- not too large, but too small.. i shopped for a burr grinder for a while before i opted for this one because the reviews i read were saying that the machine was grinding too large, which seemed perfect, since i was looking for a burr grinder for my french press.. i consider myself somewhat of a coffee purist, and my blade grinder just didnt fill the bill for the press, since the finished product was terribly inconsistent.. so, my thought was that if the grind was too large(for some people) on the small end of the scale, than the grind ought to be just right for my purposes..
well i got the thing home, and set it up.. i set the grinder to the most course grind, and hit the button.. well, the finished product was too small for my liking.. it would be just perfect if i was using a perculator, but was too fine for the press.. there were too many fines amongst the ground beans, as well, leaving a sludge at the bottom of my vessel when i got there..
i saw on the reviews that said the machine can be disassembled, adjusted and reassembled to make the grind smaller, so i think il'll be attempting the modification in reverse.. i only need it to be a bit more course..
as for the machine itself, the it is more than twice the size of my blade grinder..
it does take some trial and error to get the amount that is ground "set" right..
yes, there is a bit of static to deal with, but that is to be expected with any grinder..

- Good purchaseI made the mod specified in one of the reviews. The grinder works very good and it is very practical. I recommend it.

- Great CoffeeThis is absolutely the best way to make fresh coffee. It is easy to use, and the adjustments in the grind are easy and precise. The ground coffe is easy to pour in the coffee press from the removable container, and easy to rinse out afterward. No more "old" coffee; make it fresh for any number of cups just by dialing. Best with a "French" press coffee maker, but will work with anything. I had used a blade-type grinder before, but the burr-type is so much better, and easier to use.

- Great additionThis burr grinder works great. My only complaint would be the size of the coffee been container. I didn't realize how fast you go through whole beans make 6 cups of coffee per brew.

- Good product for its priceJust started grinding my own beans a month or so ago and fastly fell love with my fresh brew. The grinder is really easy to operate, puch the start and it grinds to the number of cups selected 1-12. Holds probabaly about 24 to 30 cups of coffee in whole beans. Easy to clean.
Good product and have started using a variety of beans - nice for a change of pace.
