Thanks for the responses!

I do have one of those Braun blade grinders and I do grind about 3
days worth at once. It immediately goes into a small Rubbermaid bowl
and it's still quite tasty when I make coffee. Just thought it would
be nice to have one dispense it into a jar/bowl automatically and then
sealed. I guess I'm looking for the easy (aka lazy) way to have fresh
ground coffee.
