Every time you pull the container out with your ground-coffee, it somehow shoot out the top of the front a bit and leave a significant mess behind.

You make a minimal mess when you dump the "Coffee Powder" from the powder container to your sealed storage container.

Really not worth the mess that it makes.

It's really difficult to get all the little grounds out of the machine after, which exacerbates the mess on the next grind.

It produces a significant amount of fine dust is produced, there is a lot of residual grinds that remain in the unit after each use creating a counter top mess after each use.

Havent had any coffee grind messes like with our other one

As others have said the static buildup the grounds acquire creates a significant mess

My biggest pet peeve of this thing is the mess

I havn't seen the trail of ground coffee mess that other reviewers have

’s gonna be messy...but the mess isn’t that bad and the static is far from the worst I have seen, but there is is quite a bit of it

A couple drops of water in the beans helps a lot with static reduction and less mess.

The grinder is a little noisy and you can make a little mess while cleaning

Havent had any coffee grind messes like with our other one

But the mess it makes because of static electricity is NO joke

When you pull it out after grinding it sends grinds everywhere and creates an annoying mess.

The grind is somewhat inconsistent, but the mess is awful

The amount of static that the grinder generates makes it so you always have a mess of grinds to clean up around the grinder and you lose a lot of grinds when pouring into your filter, again due to static.

And cleaning it is not easy, it makes a mess

Even when I'm being super careful, the machine still makes a pretty good mess.

The grounds bin is hard to get out have to use 2 hands and it makes a mess removing the lid and dumping into a pot.

Cons (*not big enough to not buy)-It makes a mess, when trying to empty the grinds it

I haven’t had to clean up a mess of coffee grounds even after 30 days

Typically, I don't have 20 minutes to wait, so I have to clean up a mess every time I grind coffee

There were some that didn’t like the “mess” from static of the plastic catch bin

This is horrible, believe all of the reviews that say the coffee clings to the grinder and makes an awful mess, I tried all the suggestions they do not fix the problem

The mess gets even worse

The most frustrating issue with this machine is the mess

The OXO is more expensive but is quiet and does not make a mess while grinding and the static charge is dissipated.

The major issue is the huge mess the grinder makes.

So, if you don't secure the catch cup it makes a mess
