My Love and I were so excited about this beautiful machine, it looked smartly engineered, clean lines, quiet grinding, it featured a removable grind bowl with lid - amazing we thought.  We were so thrilled we bought 2! One for his place, one for mine. 

Within the first couple uses, we were taken aback by coffee grounds spilling all over the machine and the counter top. We thought: maybe we should read the manual. But no, design flaw. Turns out the bowl lid was not to be used while grinding which totally defeated the purpose we thought it was for: provide a clean experience by keeping the mess contained. I guess the lid is for storage bc there's really no other sensible use for it. 

Then within a couple weeks, one broke. Dead cold so we are down to one and wanting to get a refund for both at this point. I really wished this beautifully designed machine had the smarts to boot. 

My suggestion: preserve the design but take the functionality back to the drawing table.
