No smoke for me, yet... I can think of many ways that I am in more danger of burning my house down than a little electrical appliance (month old christmas tree with 8 strings of lights on it all plugged into the same outlet, for example). The fine dust is an issue with french press, didn't bother me too much, but it is there and I can imagine it would bug many.
