It's only been a few days since receipt of this item, but it is already clear that the coffee is better. I make French Press coffee, and there is significantly less sludge in the cup and the brew flavor is better. The unit is an attractive addition to the counter top and doesn't take up significantly more space than the former blade grinder. It is also relatively quiet, actually less noise than with the blade grinder. A nice bonus is that I have noticed almost no static issues with the grounds in the collection bowl. 

Pros: Quiet. Well made. Low static issues.
