Chefman Conical Burr Coffee Grinder 9.7 oz Bean Capacity

TLDR; cheapo burrs, only good for drip; not fine enough for espresso, not consistent enough for french press. Messy basket. One of the first things you learn when you get serious about coffee is that uneven grind=uneven extraction=unwanted flavors (usually too bitter). These cheapo flat burr grinders all have an inherent bad burr design with unequal teeth and even have the screws protruduing so much they take part in the grinding process. This means that when the beans hit the large burr teeth, the beans will be rapidly crushed and produce lots of unwanted fines. Just compare the burrs to a Baratza or a Fellow grinder- no idea why they cost so much, sadly. Despite having 17 grind settings, only this smallest and largest are worth noting. The finest setting is more like a medium fine and suitable for drip only, definitely not espresso. The coarsest setting is barely large enough for french press, but like i mentioned earlier, the burrs produce tons of fine particles no matter what setting you use. (you can still use it by sifting it like flour but that's a waste of coffee and precious morning time .) All of the removable parts are high static plastic. The main issue is the chamber where all the grinds are deposited. This is held shut by a plastic lid that is somewhat difficult to remove, and when you finally do, all of those fine stuck to the static on top of the lid go flying all over the floor. For comparison, the glass chamber on my manual grinder has no static issues and can simply be wiped with a paper towel for light cleaning. I dont really use the timer on the front of the device. The device goes so fast (not sure if this is a good thing) that I can just stand there wait for beans to stop grinding in 5-10 seconds, then hit the button to shut off. Overall I regret this purchase, I wanted to be wrong about my suspicion about the burrs but I was unfortunately right. My old manual grinder, a modified Hario Skerton, is way better than this but is cumbersome to use even with a drill attachment. I tried to think of a reason to keep it but its frankly a waste of space.
