Regardless of grind setting it spits out chuncks of bean 1/8 inch or larger as part of grind. No consistency and NO fine grind (for those who think I am unable to read directions, I do have a Masters in Physics!). Observing the effect of the 1 - 9 grind setting feature indicates it has NO effect on distance between the burr top or bottom burr grinder heads so there is no way it will change grind (perhaps mine is defective). Get better and more uniform grind using my old blade grinder with much less fuss and mess. from Amazon.com Yeah, it's a bit quieter than most burr grinders, but like other users I'm using it at its "finest" grind, and the pieces are random in size, ranging up to an enormous 1/4". If you looked at the ragged output you wouldn't think of this as a burr grinder. from Amazon.com the capresso is a great machine. the set up and use of the machine is simple and quite convenient. from Amazon.com I bought this grinder for my wife who likes extra fine grind and she was tired of holding the button on our current burr grinder and wanted an automatic shutoff. The straight-through sounded good as our current Salton grinder would accumulate grinds on the side shoot and had to be cleaned regularly. from Amazon.com I bought this grinder from my local coffee house on the recommendation of several of the employees at the shop. I've had it for almost 6 months and I couldn't be happier. I have used several other burr grinders, all of which have produced far more coffee dust than I would like. I use a press pot, so I use fairly coarse grinds, and the consistency of the grinds from this machine are perfect. from Amazon.com Sad! You might as well have a $19 blade grinder. After dropping it off at the post office we went to Starbucks and bought their burr grinder for $88. Much as I dislike supporting any chain store, we are relieved to have a grinder that simply works. from Amazon.com I was in the market for a mid-priced burr grinder (way better than blade) and after trying the Bodum Antigua and Cuisinart Supreme Grind, I chose the Capresso for it's reputation, reliability and value. The Capresso grinder failed to grind all the beans in the hopper, doesn't have a manual stop button (unless you pull the top off the hopper while the grinder is in action...thoughtless design) and produced a fine coffee dust all over my countertop during operation. from Amazon.com pros: quiet, good bean capacity cons: omg the static cling, can't get french press coarse from Shopping.com worked great on french press and drip coffee...but where the grind actually counts, on espresso, it sucked. from Amazon.com A Chicagoan, I also love Portland's Stumptown coffees and finally found the perfect way to grind and enjoy the perfect bean. It took me one minute to set this unit up, and it hasn't let me down once. from Amazon.com
