Title: Decent grind, annoying safety features
Product review: Received as a wedding gift and honestly liked it at first. Gave a good consistent grind for daily coffee and occasional espresso. Then the annoyance and frustration began...The hopper is way too small and requires you to fill it every couple of days. In doing so you must make sure the cover engages with two sensors that make sure it is closed. Overfill the hopper and you're hosed. Get some wayward grinds or dust into the sensors, no coffee for you!The outflow container suffers from the same problem - two little sensors to tell the machine no coffee will fly everywhere. I don't know how many times I cleaned it out just to get a day's coffee only to need to clean it out a few days later. Don't even try to clean the grinding elements, unless you want more frustration.We have since switched to the Cuisinart DBM-8 - loud as a jet, but over 18 months of problem-free grinding (and cheaper too).
