We purchased this coffee grinder because it appeared to be the same as the previous model we had and loved for 12 years.  It's just a little different.  The stainless removable cup is a little shorter and does not quite meet up with the top of the unit. We get a lot of ground coffee spilling over the top which makes a mess once you remove the top.  We love all our Cuisinart appliances, just wish that this was made the same as your previous model.
