Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bottom line: this is an average burr grinder that produces consistent quantity grind-to-grind but it is marred by a flawed grinding chamber design that makes a uniform mess when opened to remove ground coffee. Pros: * consistent quantity is produced grind-to-grind, * removing the grind chamber turns off the grinder, and * inexpensive. Cons: * inconsistent grind consistency that is typical of burr grinders (finicky coffee consumers should pursue conical models), * when the grind chamber is opened fine grounds that cling to the roof of the chamber fall out onto anything in the vicinity, and * limited grind fineness settings on the fine end of the range (may not get fine enough for some espresso beans or machines). Other appraisals: * the amount of ground coffee is measured in arbitrary "cup" units that the manual says are larger for coarser settings and smaller for finer; they're not really "cups" * the grind mechanism is made primarily of plastic (may not be reliable) * the power LED is glaring blue and is on anytime the grind chamber is fully inserted, leaving the chamber partially hanging out when not in use turns the LED off
