(More customer reviews)The idea of having a hopper that feeds whole beans into the grinder right before brewing sounds great.
It's what influenced my decision to place this on my Wedding Registry.
Little did I know that moisture from the beans or from the brewing process would rise up into the hopper, causing the beans to stick to each other. The result is that not enough beans fall into the grinder.
The grinder runs for as long as it thinks it needs to grind x scoops of beans, so there's nothing that tells it that there are the right amount of grounds in the filter. If something blocks the beans from falling into the filter, you'll have less grounds than necessary for that perfect brew and your coffee will end up having the thickness and color of black tea- like mine frequently does.
The remedy is to STAND in front of the device, hopper lid off, and ensure that when the beans stick to one another, you quickly stir the beans, so that they make it down into the grinder. This defeats the purpose and I may as well SKIP the hopper, pull out my hand grinder and go back to grinding the night before.
Well, I went fancy German and failed... my old trusty Mr. Coffee never failed me.
