Customer Reviews

Best on the market

I've never had any trouble with the grinder, which is not the case with other brands owned by friends. The oval shape is interesting; apparently has something to do with the way coffee whirls around when ground and is supposed to increase grinding efficiency. Whatever, it works.

I had two, one for spices. (we got an extra as a present, so I dedicated the older one to spice grinding.) But I don't recommend it for spices, and wish I could recommend something other than my marble mortar and pestle, but that's what I use. Why? The cover of the Krups grinder gets scarred from the tough stems of cloves, and I noticed even the edge of the plastic cover got nicked and chipped. Question: where did those plastic chips go? So now I pound away on the mortar and use the grinder for coffee.

I had it for 5 years and it still works great

Simple makes it easy, the grinder is easy to clean, the metallic grinding cup prevents the grounds to stick all over the place (no static) and it is big enough for any type of coffee maker.
Of course there is no fancy switch to choose how fine you want the coffee, nor bean dispenser but coffee making is no rocket science and if you grind your coffee everyday you will quickly get it right.
I love it, it is durable and made by a company that specialize in those products (except for their espresso machines, where they suck, but well, they are German, not Italian).

A Reasonably Good Buy, Could Be Easier to Clean

My wife got this for me for Valentine's Day. I put the coffee beans in and yes, after pushing the button, they were ground up in a few seconds.

I agree with previous reviewers that clean up is not this items strong suit. I will probably dedicate a toothbrush to clean it, as the bowel is not removeable, and the directions tell you not to immerse the unit in water. So for spices, I would not recommend this item. (I prefer a mortar and pestle for this, anyway.)

For the price you pay, you get a pretty good coffee grinder.
