   I just got this and used it for the first time, so this is only my first impression. I’ll try to come back and update this review after some more time and usage. I’ll list a few weirdnesses/problems, from my first use:1. I selected 7 on the number-of-cups dial, as a cautious first try, to grind a batch of beans for making cold brew in an 8-cup French press. I poured in way more than enough beans in the intake hopper, or so I thought (I put in 2 very heaping tablespoons of beans per “cup”), and pressed the On button, assuming it would grind 7 cups’ worth of beans and stop with some still left in the hopper. I was surprised that it went through all the beans I’d put in the hopper, and was still going, when I had to shut it off because the hopper was empty.This was way way more than what I usually use, to make a fairly strong batch of cold brew in my 8-cup French press (typically I use maybe 2 level-not-heaping tablespoons of beans per “cup). The grounds filled the French press more than halfway, just with the grounds, before adding any water! and this was with the # cups set to 7 not even 8, and with having shut it off after it ran out of beans to grind. So something seems way off, in its idea of how much per “cup” on its the number-of-cups dial? I scooped out half of the grounds from the French press, to approximate how much I usually use to make a reasonable batch of “8 cups” of cold brew. So I guess I’ll have to set the number of cups way down to something like half (maybe 4?), on the grinder, of the number of cups given on the side of the French press, next time (i.e. 8)?[edited: used it again and set the number of cups to 6. This produced only a little more than I wanted, for the cold brew in the 8-cup French press (I scooped out the extra, enough to make a decently strong batch of hot brew in a separate 2-cup French press I have). Next time I’ll try setting it to 4 or 5 cups, and see if that matches my expectations, for how much I put in the 8-cup French press for a reasonably strong batch of cold crew.]2. I set the coarseness to something near the maximum, as shown in the instructions, past #10 and into the “swoosh” icon, since I’m making cold brew. When I ran the grinder, most of the output was satisfactorily coarse, but there was some fine powder, stuck to the side of the output container. Not too much fine powder, just a few clumps, but still disappointing; when I use a manual burr grinder on a coarse setting, I don’t get any fine powder like this.[edited: see uploaded photo of the output bin, showing some unwanted/unexpected very fine powder caked together near the top, above the expected/wanted coarse grind below]3. The instructions are a little confusing. At first I wasn’t sure about the “removable upper burr”, if it was needed or not, or if was optional, since it could be removed like the brush that’s stuck in it? the instructions don’t say you need the upper burr to be in place. Only at the end, in the “Maintenance” section, does it mention this upper burr, where it says to remove it for cleaning (so I guessed that meant you DO need it in place for grinding, if it expects you to remove it for cleaning).4. Cleanup is a little difficult, with the fine powder stuck to everything, even though I’d used the coarsest setting so I didn’t expect any such fine powder at all.My previous grinding experience, for reference: as I mentioned, nowadays I’m making cold brew, in a French press. Years ago (when I was using an Aeropress which wants finer grinds) I inherited an electric blade grinder, which can only produce very fine grind since it keeps slicing the same beans/grinds over and over.So once I began using the French press, and especially once I started making cold brew in it, I bought a manual ceramic burr grinder, a Kyocera (same as a Hario?) and used that for a while, OK but output is uneven, and there’s no lid, so it’s prone to spilling beans while I’m grinding, especially since sometimes it gets stuck on a bean in its craw and the handle jerks out of my hand, thereby rocking the whole thing so that some beans spill out. Then I got a Hario ceramic burr grinder, the high end super upgraded model with improved ceramic burr mechanism for more even output (?) and a lid to prevent beans from spilling out. Used that for a couple of years, until the ceramic burr got stuck on some beans and broke, the whole ceramic burr block split in half! Went back to the Kyocera for a while, again with no lid and uneven output. Then decided to try this electric Krupps burr grinder as a treat.

   They don’t do half stars and 4 is too low. I love this grinder. It’s easy to use and so quiet compared to the other two I’ve owned. I have control over pulse or continuous grind and for how long. It works great.The cons would be that a little bit of grounds get into the area under the grinding cup. But it’s not bad and I use a little brush to clean there and in the grinding cup. My other brand with the removable cup was way worse.The place to wrap and store the cord is a bit of a pain, but will probably get better when the cord isn’t so new.Side note: I did have an issue with the first one being shipped just in its original box, stuck in a thin plastic shipping bag. It had no protection and the box had some damage and the lid to the grinder was broke into several pieces. But Amazon replaced it with no hassle and I had my new one, packed correctly in a shipping box, within a couple days.

   Love, love, love, this grinder. My old grinder used to scare the daylights out of the household, animals included. I used to have to yell out “loud noise” as a warning! I have ground coffee late at night and no one hears the grinder working. It is bulkier than my last coffee grinder, and I do have to finger out the “finely ground” residue at the bottom of the grind cup, but, it’s worth it to not have to have a power tool sounding coffee bean grinder going off at odd hours, just when you forgot to grind beans for the morning pot of brew. I like that the “grinder cup” has a separate lid to keep “ground coffee” contained and fresh.

   I previously had a GE burr grinder, which lasted 10+ years. Soon after it failed, got a blade type grinder, which doesn’t guarantee consistent grain size. I noticed my espresso maker was having problem pushing water through the thin grind. So I picked this grinder for its brand and reviews. It is quieter than I expected. Slightly bigger than I wanted. Grain size is consistent and good for espresso. Static electricity is not a problem. Doesn’t shed grain over the counter. Just the regular maintenance (grinder spout cleaning time to time) and it will be good to go.

   like the fact that it is not as noisy as a blade coffee grinder and the coffee flavor was better compared to the glade grinder I used (a basic Mr. Coffee grinder). Worth the price. I was fortunate to buy it during a Black Friday promo. I think it is work it’s price. Blade grinders are cheaper in price but the results from burr grinders are better.

   The product gives a very good grind for the price. It’s also very easy to dissemble and clean. It has worked great for almost two years, and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. The plastic grounds catcher does pick up a lot of static. This is easy to over come by giving the container a few taps over the kitchen sink after your finished grinding.

   It works as expected. I like that it’s not too loud, and that the cup comes out to store the ground coffee. I wish it was a little taller so that it didn’t spill coffee dust over the inside, but that’s not too much of an issue. The lid sucks though, it fell and cracked right away, so just be extra gentle with it.

   This is my first Burr grinder and I love it! First, I am not a full blown coffee afficionado. I don’t weigh my coffee grounds or use a manual coffee brewer. But, I do buy quality beans from a regional roaster. Before I bought this grinder, I used one of those two bladed chop grinders. But, I wasn’t getting a consistent cup of coffee.So, I bought this coffee grinder. I primarily brew a single cup using a filter basket “pod” that I can put the freshly ground coffee into. I figured out how many tablespoons of whole beans I needed to get the perfect amount of grounds. I experimented with the coarseness of the grind until I got it dialed in.Now, I get a consistent, rich, perfect cup of coffee every time! This has been a fantastic upgrade for me.
