I baiscally bought this one to replace the previous cusiniart coffee grinder I had for the past 15 years. Sadly, I like my older one than this one, but the new one works very well and does the job it’s designed to perform! My old one the grinding cup was removable and was easy to grind and then poor the ground coffee into the coffee maker. This one the grinding cup is imbedded inside of the whole grinder and you have to pick up the whole unit. I liked the old one for ease of clean up too, not that they get that dirty. The older one was all stainless steel, the new one is mostly plactic.
