(Just got it) What's the deal with the bottom lid? It traps at least 1/2 the grinder output. What am I missing?

The bottom lid is only used as a funnel to fill the grinder. You leave the lid off when you're seasoning your food.

This is the main reason why I am not thrilled with this specific model. We just don't use it.

I usually shake it a bit to get it out. I have found though after time of using it that its quality of use has declined. I am not sure why, but the stuff gets trapped and its not coming out like it did before. Not sure why. I am going to contact Ozeri to replace it. They have great customer service.

Same story, I've gotten multiple counters out of one set. The switch on my grinder went out pretty quick though. Always wants to spring off of lock mode.

My grinder is in basemant with another things when I missed return time. I did have problem with grinding wheal. After every grinding was too loosen or fell of place.

Yes it has a bottom. I often forget to take it off and start grinding. I'm not alone, my guests do the same thing. For the record, I use mine for pepper. Also, the light doesn't always work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Overall though, I am very happy with this grinder. Hope this is of some help to you.

Don't bother. I never use that glass receptacle. If your doing a whole bag at one time, find a receptacle that fits under to catch the grind as I do. Your going to have static cling regardless of its glass or plastic. I used that small glass receptacle once, never again. Check your cupboards & find the perfect one. You don't need the one that came with your grinder.

the black cap on the bottom (recessed into the body of the grinder) twists and pulls out. Make sure that each battery is in the position indicated. New batteries last us at least a year with frequent use.

Do not tamp it down too hard and as long as your hear a 'chugging' noise, it is working. Check your grind, too. It may be too fine. Espresso grind is too fine, use a slightly coarser grind. Also, get a burr grinder. Blade grinders make too much fine powder and will clog the filter. Cool?

No mess. Usually cover the top with my hand while grinding. It is hard to adjust the grind setting as ther is not a good gauge. However it will grind any level from expresso to drip etc. hope this helps. It is a great little grinder.

This has been a problem reported by other reviewers and I also have had the problem when I over tightened something inside while cleaning. I had the grinder fixed. Since then, the grind has been very even. You can read the comments section of my review to learn the whole story.

maybe you need to adjust the grind time. if it doesn't stop when set to the minimum, something is broken. or put in the double shot cup and set it to single shot grind volume.

Paul, please write a review of this grinder. I have been unable to find ANY reviews in the web.

There's a device on top that you tighten or loosen to adjust the coarseness of the grind. After owning for 6 months, I would not recommend this product.

Mine only makes a quick, not too loud of a noise, right as it turns on... before it starts to grind. It only lasts a fraction of a second. I would be concerned if you have a continuing noise. I would exchange it, rather than worry every time you use it.

Yes, and we had the same problem with our other grinder. There is a plastic top that you cannot see in the picture that covers the top. You remove the top and turn it over to dispense.

I don't know what the problem is ... have never had it. Can only guess that you are not attaching it properly. Try to be sure it is evenly hooked into both the main grooves (and not filled over the top with coffee) before you turn it, and lock it in. I love our machine. If you clean it each time (run it through without coffee a little), it should last many years. pg

Yup, it strikes me as a rather poor design. It allows the space between the outer and inner burrs to become larger or smaller on one side, changing the size of the grind. It also allows the inner and outer burrs to rub against each other, causing wear. I'm no expert on grinders but this is surely not how I'd design one. Though in practice the grinder works pretty well for fine grinding, which is what I use it for.Here's an optional bushing to improve the grinder's performance for course grinds.
