Black & Decker Coffee Grinder

What a piece of junk! Bought this to match our stainless steel look in the kitchen, and what a mistake. Ok, it grinds coffee. But if you brew a 'normal' amount of coffee (alright, maybe Seattle isnt normal), you will have to fill it to near the top with the cover off. Thats ok, but the top part is very difficult to get off and you will spill coffee doing this. Flipping it over in the hopes of using the top to transfer the coffee doesnt work either, its SMALLER and wont hold it all, and again you spill. The manual wind up cord design is awful, it comes out of the bottom, and it usually sits perched at an odd angle because its sitting on top of the cord (do you want to spend 2 or 3 minutes trying to get it to come out the little tiny cutaway every morning? Probably not). I reckon the top will break after some more use, there is a little tiny plastic piece that extends into the body to activate the grinder (this plastic piece is what makes it so difficult to get the top on and off). I hope it does soon so I can rationalize tossing it in the trash heap and getting a Braun. I rated the value as low because I paid a premium price to get the stainless steel look.
