased over twenty five years ago and has been used heavily in a restaurant kitchen daily. This model also has the added benefit of building strong wrists. It's a bit of a tough turn but once you get it going the it really produces.

It has a conical burr that is some kind of grey stone. Mine cracked at a little part of the burr (where it attaches to the 'drive shaft') and a little flake broke off and got caught in the grind. I fished it out and it works fine. You can set the grind however you want, I do coarse and the mechanism locks in place so the grind is consistent. Hope his help!

We've been using this type of grinder for years. It does a great job, but I'm not sure I could ever tell any difference between this and a burr grinder.

Yes it does. If you do buy this one be sure to follow the tips about filing the sharp edges. I followed the tips and I am glad I did, I used a fine metal file and then fine sand paper just to make there ther were no sharp edges. This stuffer works very well compare to using the auger attachment on my grinder. Good luck

Yes. The instructions show you have to remove the upper burr for cleaning. You can brush the lower burr with the supplied brush. I also use a can of compressed air to blow out the chute and burrs. The whole grinder can be dissasembled and burrs replaced if they wear out. There are even instructions for calibrating it finer than it originally ships (see the video on u-toob). It is made to be easialy taken apart and adjusted and repaired.

Yes, it has an "air tight 8oz bean hopper" according to the box. I still leave mine beans in the pack because there are no rubber seals in that "air tight hopper"... and the air can escape through the plates... So not really air tight... and not a conical burr grinder either. This is flat plate.

No its very similar to a flat grind. This knife is awesome. One of the smoothest knives I own.

Yes, grind can be adjusted on both with center knob at the top. I am still happy with this purchase.

I did not find it to grind consistsnty. Too much variation per batch. This was not my experience with it's previous model. I retired the new one and got the Japenese hand crank conical burr. From Hario $42. Beautiful grind. Slow. Take the Zen Approach!

It has a very smooth finish. The one I ordered has no burrs on it at all and works like a champ.

we purchased the black unit, but I'm reasonably sure the stainless is not mock. Regardless I have owned several burr grinders and for the money, this is the best I've used.

Not sure actually. I can tell you that this particular grinder is high quality. Heavy metal, solid construction and works as promised. Good luck!!
