I don't understand why this grinder had gotten such bad reviews! I purchased this along with my Capresso 303.01 espresso machine. I love this brand, I think they make quality products!
The complaints on noise are ridiculous, it's a coffee grinder! They're all loud and noisy, this one is no exception, nor is it the loudest I've heard. The settings work great, the timer works great (though most of the time, I just set it on the longest time and manually turn it off when I see that I've got enough grinds). I can get everything from fine for espresso to course for my french press. I have no problems with the setting switch moving on me either.
Because this isn't a conical burr grinder, I do get instances where the beans aren't falling into the chute and the machine makes that empty noise, but it's nothing a quick tap on the side doesn't fix. One reviewer mentioned that they needed a lot of beans to weigh it enough for the beans to fall into the chute. I usually only grind enough for myself, and don't have a lot of problem with putting in just a few scoops at a time. Again, nothing a quick tap or two to the machine won't fix. I think this is also fairly common with a lot of grinders, not specific to this machine.
And the clogging. Perhaps having worked at several coffee shops prepped me for this - but I clean out the chute after every use or every other use. It's not a hassle to me, it takes just a minute to put it next to my sink, jiggle the brush around in there and tap it out over the sink. I do it when I'm waiting for my coffee to brew, and I've done this since I got the machine and have not had any issue with clogging.
For the price point, I think this is an excellent and good looking machine that I would recommend. If you truly wanted something that performed at a higher standard, then you need to be willing to invest more money. |

| This is an excellent grinder, very little static electricity, but on fine grinds it needs to be cleaned frequently. I replaced another Capresso after about 14 years of service. I'm quite pleased with this one. The timer is pretty accurate for the number of cups you want to grind and it seems sturdier than the one I replaced. I expect it to last. |
We've loved it for 3 years now

| I am purchasing one as a gift, and noticed the poor reviews. We don't have anything bad to say about it, and have been using it for more than a couple of years now. Never has it jammed or broken. Yes, it is a bit noisy but, c'mon, it's grinding hard coffee beans! I've never had a coffee grinder that could do it quietly. |
A good grinder

| It's quieter than our old one (also a Capresso). That one lasted YEARS! It grinds well for our daily coffee, it's easier to clean. I'd recommend this for the everyday coffee drinker. |
Good selection
