My husband and I received this grinder as a wedding gift. We had problems with it from the very beginning! We drink A LOT of coffee and it started to be very tempermental within the first few weeks. The finer we would grind the beans the more the lid and push button would become jammed. I cleaned and dusted it often but it continued to jam up. Then about six months later I put the beans in, put the top on, pressed the button and a peice of plastic flew off. The peice of plastic was from the push button which made it possible to make the machine work. It would no longer push down when the lid was placed on - therefore it no longer worked. I would not recommend this product for someone who drinks a lot of coffee. It may be OK for someone who isn't a serious coffee drinker but it seems to me it cannot handle heavy use.
