Love my Lido-ET I got back in 2016. Finally broke her down the other week to clean up the bean hopper and anything else looking dirty, and I noticed the lower burr had taken some serious destruction to a few of its teeth. Two teeth had large chunks missing from their top-end side. Sure it still works just fine but the OCD side of me wants it replaced. To my surprise, the other half of the burr-set showed no sign of wear or damage.

Lido shots give you a nice, early morning arm work-out. Each cup I brew in the AeroPress requires about 120 turns of the grinder's handle, and thank java I am ambidextrous. Grinding coffee manually makes you appreciate your electric grinder that much more.
