Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
List price on Amazon is only $40, so this doesn't seem like that much of a discount at first. But maybe Amazon lowered the list recently, as the camels show this actually being a good deal...hmm.
I really like this grinder but there are a couple huge drawbacks. It makes a mess. The grounds get all over the place and don't go into the tiny hole in the lid. The containers and silicone piece will slide out as well due to vibrations.
There ain't no setting to pick how many cups you wanna make.
Instead, you gotta choose how long to grind the beans.
This is such a pain because you gotta figure out how long it takes to grind what you wanna brew.

Any setting on any coffee mill or grinder that attempts to indicate how many cups you are grinding for is just an estimate, as that setting is also a timed setting and beans and grind setting will yield different weights of ground beans. If, for example, you want 18 grams of coffee for your espresso, you may want to weigh out how much goes into a scoop, or tablespoon, and then scoop that into the grinder and grind all of it.
Or, if you have the hopper filled, you can grind for a set time and weigh the amount of coffee that is ground and use the same time every time.
Just because the grinder has a setting for 1, 2, 3, 4 cups of coffee, doesn't mean that it is grinding out the correct amount you need for the bean and grind you have chosen. My grinder has these cup markings, too, and I totally ignore them.
tl;dr: Cup settings are just approximations and are different according to the coffee, grind and strength you desire. Weigh or scoop out the correct amount you need, or find the time that yields the same amount.
