If only the hopper were shaped like an actual CONE
Pros: 1. quiet... definitely more quiet than other brands of similar price range... not loud at all 2. fine tuned ground selection and easy to change with a twist 3. very easy and fairly mess-free grounds collection cup for pouring into a filter 4. compact size... fits neatly behind stuff on counter 5. attractive look Cons: 1. you have to SHAKE IT EVERY TIME to get the beans to fall down into the spinning burr grinder... the hopper isn't shaped like a cone like most grinders and this results in beans settling horizontally and not responding to gravity enough. This puts this item into a FAIL score 2. the timer makes zero sense... the default 10 seconds barely makes enough for a single serve, and there is no way to change the default to what works for you... this means you have to change the timer EVERY SINGLE TIME you want coffee that's 2 cups or more... it would make much more sense to have a physical setting (not digital) that stays the same as you like it 3. it beeps, which is also another option you cannot turn off. I can HEAR the grinder when it stops, I don't need a mandatory beeping sound

Frequent problems
I ordered this a month ago. It will grind and then stop, I have to take it apart and clean it out then it will work a short time. The last use, I cleaned it out, following the directions using the brush, wiping out and cleaning the blade area with a towel, and now the unit just blinks. It will not reset to use. The manual offers no assistance on this.

TRU Coffee Grinder
This is the best coffee grinder purchased.

you haven't tasted coffee until using this.
When I got this I figured it would just be great way to start using coffee beans, instead of preground coffee. I didnt think it would change the taste as much as it did! Fresh ground coffee from this TRU Large Capacity Burr Grinder beats out any brand of pre-ground coffee, no questions asked. it is user friendly (meaning my bone head self could work it no problem) and has made drinking coffee completely different from before.

Interesting product
First time using a grinder very interesting. It is noisy. I will say it gives you different options of coarseness for the coffee beans. You can make a huge amount at a time but you have to be careful on overflowing. I will say the coffee does taste a little bit different when freshly ground compared to others.

Great features
I've always been interested in grinding my own coffee and this grinder has been easy and fun to use. I love that you can select your desired coarseness and grind time. The stainless steel burrs grind the beans to perfection. You can remove the ground bin for easy transport. The large removable hopper holds up to 20 oz and also has a UV blocking tint to maintain freshness. Digital countdown shows how much grind time is left. Easy removable burrs for cleaning.

Use it multiple times daily!
I've been using the TRU burr grinder for about 3 weeks now and it has served me well. I've used it a few times to create a fine grind (for V60) but mostly on a coarse setting for French Press. The machine grinds fairly evenly for its price point. The only hang up I have is that the timer resets to 10 seconds every time you use it. I need 12 seconds so I have to manually start it over or press the time a few times to get the exact amount, every time. Since I use it multiple times a day for two people, it does get tiring. The machine also tilts back when you press the buttons because it's so light. Because of this, you have to hold it with two hands to keep it in place while you make your selections with the buttons.
