I bought this because I got tired of the little grinder with a shallow lid and not being able to get the amount or grind in the lid. I have to say I absolutely LOVE this Burr grinder. I mean I LOVE IT!!!!! It earned a space on my countertop and I use it every morning. I LOVE that I can set the number of cups I need, hit a button, and is 43 seconds I have the exact amount of coffee I need to make a GREAT pot of coffee to my liking. I love that you can program it and when it's unplugged it doesn't mess up what you programmed, works EVERY time. This is one of the BEST kitchen appliances I have ever purchased..nothing negative to say about it at all.
