Premium Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Grinder - 18 Custom Grind Settings for Espresso, Drip & French Press - Stainless Steel Silver - Perfect for Home & Office Coffee Brewing

So far so good after about a month of use!!! I actually really love this grinder and if it holds out for a few years, I will be very happy. I was surprised to find that I actually like it even better than my old Cuisinart, which was similar in design. Husband and I aren't exactly coffee connoisseurs, we don't do espresso and we only need it for drip, but we do love to buy the whole beans and grind at home. So I wouldn't really know if it grinds fine enough or just perfect for people who are coffee perfectionists! However, this grinder does a better job than my old Cuisinart. It used to leave a few big chunks of beans, this one grinds perfectly, at least perfectly enough for me. I guess I really don't care about what others are freaking out about if there is a little fine powder mixed in with course grounds. (So what?) My old Cuisinart cost about $15 more than this one and broke after just over a year. If this one works for at least a few years I will be thrilled.This grinder is extremely easy to use & I have zero mess.....which I really love! (Old Cuisinart used to spill some grounds behind the cup and had a little mess & spillage.) I love the little scoop that attaches to the lid of the cup. I don't use it often since I grind exactly what I need, but love that when I do need it it's right there attached and I don't have to remember I have it and search for it in a drawer.We don't make a full pot every day so the hopper holds enough beans for just over a week for us, which is really nice. Fill it up once and have one touch grinding all week. My husband likes the little blue light! haha.......the dial and light make it super fast and simple to change the amount you want to grind. We make bigger pots on the weekends.I love the one touch, no mess of this grinder. It looks nice on the counter and because there's no mess it stays looking neat and clean all week. Another thing I love is that the hopper screws out to clean. (A feature my Cuisinart didn't have so I could never really be sure it was clean down in the gears.)So quite a few reviewers are freaking out about the huge mess this makes all over their kitchen.....powder spewing...onto floors......?? I have no idea what they are doing or what they are talking about. I have a habit of taking out the bin with the grounds and lightly tapping it a couple of times on the counter to settle them. They pour out easily and no mess. As far as cleaning it, I just literally wash it once a week or so. How much mess can you possibly make by taking it to the sink and washing it?One small thing I did notice once when I did use the scoop. I ground enough for 8 cups, but when I used the scoop there were 10 scoops of grounds. It might be grinding a tad more than it's set for? That's ok...coffee is good, not too strong and I can always dial it down if I wanted.I looked and looked and looked at grinders. I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. I was frustrated that all of these grinders had bad reviews, but there was no way I was going to pay $80 - $200 for a grinder. Love this grinder and the price was perfect. ($36) So if it doesn't break on me I'll be taking another look at Mr. Coffee products next time I need anything coffee related.
