Good, basic grinder. Not fancy, but very easy to use. This is our 2nd Cuisinart coffee grinder. The 1st is still functioning after a decade or so, but we wanted an inexpensive backup. Actually, our original grinder is better for 2 reasons. First, since it's black, it doesn't show coffee grounds as much as the new white one, and therefore is easier to keep clean. Second, the grinding lid on the new one is slightly looser than it is on the older model. I haven't noticed any significant difference in functionality. But simply moving the new grinder from the countertop to the cupboard isn't quite as easy because of the loose lid. Otherwise, it would have gotten 5 stars.
