Summary: This is the one
Comment: Quite simply this is the least expensive home grinder that does a good job. I used an inexpensive Braun grinder for many years, purchased and returned a Lello 45800/3006 Ariete Burr Coffee Grinder recently, and observed others in use at various places. This Capresso grinder is far superior to all of those others.
- The conical burr design this model has is the only way to go. Consistent grind and low static electricity.
- Still noisy, but at a lower frequency that other units out there. Definitely bearable in volume.
- Timer is simple and works.
- My only complaint (echoed by others) is that some coffee is left inside the unit after each grind (maybe 1/2 a tablespoon). Not a big deal.
Overall I highly recommend this grinder. The black finish is fine, but if it is in your budget I'm sure the stainless is even better looking.
