The machine is prettier than that had my grandparents, but I think they could well struggled to open with their clumsy fingers. Missing asperities on the lid for ease of gripping. Otherwise, it does well the job: do we enjoy freshly ground coffee aromas. It takes the time to chopper timing for good grind, but overall it's very satisfying to the original bet. We use it with plunger coffee maker La.
We decided not to use it for something other than coffee, since we can not remove the receptacle for the washing, here.
