Title: Messy, inconsistent grind -- don't waste your money!
Review: My friend has an old (OLD) Oster grinder with a similar look and features from the 50's that her son found at a thrift shop. I've been coveting it for years so when I saw *this* grinder, I thought I'd found a comparable grinder. WRONG. The Melitta is messy, make sure you have the cup in tightly (when you can get it in tightly!) or it will shoot grounds all over your counter and the grind is nearly the same -- course, uneven, a little powder, a lot of big chunks -- whether on 1 or 18.If you want to make a decent cup of strong coffee, and forget about espresso, you'd have to take the whole beans out of the holder and re-grind your *already* ground beans again and again. I can't even give this thing away. I'm going back to my small, electric Oster Cafe' Mill for a decent cuppa Joe and the guys at Waste Management can have the Melitta.
