That's what I use; you just hold down the button until you have the grind consistency you want. Works just fine for me, but then I like having separate devices.

Since I use a Keurig with the personal k-cup, this means that I need to do a lot of extra prep and clean-up that is not highly desired:).

As someone with no vision who lives alone, these are a serious pain and not really blind-friendly. Basically I find myself just guessing at the settings and sticking with whatever seems to work adequately enough to get freshly ground coffee of some degree the first time:). > > Thus, I am wondering if anyone knows of an accessible version of the grind and brew, if there is one that does not involve programming with a visual screen, or one that involves extremely limited programming as I am not sure it is possible to get one without any programming:). > Have a wonderful and hopefully not too cold week! > Chris > > Christine M.
