" ...  I use it for grinding fresh coffee beans.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The best coffee grinder I have ever purchased.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I like the fact that it holds a half lb of beans and that I can grind the coffee for the week instead of each pot use. ... the ground coffee container is air tight and slides in easily. ... Took some getting used to on how much ground coffee to use when your used to a serving of beans but easy learning curve.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It has a large airtight bean storage container on top of grinder, a selector to pre-select the quantity of coffee beans dropping through the grinder into the removable container.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I’ve even taken it on road trips I like it and my French press coffee so much.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This does hold most of a pre-roast pound of coffee (maybe 5/6 a pound post roast?) ... When it grinds coffee, even plain beans, it does produce fines.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I owned a catering company and used them to grind all my special coffee service. ... Update: I forgot to say this unit is self-contained and makes coffee grinding clean and easy.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It’s settings allow for grinds compatible with just about any coffee brewing device I’m aware of. ... I use it to prepare coffee for my French press and my cold brew carafe.  ...  "

" ...  The canister that holds grounds is poorly designed and needs you to be exactly level and straight with the grinder for it to seat correctly.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Unfortunately the container that holds the grounds completely broke last week.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I don't know if it really matters, because the area that holds the beans doesn't have a great seal anyhow. ... I didn't need to take screws out like another reviewer suggested.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Go ahead, left your DBM-8 to your ear, turn it a little bit, don't you hear those plastic bits falling around inside of it?  ...  "
comment
" ...  There's too big a gap between the grinder and the housing, so the beans kept getting stuck & the grinder wouldn't work.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Due to vibrations, the screws back themselves out and in turn fall into the grinder, making a horrific noise, and destroying the grinding mechanisms.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The bean hopper lid popped up when grinding so I had to keep my hand on it so grinding wouldn’t stop and start all over.  ...  "
