It also has 2 advantages compared to my previous grinder: 1) this machine is much quieter, and 2) the plastic grinding chamber which collects the coffee grounds has an anti-static feature which prevents coffee grounds from clinging to it

This grinder appears to work as it should but the motor will surely outlast the cheap plastic parts

Second, the plastic collection container is made of low-static plastic, so no "flyaway" coffee grounds clinging to the sides that require brushing to remove (and invariably spill on the kitchen counter)

Anti-static plastic, real metal grinder perfect

Rather than buy replacement blades and find out that they had adjusted the measurements over the years, given the age of my machine and the scratched plastic receptacle, I decided to shop around.

Furthermore, the biggest problem with the Mr. Coffee grinder was the poor quality where about every one to two years the plastic around the burr grinder would crack and break dumping a ton of coffee down through the bottom of the grinder - very messy.

(Not sure it even rates a 2 to be truthful due to the poor quality plastic it is built with. )

The plastic is as advertised / no problem with coffee sticking to plastic and creating a mess

but it’s chief fault for me is that it isn’t marked as to fine or coarse but is instead marked with which way you are brewing from espresso to French press —except for

I do not recommend this grinder as it seems unsafe and not as described.(revised)After writing review the seller made contact with me and offered to correct the issue with the defective device

It works as it should and creates an excellent fine grind for espresso (I use the finest grind setting for espresso)

Not nearly as loud as our old

By adding a stainless steel permanent filter to the Coffee Maker, that drains from the bottom as well as the sides, I improved the taste of the coffee by at least 25%.Don’t bother if you use sugar or those sugary creamers like my Mom uses… you will never be able to discern the difference.

It’s a tad noisy (c’mon, it’s grinding!), but nothing compared to other grinders
