I wanted to switch from a blade grinder to a conical burr grinder for more consistency in my grinds. This unit is great. Having the glass grounds container helps with the static issue many complain about with grinders that have a plastic container.
The only issue I have that kept this unit from getting 5 stars was the "soft touch" plastic coating on the hopper lid and body of the grinder. It had deteriorated from new condition and was now quick sticky to touch. It makes no difference to me as I put the unit against the wall and don't need to touch it other than the control knobs and buttons which do not have this coating. So I only come into contact with the sticky issue when handling the coffee hopper lid.
This is a trade off I feel fine about since the grinder is new and half the price of a "currently" new one.
It's a well designed burr grinder: no static in the grind glass holder. Round glass shape makes for an accurate pour into the filters. A bit on the noisy side, but only for 20 secs!
This is really a GREAT product. It not only grinds perfectly, but the airtight top keeps the beans fresh!
I would recommend this to anyone looking to grind your own beans and have a cup of yummyliciousness!
