We love this new grinder! The saying "you don't miss what you never had" is so true. Did not realize how pitiful our old grinder was until out of necessity we had to get a new one. The same coffee beans taste so much better. No bitterness because of the many settings(takes a minute to find the just right one). No static eliminated the morning mess. Easy use and oh so quiet. One of our best purchases with anything coffee related. We love it. Thanks KitchenAid for getting it right every time!
