By precisely grinding coffee beans at any of 17 degrees of coarseness or fineness this electric grinder makes it possible to enjoy full-flavored espresso, drip, French press, and percolator coffee in moments. The grinder has a portion-control container that sends enough beans into the grinder for two cups each time the container's lid is turned a "click." Two clicks means enough for four cups and so on up to eight clicks for 16 cups. The container is removable so beans can be stored in the refrigerator. A bowl beneath the container accepts already-ground coffee to be further ground according to preference by turning the grind-selector dial to one of the 17 positions. The container into which ground coffee flows can be removed for pouring out the coffee. The burr grinding wheel also removes for easy cleaning. With the portion-control container in place, the grinder, clad in black plastic, measures 11-1/2 inches high. .
