I unboxed the coffee grinder and immediately noticed the sleek design. I read the instructions and got out my whole bean coffee. The cord is hidden in a pull down storage compartment on the base.  I love how the lid is also a measuring cup. I told my son to get ready for some noise because I was going to be grinding coffee (my old grinder is very loud.) It was so quiet and fast that I hardly realized that I had used it. WOW! Best feature of all is the blade cup...it lifts out of the grinder and can be washed completely, dried and replaced. All around I give this small appliance a 5 star rating. I've been using it every day since it was delivered and I hope to be using it for years to come.
