Phillips' web site says : "Ground coffee container with anti-static feature" Is there static?

Compared to my 10 year old Saeco Grinder this one as essentially no static. The materials they have used for the container are apparently more conductive and the ground coffee stays in the container until you pour it out

No. What ever you use needs to be ground. So either buy ground coffee or grind it yourself. Hmmm. Sounds good right about now.

You need to have the brew basket pushed to the left and locked in the open position. If it is closed, and you cannot see the open filter basked with the filter in it, then it will not grind and assumes that you have pre-ground coffee in it.

Not sure may be too wobbly and could end up w grounds in coffee carafe part?

Pam...I didn't like the Bean Safe and returned it. I DID buy a total of 4 of the Planetary Design Airscape canisters. They come in different sizes and colors and they keep my beans and fresh ground coffee FRESH :-)

Apologies in advance if this isn't what you are looking for... Does the following help?When finished grinding a specified number of cups, and you *do not* tap the side of the housing, there is less than a quarter tsp of grounds (qualify this: winter season, low humidity, northern midwest US, at this writing). If you gently tap the housing, there really is not any retained grounds.If you unlock the feeder bin, and remove it. There is a variable amount, between a 1/8 and a 1/4 cup of half beans and parts. Good Journey!

I don't know about static electricity but I've had to return two of them because we only grind very fine French Roast coffee beans and maybe ours are just too oily for this machine and perhaps we just drink too much coffee! I loved it when it worked but they just didn't do so for more than a couple of months so I'm sorry to say we cannot recommend it.

I have same machine. Never had any issues. Only suggestion is to ensure you use quality espresso ground coffee. If that doesn't help return machine.

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.

PS - They say you can find the replacement information on the bottom of your coffee pot. I'll have to check it out. ;)

I actually store ground coffee in the friis coffee vault. You are supposed to change the filter every other month-that's just 6 times a year.

To second another answer... There should be a little note from the factory that says they test with actual coffee before the unit leaves the factory, so finding left over grinds is normal on new units.

I hate it and have put it aside for. Goodwill. The ground coffee receptical blowsOut unless you hold it. I have bought the Capresso Burr Grinder from aAmazon and love it and bought two for gifts. Hope that helps.

There is a separate outlet for ground coffee but is restricted to one cup at a time. You can not used ground coffee in the main bean container. Use of the one cup slot is messy and requires cleaning after each use. I would not recommend if you intend to primarily use for ground coffee. BUT FRESH BEANS ARE BETTER ANYWAY!!

Hi. This was ground. I used it in my drip coffee maker, but it would work well in a perculator, also. I hope that this helps.

I had this issue as well. I emailed customer service at Krups and they said "The settings are fine to coarse, left to right." I decided to see for myself and ground coffee at each of the extremes. Frankly they don't look that different, maybe the right-most setting seems more coarse, but it's not obvious. I'm wondering if my machine isn't working correctly.

I've been told directly by the manufacturer that each unit does a limited capacity test, so finding coffee grounds is not uncommon. As long as all of the factory equipment (cables, trays, etc) are present and still properly taped and sealed as you would expect a new unit to be, you should be fine. Beware of openbox/return items that are not packaged properly or have missing parts. Retailers are especially bad for this.
