I see many complain about static and loose grounds spilling on the

Pros, compared to the Cuisinart: quieter operation; better contained bin; better range of grinds (coarse is coarser, albeit with fine grounds included); more compact design; smoke-colored plastic so the clinging grinds aren't as visible; slightly shorter grind time; emptying grounds is not quite as messy

When the top of the bin is taken off, the static makes finer grounds go flying almost a foot in every direction

Fresh grounds make a big difference in the quality, and his grinder puts out a very consistent grind

I called for a solution as to how to clean out old grounds from the burr metal

Gets the grounds super fine and consistent for my espresso and more coarse for my French press

it works, but it is very messy and not convenient to use at all...grounds are everywhere all the time

Its fine, I live in Miami, I know coffee, don't even need the finest adjustment to get good grounds for a cortadito

It also took a bit to learn how to empty the fresh grounds into the coffee maker without a mess.

I now use a Shark or computer vac, but while it does remove unwanted grounds in the machine, it is a major hassle

(you will not get coarse or fine grounds from this)Difficult to clean

Delicious and Freshly Ground for the coffee enthusiasts!

Does grind fairly consistent grounds and operation is straight forward

The bin also seems to build up a lot of static during use, causing the finer grounds to stick to the walls and increasing the likelihood of messes (as that stuff transfers to hands as you scoop while also making pouring

You also tend to end up with grounds in the latching assembly, which can prevent you from replacing the top grinding disc... or, worse, trap grounds until they go rancid

What's better, the fine grounds clump together in wads so the tamped puck has areas of varied density unless I mix it up before meting it out

The other thing is that I would actually like to have slightly more coarse grounds for certain applications

Because it means that every time you grind, you are going to end up with a mess as fine grounds that have become trapped behind the bin are spilled all over your counter

I broke the plastic grounds

The grounds are very inconsistent and don't look much better than a blade grinder

It also keeps the grounds fresh in between uses.

Not sure why the product details show a 4 cup minimum as I can grind as little as 24 g of coffee with a 2 cup setting on the grinder.
