Can I grind a lot of beans at one time? Is the grinder electric or manual? Is the coffee grinder a space saver? How many coarness levels does the grinder have, ie; fine, ultrafine or coarse, medium coarseness. How was the cost of a grinder? What is difference in the most expensive grinder to the less expensive grinders? Can you use any flavor of coffee to grind? Does the coffee bean grinder come attached to a coffee maker? Does the coffee grinder have a preset timer- along with a automatic turn off mechanism?

A refillable aluminum compact sounds like a great way to avoid wasteful packaging. Hi Peggy, I expected to have some actual cosmetics users let me know what I don’t know.

Their makeup compacts are made out of recyclable aluminum and they sell refills. I've had their powder compact for over 10 years. I just buy refills for it when I run out. They also use clean ingredients. Here is more info from their website: http://aveda.aveda.com/aboutaveda/responsible_packaging.asp I have no affiliation with Aveda...just so you know.
