I love this grinder because it’s so quiet! This coffee bean grinder is the greatest. It reduced clutter on my countertop, simplified and reduced the steps necessary to make a pot of coffee, is very adjustable and easy to use, and makes my coffee taste better! I replaced a Braun blade grinder, which finally gave out. My old setup required an extra cannister on the counter to hold the beans. It required extra steps to measure out the beans into the grinder and close the bean cannister. Now I just push one button and the proper amount of coffee I like for one pot is evenly ground into a stainess steel cup. The stainless steel cup is MUCH better than the plastic ones most other grinders use. The grind is much more even and uniform than my blade grinder, making my coffee taste better. The coffee bean holder on this is a heavy duty dark plastic, so no UV light to harm the beans awaiting grinding. HIGHLY recommend this coffee grinder.
