This review is from: Hamilton Beach 80355 Custom Grind Coffee Grinder, Platinum (Kitchen)

I loved this grinder when we first got it because we use a french press, an automatic coffee pot, and an espresso maker. The array of grinds is wonderful! If it only lasted.... I had the same problem as everyone else, the ring broke & I found myself shoving paper in just to get a seal. Would be a superior product if they made it to last.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's pretty basic, March 4, 2006

It's OK, but it's pretty basic. You have to load it every time, adn when done, you have to turn it over and hit it so the coffee will separate from the grinder. Also, as the last reviewer said, it is hard to work the lever to get the amount of cups you want. Sometimes, you have to go from the top and count the clicks to know how many cups you want. A good thing about it is that it is really small, so it will not take up much counter space.

3.0 out of 5 stars As far as blade grinders go..., December 23, 2005

I purchased this on a recommendation from a friend's mother, and I am basically pleased with it; although, I'm about to toss this one in order to "upgrade" to a burr grinder.

Despite what many coffee connaisseurs will pretend, blade grinders are good enough for your basic press pot and drip coffee. If you're into espresso, then you should invest in a more expesive grinder, period.

One major drawback to this model is that the old grinds seem to get permanently "stuck" in the grind basin.
