Overall, not bad

I have had the grinder for about a year. It is my first burr grinder, and I was very excited about it (especially after spending 100 dollars). I am a heavy coffee drinker, and brew about 8 pots of coffee a week. My last grinder failed, and this was the best option I could buy right away (purchased at Williams and Sonoma).

The grinder started off great. The way it is designed minimizes the amount of coffee grinds that end up on the counter. Although the machine itself (especially the burr) can be hard to clean. In the past year, the grinding mechanism has decreased significantly in the amount it grinds. Currently, in order to grind enough beans, I have to run the unit twice (at the 20 mark). I guess if that is my only complaint, I'm doing okay.
