Bunn is the One!,
By
This review is from: BUNN BCG-B Professional Quality Home Coffee Grinder, Black (Kitchen)
Feeling a little sticker shock? If your coffee grinder shopping experience is running anything like mine did recently, you are clutching your chest and feeling around for the smelling salts, mumbling "Is that what coffee grinders cost nowadays?"The husband and I take our coffee drinking seriously, pots a day, but have simple needs. We don't make fancy coffee. We don't drink espresso. We've never frothed our milk, half n half is just fine for us. Our coffeemaker is a Bunn BT-10, a replacement for a Bunn B-10 which lasted us 8 years before finally giving up the ghost. We use Dunkin Donuts whole beans which are excellent but, yes, simple. So, when our Capresso Burr Grinder went up recently, and I went coffee grinder shopping, I was more than a little shocked at how much a good coffee grinder costs. When I bought our Capresso 8 or 9 years back, burr grinders were just becoming popular and it cost me all of $50. My shopping experience was confined to Amazon, being pressed for time, and my initial purchase was not for this grinder but for a Capresso 565.04. I ended up having to return that model (see my review there, if you like), and decided to spend the extra $20 on this Bunn Grinder as a replacement. ($140, $160, it's all the same, right? If my husband ever finds out how much I spent on a grinder, he's going to have me committed.) I love this Bunn! First of all, it's easy as pie to use. Switching the grinds is a bit cumbersome as you have to reach inside the hopper to do it, but being simple people, we don't need to switch the grinds. The initial factory drip setting turned out to be just perfect to go with our Bunn Coffeemaker and our normal beans. Next, the unit is compact. The Capresso I ordered orginally was a monster, and an odd shaped monster at that. This Bunn does not take over my countertop, but is still holds a generous amount of coffee and feels substantial. It is reasonably quiet. Reasonably. Burr grinders are pretty darn LOUD by nature, but this model is quieter than my old Capresso grinder, which is a blessing. Nonetheless, you still get a jolt of noise in the morning before you get a jolt of java. The hopper, the hopper, the hopper. This is my favorite part. A rectangular hopper seems like a much better design choice than conical. The new Capresso I purchased and then returned had a conical design which drove beans down into the machine as soon as they were poured. Hated it. Cleanliness. Cleaning the grinder is easy and cleaning up after it is no shakes. The grinds stay where they are supposed to instead of spilling out all over the counter. Finally, my simple coffee tastes better than it did before I bought the Bunn Grinder. As neither my coffeemaker nor my beans have changed, I'll make the logical leap that the extra credit goes to this grinder. $160 is still a lot of money to spend on a coffee grinder. If the product holds up the way that I expect based on my track record with the Bunn brand, it works out to about $20 a year, or 35 - 40 stops at Starbucks overall. Worth it, yes, but just don't tell my husband I spent $160 on a coffee grinder.

BEST IN IT'S CLASS!,

There is a lot to like about this grinder. Its strong low RPM motor never bogs down and there is almost no static electricity to deal with like my last grinders. It's a very clean machine to use, does not make a mess on your counter top and stays in place while grinding. I have owned this machine for about a year now and I expect it may be the last grinder I will have to buy. I grind for drip only and that's what this machine is made for, will not grind fine enough for espresso. The removable solid steel grinding burr is extremely well made, very heavy and very sharp. The grind is extremely consistent. Should it become necessary to replace the burrs they are very easy to remove and replace Bunn's customer service is top notched and it has a 3 year warrantee. The sound level is quiet tolerable. The grind adjustment is inside the hopper, while that might be a hassle for some who change the grind a lot or keep the hopper full, it's no problem for me as I only add enough beans for a pot full at a time and once I established the right setting I have left it there. I clean the machine about once every six weeks. I would recommend that you buy a can compressed air at Wal-Mart or a computer store. A blast of air down the chute makes cleaning less of a chore. The only other negative points I would make are if you only add enough beans to grind a pot full at a time the chute should be a little steeper. Those last few beans take a while to grind. I wish it had an on/off switch besides the timer which I must reset twice as I grind. There are many grinders on the market however in its price range, great customer service and 3 year guarantee I believe this grinder is by far the best choice. I love Bunn Brewers to, please read Happy Camper review if you are in the market for one because they require a little tweaking.
