I just ground my first 3/4 cup of Sumatran beans in my new Black and
Decker coffee grinder. Have it set to about 2/3 towards the finest
setting and the grounds seemed coarser than what I'm used to with my
old coffee slicer. But I'm brewing them right now in my Mr Coffee 12
cup drip machine, so I will see how it comes out.

Seems like a lot more trouble than my old coffee slicer too, what with
the little clear plastic 2 piece ground coffee bin. Had to wash it out
after. With my old coffee slicer I'd just dump the sliced up beans
into my metal filter, whack it a few times to get all the sliced up
coffee out and go. (I rarely wash my coffee slicer.) Not that much
quieter either, one of the benefits I heard of of a low speed grinder
over a high speed slicer.
