Jeez - another thing. Consider in the mix, besides the cosmetics of machine height or color and cord location, the doser and auto-timer options.

Doser is good for espresso, but only when you're making at least three or four at a time. Otherwise, it is in ther way and one more thing to keep clean. I like a doser given that I make a lot of espresso but many people find them inconvenient.

The on/off timer is something I never have used. If you're tending to make a pot of coffee in the same machine, regularly, I can see where a timer would be a good thing. Turn it on and it shoots out a measured amount of grind, just right for your Teknikalkworm basket, and then shuts itself off. No waste - no minding the button while you're running the water or flipping the bacon or telling Jane, over and over, how much you appreciate the new grinder with the timer on it.
