However, operationally, it is a mess each time a load was ground and tried to be removed.

This was my first electric coffee grinder and I have to say, the beans get ground evenly every time and saves me so much more time than manually grinding.

I loved this product the first 10 times I used it

I used it 4 times and ground 25g of coffee each time

I've had it for a few months and it still has a new plastic/electric smell every time I use it, but it hasn't affected my coffee

That thing survived cross-country moves, daily grinding - sometimes multiple times per day

Worked great the first time.

It makes a mess every time.

This time however, it did not work the next day

2nd time, it worked for not even 2 seconds.

It went like this the entire time I ground my bean

The issue both times has been the same thing - the switch to power the blade will stop working

For my needs, it does the trick every time.

The start button doesn't always work the first time I press it

It stops working all the time

a thin plastic key that enables the grinding process to start can break any time

I've been grinding coffee beans almost every day, sometimes multiple times a day, for 10 years - it's been through 5 moves, and sometimes it has ground tea, hard spices, bread crumbs

Grounds go everywhere, creating a mess every time

Longer means a finer grind, less time for drip etc...

I used this thing four times before it stopped working

WITH* to get it to coarsely grind 2 cups of coffee almost every time
