Over All Rating Reviews :

After the first use it was apparent this coffee bean grinder did not live up to its hype. The flip-up lid has to be held open to dispense the grounds or the top must be removed entirely and its not that easy to put back on when one is half awake. The blade takes up so much space in the bowl that its difficult to extract all the grounds with a scoop or spoon. The plastic device that "cleans" the bowl does nothing that I could not do with my finger. The grinder has to be unassembled in 3 parts to actually clean the bowl (remove the lid piece, remove the center piece, and wipe the bottom compartment). Its also not as quiet as the advertising would lead you to believe. I already own a GE model grinder that has is a lock-tite lid and a grinder bowl, which works just fine. The GE model also has a grind setting from coarse for percolators to fine for expresso. It also has an automatic switch that shuts the unit off. GE model cost $9.95 versus $30 plus for the Mr. Coffee model. Recommendation: Go with less expensive model and spend money on good coffee beans.
