Problems : * does not grind coffee very fine and leaves many whole beans * very limited volume for beans * top is not secure, and can fall off easily (mostly an issue for when taking it in and out of the cabinet) * broke after 4 months of 'weekend-only' use (the blade just fell off)

Great coffee chopper (no burrs so I won't call it a grinder.) The main difference between this and the other I've owned is that the chopped coffee doesn't get hot. In most others the coffee at the bottom of the chamber gets cooked by the friction of the blades. Cooked coffee means less flavor in the cup. I won't give up my burr grinder for this, but its very good for the office or when I am too lazy to clean out my burr grinder.

Terrible product; it has to be constantly shaken to obtain anything approaching a complete grind; usually I give up. We bought this to replace a Mr. Coffee grinder that broke after 10+ years of constant use. The first time I used the Bodum grinder I knew it was almost useless. It's stylish though. A complete waste of money...you get the picture now I hope.
