I received this as a gift, and still paid too much for it. February 7, 2004

Too bad there's not an option to give it zero stars, because that is what it deserves. This grinder does a very good job of uniformly grinding the coffee. Getting the ground coffee into the coffeemaker is another matter, however. Every time I use it the mess it leaves behind is incredible. Also, you have to jiggle it to get the beans to move down the hopper. I have better things to do in the morning than stand there jiggling my coffee grinder and sweeping up after it.

Don't go here January 28, 2004
I bought this grinder in a store because I was desperate for a new grinder and I was trying to save money. First of all, the mess is incredible! I've had burr grinders before (Capresso and Melita) and they are neat as a pin compared to this. Mess was everywhere. I'd take the container into my sink and tap it there but then when I'd try to get all the grinds out of the container they'd fly around the coffee maker and onto the counter and attach to anything nearby. I was dealing with it since I save at least $30. Then yesterday (less than a month after purchasing the product), 2 little black plastic tabs that hold the bean storage in place broke when I took it off to clean it. No way to fix them. I should have spent the money in the first place because now I'm out $20.

Great grinder January 26, 2004

If you are serious about your coffee, this grinder is for you. It's my first mill, and I like not having to guess if the coffee has been ground fine enough. Here, the coffee passes from the bean cup to the coffee cup, and you know it's perectly ground at your selected coarseness. If you want, you can even grind exactly the amount of coffee you need every time. I read many of the reviews on this mill saying that it's messy. All you need to do is tap it a bit after grinding, before removing the cup, and the most you'd have is a little coffee on the counter. That's a small nuisance compared to having a perfect cup every time.

Grind Extra Beans January 20, 2004
I purchased this grinder becuase of the ability to accurately change grind settings. While it does that, it has a major flaw. After the grinding takes place, there is so much static electricity in the grounds that some of the grounds are stuck to the sides of the plastic cup. It takes a spoon to get the beans out of the cup and into the filter. Pouring the grounds into the filter is a mesy process. I was never able to grind beans and transfer them to the filter without leaving a dirty countertop behind. The static electricity ony made the process harder since charged coffee grounds want to stick to everything they touch. I got in the process of grinding extra beans to make up for the spilled grounds. I was able to put up with the mess for about 3 weeks before I got frustrated and replaced it with a cheap blade-type grinder. Now my Black & Decker is retired to the closet waiting for the next garage sale.

Okay, but not for any real coffee lover January 15, 2004
It worked ok for a cheap burr grinder, but don't expect anything beyond that. Static build up is terrible. It takes longer to clean after each use (the chute for the coffee grounds clogs up) than it does to grind the beans. Considering all this I would recommend spending the money for a better grinder (Barista or Solis type class of grinder...) or if those are a bit pricey for your budget-- you might be better off with a simple blade grinder...
