If you are looking for a good, easy to operate, moderately priced grinder, this is a good one. Have had it a few months, and have had no problems with it. The grind is very easy to adjust. Its very simple to set the amount of coffee you want to grind, but does require some experimentation on your part. It tends to grind a little more than set for. If I want 6 cups, I usually set the amount on 4 cups, which will usually yield about 6 scoops. Experiment until you find the amount/strength that works for you. Set your grind, fill the hopper on top, and push the grind bar. When its done, it automatically shuts off. I like my coffee perked in an electric percolator, and have had problems in the past with grounds in my coffee. This grinder is not 100% even in it's grind, but I no longer have grounds in my coffee. All in all, I think 4 stars is a good rating for this product. With it's stainless trim, it looks good with my other stainless appliances. It's easy to use and I have had no real issues that would keep me from buying it again. For the price, it's a good, easy to use, nice looking product.
