Recently, the bin that catches the ground coffee came loose and slides out when grinding. The result is coffee grinds everywhere. I contacted Bodum and they said their warranty does not cover the bin. I would have to purchase one with no guarantee that it would fix the problem. <br/><br/>First, the product is unreliable. Second, the company will not stand behind it's product. Apply the money you would spend on this towards a quality item like th Kitchen Aid burr grinder. I purchased this grinder a few months ago.

It was my fault, not the grinders, because I didn't check the grounds tray to see that my wife had just ground some beans and the cup was already full (watch out for this). I really overloaded this wonderful "antique" machine, which ended up stripping the drive gear. This machine is only surpassed by the hand driven one that my Polish Grandmother allowed us to use when we were children on her farm in 19.... something, after the American Civil War anyway, which was our introduction to freshly ground coffee. Unfortunately, Bodum's guarantee doesn't extend eight years. Would I buy another one...you bet! Am I going to buy another one...YOU BET!

I can say it has stood the test of time and still going strong. I didn't know they still engineered household appliances this durable anymore. It has lasted me through Dental School and my first 3 years of marriage. The container in the top will hold an entire 8 oz bag of beans and because most oxidation of coffee occurs after the beans are ground, you can have a Cafe quality cup of coffee every morining. Brew immediately after grinding. You will love it. So much better than those messy, awkward top loading grinders. You set the timer, grind, and pour into your filter. That easy. Occasional cleaning of the grinding rollers with a toothbrush will keep it running smooth. I have had this coffee grinder for about 8 years.
