The faux brushed steel look of the Cuisinart coffee grinder really bothered me, sitting in my gaze every morning while I starred intensely on the coffee zone. I couldn't take that logo on the terrible material, but the grinder itself - well - grinds coffee really OK. I used to paint my appliances and unsightly things decades ago, so what else could I do but take comfort in the brush and I went for it. - MRThis is an actual grinder. Just bettered.As this item is hand done every one is slightly different of course, however, white and red are what I'm into right now.  Made to order, but it's fastish.
