Mr. Coffee Automatic Silver Burr Mill Grinder with 18 Custom Grinds

I've had several coffee grinders--Sunbeam, Oster, GE. This is by far the best. It's quieter, makes a more consistent grind, is easier to clean, and has a neat way to set just how much coffee you want. When it hits that amount, it shuts off automatically. You don't have to guess how much ground coffee you're going to get. And for heaven's sake, only get a burr grinder like this one. Blade grinders do a lousy job!

I use this for espresso only. This machine got a lot of good reviews so I took a chance. I can return it if it performs poorly for grinding espresso. Well this machine isn't going back! I always had my beans ground from my local coffee shop. Number 2 on their machine which is very fine. Only trouble is a noticeable drying out of the grounds within a few days which produces poor crema. Now with this machine I don't have that trouble anymore. Grind what I need when I need it. I like the fine grind it does. Comparible to what the coffee shop was doing for me (it is on the finest setting to do this). Works perfectly with my espresso machine. I can put 3/4 of a pound of beans in the holder and the lid fits tight enough that I notice no drying out what so ever.
