Grinds well until it breaks . . .
Burr grinders ARE much better . . . but only if they are sturdy enough to last! This one did fine for a few months, then the first thing that happened was the plastic gismo covering the blades broke ... then (probably because of the lack of the "gismo") the plastic container holding the beans cracked (while grinding, not from abuse!).And just today, the little burrs burred their last.Maybe mine was just a lemon -- you can decide the risks for yourself. :-)
