5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my needs, August 14, 2008

By	Jessie Morris (Athens, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars mediocre at best, January 1, 2009

By	D. Wardlow "music extremist" (Beaver Island, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wanted to love it -, November 7, 2008

By	Paul Avery (Fort Collins, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Good looking, small footprint, low price, but
1. Jams constantly.
2. Overheats and shuts off.
3. Not possible to control fineness/coarseness of output
4. Make a horrible mess of your counter top everytime.
5. Cheap all plastic construction.

I would strongly recommend looking for an alternative.
