Worth the money I paid for it
Rating: 
There aren't many things that I enjoy more than a fresh cup of coffee. And there is no way to get a fresher cup then to grind the beans just before you make it. I was using one of the blade grinders for a while but was getting inconsistant results. So I researched Burr grinders that I had heard about. I checked many different sites for types and prices. I spent a good amount of time reading the reviews that had been written here and finally chose the Capresso because of price and availability.
The results have been good.
The dust that some people spoke of isn't that bad. And if you clean out the discharge hole every once and awhile and surrounding areas it doesn't cause any problems.
It does make noise while grinding but it takes a lot of force to crush the beans and it isn't much worse then a blender or can opener.
It seems to be well enough made and the pieces fit together nicely. Like anything made from plastic it would brake if handled roughly.
I have tried every setting on the machine and have used several different types of beens and have not had it jam-up once. I do clean out the burr grinders between refills of beans.
To sum up I feel that this machine is well worth the money I paid for it, give me a consistant product, is easy to use and dependable. You can't beat the smell of fresh ground coffee and home muffins.

I just bought this and it stopped working after 45 seconds. I understand that this is for home use, but I would expect it to work longer than that. I will return this product immediately and would not recommend it to anyone.
