    • I was at a fancy resort and had the best cup of coffee ever!
    • Like most other people here, after a few grinds the removable cup becomes fused to the base
    • The stainless cup on this does an excellent job of not producing static

    • What i love about it is that after you grind the beans, you can take the cup out, and pour the grounds out.

    • Warm, happy anticipation of a hot cup of fresh coffee soon gives way to a simmering, caffeine deprived rage at the sight of whole beans riding merrily around the grinding cup like round faced children on a midway carousel
    • The "removable" cup is almost impossible to get out.
    • Well worth the money, grinds up to 16 cups of coffee (bean volume) at a time, and as little at 2 cups if desired.
    • The beans still fly out the side and once you take the top off the grounds are all over your counter space, then you gotta clean the top, the grind cup, and the machine itself... just for 2 cups of coffee

    • Works Great - Love the removable cup - any coffee grinds we don't use we can just cover up and use the next day.
    • It seems the seal isn’t as tight as it should be .. many times the grinds overflow the cup even when half full
    • This grinds super well, is super quick, and I love how the cup comes out to easily dump it into my coffee maker, instead of clumsily trying to dump upside down the whole unit like the cheaper model my roommate had.
    • The newer version has a small gap between the plastic top and the stainless steel grinding cup allowing lots of coffee grounds to escape while grinding.

    • Produced coffee "gravel" of all grades and sizes, making for a mediocre cup of joe, at best
    • If you wanted something professional quality you'd have to pay a lot more than this little guy, but i like how the top CUP is removable, so you're not having to pick up the entire grinder to empty it.
    • I really like the removable cup; beats other models where you have to pick up the whole machine to pour the grinds out.

    • Like most other people here, after a few grinds the removable cup becomes fused to the base

    • So we bought a second one, and this time, the cup was difficult to remove right from the start.
    • We loved the removable stainless cup, but it did tend to throw the powder out of the cup.
    • This powerful grinder will pulverize your coffee beans into the finest expresso grain, making for a strong cup of coffee if that is your stlye.
    • The cup is easy to clean but some grounds usually manage to get in the bottom portion where the motor is
    • I love the removable cup for cleaning and keeping items
    • The second two layers are completely worthless for brewing a good cup of coffee
    • About two years before that, the mechanism underneath the stainless steel cup became dislodged.
    • I will probably continue trying to use the unit until it dies from here on, since I cannot remove the cup to clean out the coffee grounds from underneath, where it attaches to the main unit.
    • Extremely wasteful of coffee (I scoop it off the counter and try to save it) and even grinding one cup with half the amount of allowed beans still requires full kitchen cleanup -- mopping grinds from the equipment, the counter, the floor

    • the cup is more shallowWould not recommend

    • The removable stainless steel cup and plastic grinder cover are made with heavy gauge material, and the motor, although it emanates disturbing odors after relatively mild use, has held up well for several years (although I use it infrequently for reasons mentioned in original review).
    • Removable cup stuck to base, and vibrates noisily if I try to run it
    • The cup is also very difficult to seat and remove
    • The thing I love the most about it are the measure marks on the side of the stainless cup and the fact that the cup twists off!
    • The stainless cup is now stuck on the unit
    • This grinder performs efficiently, it grinds a cup of beans fairly quickly, though you have to manually monitor the grind to get the size you want.
    • The removable cup is genius, makes getting the grinds into the coffee filter super easy
    • I've not had any issues with whole beans or partial beans with mine, but I only grind about six cups at a time, maybe that's the difference
    • I have cleaned my stainless cup to no avail and the unit itself
    • Cord tucks in back of unit and grinds a perfect cup of coffee.

    • I've loved the fact that you can remove the little grinder cup, and that it came with a lid for it, since I grind a few days worth at a time - then I can take just the cup with me when I travel or put it in the fridge to keep the coffee fresh.
    • The removeable stainless cup is THE BEST part about this item, and now I have a spare!The reason I am so in love with this grinder has nothing to do with how perfect the coffee grounds

    • I had earlier problems with the original, which were supposed to have been solved by a replacement stainless steel cup
