is this grinder good for expresso

Yes, No, Yes. It produces something a little bit finer than granulated sugar. Which is as good as most store coffee grinders. And lots of people use that as espresso grind. Personally, I like my espresso grounds to be finer than that. And I got this machine exactly for that reason: It is hackable, and after lifting the bottom burr by 0.12mm (adding an aluminum shim underneath) it now does consistently fine powder.

Is the grinder hands free

Yes it totally is hands free. You can set the grind and number of cups you want and then press a button. Your fresh grounds go into the clear hopper. Hope this helps. : D

Does the hopper keep the beans fresh? Is it air tight?

No, the hopper is not air tight. But, once you open a bag of coffee beans, that is not air tight either. This should not influence your decision. It is a very good burr mill, well worth the $$$$$.
