Great little portable coffee grinder. We use this at home and take it with us when we travel. Fresh ground coffee beats k-cups any day. This is a sturdy unit; it grinds coffee beans well (as long as you don't overload); it is easy to use (drop in and push button) and each section comes a part easy to clean. The noise level is as expected; might even be a little quieter than our old unit. So far, so good. If this maintains it's functionality, I plan to purchase as gifts around the Holidays.
