Does it go completely clear in Grind mode?

No, it does not go completely clear, clear-green-tint would be a more accurate description. With that said, the color does not present a problem seeing the work.

No, It's still dark. As long as there's plenty of light it will do just fine.

Yes. The longer you grind the finer the result. The see-though top will show you the result of your grinding.

Perhaps the grounds are wrong, do you await the light going on? Some suggest using a paperfilter but I don't mind grinding it fine and having a bit of silt Or two grinding runs, usually, one coarse and the top fine (not too fine ... caffeine is a certain size, like LSD, it gets smaller in your system )

Mine is for the most part clear but not completely. Works well for looking at it directly. Dims well.

Kind of, I was hoping..the grind is really good but the static can drive you crazy. If you find something that works, let me know. You really need to clean it out with each use.

When you say "grinding halt" do you mean that the blades literally stop instantly or do you mean that turning it to Med or Low is like hitting the off switch and the blades just slow down until they stop? Because if it is like hitting the off switch, then it just means you need a new switch. If the first hing is happening then you have some other major problem.

Yes! I have the same thing. It moves just a bit side-to-side when grinding.

In a word, No. And it does clog frequently. Sometimes the beans "bridge" and don't drop in mid grind. No way of telling how much you need to grind once you get the beans loose. Would not buy again, ever.

No. It's all over smooth. There is nothing you'd be able to loop through for either.

I have been using this grinder for several months - I will grind as finely as you wish. It runs and has an automatic "off". If you want it more fine - run it longer. Whether the fine setting is correct or not is a matter of preference. It will grind very fine. I hope this helps.

No! And the salt gets clogged really easy! You have to bang on it pretty good to get it clear. Hope this helps

Yes it does have the grind mode function on the helmet! It works great! Just twist the dial to adjust! Im really happy with this helmet.

It's completely clear, mostly smooth. Not as smooth as glass, but only very slightly textured.

The lid on the grinding chamber is clear. The machine's motor is electric but it is activated by a manual switch that the user must press to activate the grinding process. This means that you can press the grinding button for one second or for a year depending on the desired coarseness of the grind. You can easily determine your own desired level of grind or "medium-ness." Grind a little, check it. Grind a little more, check it. Cheers -

I have noted the grind settings are not perfect. I keep a small bowl to catch the extra grinds. I also set mine to give me slightly less than I need, then I manually top it off.

You have to hold the button down, but using the settings, it will automatically stop grinding after a certain amount of time, so that you can get the SAME amount/duration of grind every time you use it.

YES, There is a button on the front that says "Grind Off". After you hit that button you turn the unit on as usual and it goes thru the brew cycle as usual. We love this coffee maker. It makes really good coffee.
