I agree with the 5 star reviews - tremendous improvement over my blade grinder. I use it for both a French Press and an automatic drip machine.One tip: I do not leave beans in the hopper. Instead I measure the beans into the hopper for each pot with a coffee scoop. It takes a few experiments, but this way I don't have to worry about the fickle switch or turning it off - just run it until all beans are ground. Then I just take the gound coffee and dump it into the press or the drip basket.
