2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap but there are Better, April 10, 2006

By	DK (Washington DC) - See all my reviews

I bought this product because it's the least expensive model sold here in Amazon. I figured how bad could a relatively simple device with a singular function be? While the unit does grind coffee, it is relatively loud, messy, and takes longer.

Noise: It's (relatively) loud. This isn't a big deal if you're just at home but I use this in an office setting and I don't want to attract too much attention. No model is whisper quiet but the motor and beans produce quite a cacophony.

Mess: The design of the top fitting into the base isn't thought out. The plastic safety top fits around the base instead of going into it. As a result, there's some slight spillage of grounds when you take the top off. In addition, you'll be hard pressed if you want to pour the grounds into the top after grinding and then measure the grounds from there because there's a indentation in the top that prevents easy scooping, thereby producing more mess.

Grind quality: There is something is the blade design (I think because the blades sit a little higher from the bottom of the container) that prevents it from producing a fine grind no matter how long you hold the button.

The better models are those from Krups and Black & Decker. They are about $5 more but are worth it in terms of the above considerations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be priced higher, June 23, 2005

By	Sarah N. Balzac (Palmdale, CA and Caguas, PR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Considering the low price, I was kind of scared of whether or not it would be able to grind my beans fine enough for my espresso maker. I am a struggling college student, so a more expensive machine was not an option. When I got home, it was too late for a late so as I was checking my email on one browser I was looking at online reviews on another. I looked at reviews for more expensive machines where people complained that it couldn't grind fine enough, so if those pricier ones couldn't do it, nor could mine I thought. Wrong! It can and I am very happy with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Coffee Grinder, June 26, 2005

By	Estacada Lippy "Dan" (Estacada, OR USA) - See all my reviews

I have used this coffee grinder for several years. My spouse has purchased expensive grinders only to return them because they do not work as well as this one. When it plays out, we will purchase another one juse like it.
