Read ALL the reviews before you buy. After a gift of whole bean coffee for christmas, my wife and I went out to buy a coffee Grinder. I’ve never owned one, so we looked for something that was easy to use and was a brand we recognized. We got this unit and paid $14.99 (or so.)Perhaps the thing that impresses me the most about this is that I can leave it on the counter top. The cord winds up in the base.

I still hand clean the main part with a dry or very light damp paper, sit it upside down and and let it dry a good day. No problems here, but again, the manufacturer (and pretty much everyone else) advises against this. I’m just lazy,…
