Pros: Inexpensive for a burr grinder
Cons: Poor quality and design
The Bottom Line: Don't be fooled by the marketing of this product, it does not perform like a burr grinder should.

| ken_o's Full Review: Black & Decker SmartGrind Deluxe CBM7B Electric Bu... |
This grinder is no better than a blade grinder. It will grind adequately for drip coffee, but does not grind anywhere near fine enough for espresso. B&D says it will produce a Turkish grind--this is nonsense.
It is very poorly made and designed. The switch on mine gets stuck frequently making it difficult to turn on or off. The beans do not move from the hopper into the grinder without having to shake the unit and it frequently clogs where the grounds are ejected. It is very noisy and messy to use.
For drip coffee stick with a cheaper, more reliable, and easier to use blade grinder. If you need to grind for espresso you'll have to spend the money to buy a good burr grinder.
