This is new and has never been used, however there is a crack in the black plastic surrounding the stainless steel grinding cup.  It works fine as-is. 

I bought a bunch of these high quality Capresso stainless steel electric coffee grinders locally for a good price to resell.  After closer examination I noticed that there was a factory defect in all of them- small cracks around the cup.  I guess this explains why I got the good price... I have sold over 15 of these with no complaints, they all work fine, and I have a friend who has been using one for about 2 years now no problem...  They also work well for grinding herbs.  High quality metal construction, powerful and quiet motor, and cord can store around the base when not in use.

Why Grind Beans at Home?

Grinding just before brewing will protect the aroma of your coffee. Ground coffee interacts with the air around it and, within hours, loses a great deal of flavor and aroma. The longer the ground coffee sits around, the less aroma you will find in your cup later.

• Only grind what you need now. DonÂ’t grind for the whole week!
  
• Once the beans are out of an airtight packaging, keep them in a dry, dark container with a tight closing lid.

Blade Grinders “smash” the beans with a blade at very high speed (20,000 to 30,000 rpm). The ground coffee has larger and smaller particles and is warmer than ground coffee from burr grinders. They also can do a great job for grinding spices and herbs.

What else to look for in grinders? Static, noise, safety and ease of cleaning are important factors.

Static:

• The ground coffee creates “static cling”. The ground coffee particles fly around and “cling” to surfaces.
  
• Before removing the grounds containers (all burr grinders), tap the container slightly and remove slowly.
  
• Before removing the lid of blade grinders, tap the top of the grinder and remove the lid slowly.

Noise:

• Some grinders are extremely loud which can be very annoying. The Capresso Blade Grinders (Cool Grind) are
