I've ground about 20lbs of beans so far and find this unit pleasantly surprising. I started by setting it to a more fine position expecting it to beat up the beans more than the consistent grind you get out of commercially sourced coffee grounds. Much to my surprise this unit provided excellent consistency in the grind but also was much finer than I needed for my Mr. Coffee machine. I backed it off several numbers and found consistent bean grind with an excellent yield in the coffee and right at the edge of leaving any thing in the pot after brewing. I using the smaller units and grinding by how it looks I usually got a small residue in the bottom of the pot but an excellent yield with good tasting coffee. With this Krups unit I get the coffee yield but without the residue in the pot.
On the down side there is a small amount of grind that spills out when you remove the container, the lid tends to have a build up inside the edge, and some fine particles do stick to the insides of the container. I found a small soft brush a little bigger than the one they send solves most of this. This thing is noisy which is to be expected but it is doing a job for you so its not an issue. I usually grind a couple pounds of beans which go in several sealed containers lasting a week or more each with a different flavor/roast to which this unit seems to work perfectly for.

Revised: after a year I added a few stars
After one year of use I am removing my complaint about the grind size and giving a compliment for durability. I read some home roaster groups talk about grind size so I did a full comparison and it looks to be fairly diverse grinds. Every other sentence stands. It's still a very messy device even for a grinder being handled with extreme care.Based on this alone, it DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED. It says 9 settings, but it only has one setting . And that setting is coarse combined with super fine dust that's been compacted against the interior top edges of the container because its been blasted out from the 'hopper port'. Some other reviewer here posted a perfect picture of the issue.It's a total design flaw. Yes it "Grinds coffee", but 20 seconds of grinding is a 5 minute clean up. The grind holder is a super smooth semi circular container with no grip points at all. The lid is a 1/8" tall super smooth with no grip points. Now imagine you're trying to remove a teeny slippery semi circle lid from a slippery semi circle container that's holding nothing but dust. Now try to get that material to go into your permanent container. Make sure you are working over a sink and cover your counter in painters cloth before you begin. Nothing but a mess. If you try to tap the top of the container to get everything to fall to the bottom, the dust blasts out of the container hole.Krups probably built this thing on a computer and never put it in front of a test crowd. I would happily volunteer.It's shame because it feels durable. This mess making, one-size-fits-all coffee grinder will probably last a long time.
