If you, or know someone who, has a filter coffee machine then this coffee grinder is a MUST. We have it in our own home and have done for years, so can vouch that it lasts AND it really does an epic job of grinding down the beans. It can even be used for chopping up nuts and spices, so it's a versatile and pretty essential kitchen cupboard item (in our opinion).
