The grinder is simple to use and quickly grinds beans in just 10-15 seconds. However, it is not very easy to clean and the on/off mechanism is not my favorite. I have concerns about the small contact pin, as it seems fragile and could potentially render the grinder useless if it were to break.

This grinder is specifically used for grinding spices. It doesn't produce a very fine grind, but it gets the job done and is more convenient for me than using a pestle and mortar, especially when I need to work quickly or grind larger quantities. I haven't tested it on very hard cinnamon sticks yet.

I didn't buy this product because of reviews, but because I'm a fan of Courant. The stainless steel is stain-free, the blades are sharp, and it's easy to hold. The cord stows in the bottom and is a comfortable length. My only issue is the button on the lid, which took me a while to figure out is by design. Pushing the button out slightly and then down turns the grinder on, rather than just pushing straight down like other grinders. It seems to be a safety feature, but it's something to be aware of when using it for the first time.

The motor on this grinder produces a high amount of torque, causing the whole unit to twist when started with just one finger. Unfortunately, the bowl with the blades is not removable, making it difficult to clean. However, the grinder is sturdy and well-made.

I purchased the Courant French press coffee maker, and then decided to buy the coffee grinder for a better tasting cup of coffee. I was very happy with the results - the coffee had a full flavor and I didn't need to buy expensive ground coffee.

This grinder does the job well for the price and can hold a large amount of coffee grounds. It's a blade grinder, so it takes some time to get used to, but with online tutorials and practice, you'll figure it out. Overall, it's a good purchase for a budget blade grinder.

The grinder does a great job of grinding the beans, although it can be challenging to remove the grinds from the grinder. As a solution, I simply transfer them into a Tupperware bowl.

The product functions as expected, effectively grinding coffee to the desired consistency. Adjusting the grind is easy, with a longer duration resulting in a finer grind. However, I have found it frustrating that the power button sometimes requires a lot of wiggling to activate. Overall, it is not difficult but can be bothersome.
