Absolutely superb grinding skills- you can even choose your own type of grind and how many cups! These come in RED at Target and it is very fun.I thought there was something wrong with the cord, it was way too short, the other reviewer is right, it is tightly coiled along the base and can be pulled out with strength. I kept this grinder over another brand because it has the added feature of a pointed pour spout- it is sooo convenient to pour directly into your filter.
