What a difference a first-rate grinder makes: nothing tastes better than freshly ground coffee. Love the variety of settings. Only complaints: 1) The top doesn't provide a tight seal, so it's best to keep beans stored separately until you're ready to grind. 2) The grinder creates an incredible amount of static electricity, causing coffee grounds to fly everywhere! Haven't figured out how to minimize the mess, which extends across my entire kitchen counter from the wall to the sink. It's like a crazy science project. Gotta wipe down every surface within four feet when I open the canister after grinding.
