My only reason for not giving this 5 stars are some design issues I find curious. The first is you are not able to see the bean supply without removing the lid. My old Cuisinart grinder had a clear bean bin that made it easy to monitor the level. My second issue is that I have to reset the number of cups every time. The default setting is to grind 14 cups; I have to set it for 10 every morning. My former Cuisinart grinder allowed me to set the grind volume once. This grinder also indicates the amount of time remaining in the grind--interesting data, I guess, but who cares? The issue is number of cups, not time remaining. Other than these design issues, I like this grinder. It looks nice and does a good job. I've only had it a few weeks, so can't speak to its longevity.
