Krups GVX114 Burr Grinder

by Krups

Product Description

The Krups GVX114 Burr Grinder is a versatile machine that will provide perfectly ground coffee for a wide variety of coffee makers. It features 17 different grind selections from fine to coarse, adapted for each type of coffee maker. The precision burrs grind the beans slowly and evenly, preventing overheating and preserving the original taste and aroma of the beans. You choose how much to grind - enough for 12 cups or as little as 2 cups. The machine will automatically turn off after the proper amount has been ground. Both the airtight bean container and the anti-static grounds container will hold up to 8 ounces. As a safety precaution, the machine will operate only if both the hopper lid and the coffee container are in place.

Please allow me to preface this review by saying I do not make lattes, cappicinos, or expressos at home. I only make regular coffee from coffee beans. When I want the fancy stuff, I go to the local coffee shop.

This is a great little grinder. Its the second grinder I've purchased, but this one is by far much better. My old one made a mess and I constantly had to shake it all around for it to work. It was a nightmare and made morning coffee not at all worth it.

This grinder is great! It allows you to select the fineness of the grounds, which is nice. BUT, the best part is that you can pour in the beans and set the grinder to the number of cups you are making, turn the grinder on, and walk away. It automatically shuts off when the right number of cups has been ground. Then, when I lift the little container with the grounds out to pour them in the coffee maker filter, there is no mess! That's right, no mess. And, its not as loud as the old one. Its still noisy of course, but not too bad.

I love my new little grinder. It serves our purposes of regular drip coffee very well.

Coffee beans frequently jam in the feed bin and cause the grinder to "free-wheel." The remedy is to hold the grinder in your hands while it's operating and shake it when the beans jam. Also, bean fragments can get in the seating track for the lid and prevent the safety mechanism from engaging, leaving you wondering why your grinder isn't operating. Finally, the grind button on ours decided to fall inside the case. Fortunately, the button isn't actually attached to the grind switch, so you can stick your little finger through the hole in the case and punch the switch to turn it on. And all of this within 3 months of purchase. Needless to say, when this grinder finally dies, we won't be buying another that's made by Krups.

We have an older model of this maker on our boat and for its size and cost it is perfect.
Fast forward a few years and we bought the exact model and it is junk. Can not grind very fine or evenly. After a few weeks now it feels hot to the touch, even before using it. We keep it unplugged for fear of fire. Needless to say as soon as we find a better unit we will be replacing it.

I do not recommend this unit.
