Question 1

How loud is this grinder?

Accepted Answer

Not loud, it has a high pitch sound. Lot lower grinding noise than my old grinder.

Question 2

How is static cling on the grinder body or grounds container?  (my cuisinart and bodum both generate static.)  is there any cord storage?

Accepted Answer

No static cling here with mine. This is a super neat grinder compared to the plastic one I used to have.

NOTE that the static grounding on the grinder uses the earth ground wire in the house (the “third pin” safety ground on your electrical plugs), so if someone is having static cling problems with this grinder then I suspect they have electrical wiring problems in their house where their earth ground is messed up on the outlet they’re using, or their house lacks an earth ground wire (which some old houses still do).

Static is grounded literally to the ground and needs a wire going from the plug to a rod that’s literally driven into the ground, so this earth ground connection must exist and be wired up properly for grounding out static (or anything else) to work.

Question 3

Is anyone having good results for both french press and espresso grind settings? aeropress?

Accepted Answer

I use mine for Aeropress, V60, and espresso. My view is at works great for Aeropress and V60 but not so great for espresso. It is not a fine enough grind to get more than a 20 second pull. I'm starting to consider I need a different grinder.

Question 4

How hard is this to clean?

Accepted Answer

I just received this grinder a few days ago, and although I did not have any static problem in the catch bin as some others report--all of it pours out quite easily--when I remove the hopper and top burr after only a few uses, or even one use, there is quite a bit grinds retained in the unit, mainly around and under the bottom burr. I unplugged the unit, turned it upside down over the sink and brushed out what I could around the bottom burr and shook the grinder. Grinds went everywhere on the sink and counter. I repeated and there were still more grinds coming out. I blew into the top and grinds flew in my face and more came out the bottom of the chute onto the bottom plate. There were so many grinds it seems like a significant amount is retained from the beans you put in, and leaving it in day after day will cause rancid grinds to mix with the new grind. But to clean it that way after every use is untenable.
