I received this grinder a couple of weeks ago and, so far, it has done a good job of grinding me fresh coffee. After a few test batches, I was able to get the grind/volume dialed in and that has been great. It is also much quieter than I expected. Two areas of improvement are that the hopper is not very large. I can only fit about 1/2 Lb of beans in at a time. I have also noticed that the hopper can get clogged sometimes, so you have to keep an eye on it as it grinds.
My husband and I both love this coffee bean grinder. I finally had enough of the daily task of grinding small amounts of beans at a time. We go through a lot of coffee and it was frustrating to open my canister of ground coffee when I wanted to make a pot or set it up the night before to auto-brew in the morning, only to find it empty! This grinder is fast, efficient and I can grind larger quantities at a time. In fact, I rarely have to grind beans at all now because my husband treats it like a new toy and loves being the bean grinder, haha!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a month ago, works well. Quieter than expected. I like the separate grind size setting and number of cups setting. So far it actually is anti-statice.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: 1. It doesn't overheat and shut down, or need "rest periods." 2. It's fast. 3. It does a truly very good job of grinding beans to fine powder. 4. It's easy to clean.
Cons:
1. You can't walk away from it for a minute, because every 15 seconds or so it just stops pulling beans into the grinding chamber. I stand at the unit and swirl the beans around nonstop to keep the unit functioning. Makes it mighty hard to get anything else done. 2. It's jet-engine loud, which is bad on its own but all the worse since you have to stand over the unit and continually feed beans into the grinding chamber. 3. While I don't know whether the number selection for grind size (coarse, fine, etc.) is beneficial or accurate, the selection for number of cups has no effect at all.
