I got this coffee grinder just as I needed to grind more coffee.  I was able to use is and my old one to compare.  They ground the coffee the same but the Hamilton Beach grinder had a few other features the the other one didn’t.  The cord has a place to store it. The grinder blades come unattached from the base, making it much easier to clean.  I also tried grinding peppercorns.  It did a good job, just as good as a pepper mill.
