This is so simple to use, according to a satisfied customer. Just move a lever to the number of cups you want and press Start. It grinds exactly the amount you asked for and then automatically shuts off.  

While some customers noted that you won’t get fine enough grind for strong espresso, with built-in features, you can grind beans for anything from light espresso drink to drip coffee.   

The Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill is also our pick for the best coffee grinder under $100.

Another combination of coffee maker and grinder; however, this Chefman model is more compact than the KRUPS one.
