This is my 1st coffee grinder. It's burrtastic! Thank you to all the previous reviews which helped me come across this terrific Burr grinder. I was originally gonna get a Krups grinder in the assumption it's good and found out through Amazon reviews the one to get is this Capresso's burr grinder (terrific for expresso).I am very glad I chose this. It's very quiet, has lots of grind option settings and looks great too!Like other reviews have said, it is a little messy but not as bad I had imagined it to be.I have found quite a bit of left over grounded coffee in the lower burr chamber. I found if you tilt the grinder forward, with use of the brush, you can relatively easily get the remainder of the grinds out for use.I can't get over how fresh, great tasting my Starbucks iced latte came out. Just like Starbucks! Worth every penny!
