Yes BUT their motors are meant for grinding one or two pounds of beans at a time instead of an espresso shot or two. Since I brew 24 oz of pourover drip coffee every day, my Baratza grinds for a duration of around 30 sec - 1 minute to get 8 TBS of ground coffee depending on the bean and its roast.
For the espresso afficionado, a good espresso grinder for home use retails in the $5-600 range full retail.
