I guess this keeps the beans fresh, but not having to refill it as often would be nice.- others have complained about the static burst of grinds that make a mess.

It ground the beans perfectly

If the unit isn't working, the first thing to do in troubleshooting is to be super-certain cracked beans aren't stuckin the groove/slot that accepts the slide-on top (the rectangular piece that covers the area holding the

If you are grinding an oiler bean or are grinding with a larger particulate size, you'll find that the opening to the grinder itself is easy to block because of the way that the coffee is ground and falls into the hopper from the chute.

Also, we love the aroma and taste of fresh ground coffee beans

I hate to do that, but I'm frustrated by how frequently is doesn't work as it should
