I LOVE this coffee grinder! For years I used the pre-ground coffee and I started grinding my own earlier this year and I'll never go back to pre-ground! I have to have my coffee in the morning sometimes the afternoon so I appreciate a good cup!! I've owned 3 different manual grinders this year and this is by far the easiest and best one I've had! It's so simple to use a child could do it easily. Plus it's darn cute on your counter top!! I highly recommend this!
