I really liked the size, features and price of this grinder. The timer is very useful, the glass jar is a nice upgrade over plastic. However, after only a few days it stopped working. About 10 uses, 15 seconds each time. So it lasted less than two minutes. Seems like it could not handle the fine grind I was seeking. Replaced it with a Baratza Encore, a higher quality entry level burr grinder, but worth the extra money. The Bodum Bistro is a disappointment, especially since I now have to pay return shipping charges in order to get a refund. Live and learn.
