Great Little Grinder Seven Years and Counting, May 2, 2006
This amazing little blade grinder has been crushing up our beans now for seven years and counting! They should have called it the Energizer ... it just keeps grinding, and grinding, and grinding ....
No bells and whistles, just plug it in, fill it with beans, put on the lid, push down on the button, count to ten, turn upside down filling lid with grounds, dump grounds from lid to coffee maker basket, replace lid, put back in cupboard 'til tomorrow morning.
If you need more from your grinder, don't look here, because that's all there is to it. But if you just need to make great coffee every morning, and need a reliable grinder at a great price, this is the one you are looking for.
Put me down as one fully satisfied customer.

The only way to enjoy home brewed coffee!, May 12, 2005
It has been about six months since I started grinding my own coffee beans with this Mr. Coffee grinder. I usually use it three times a week. And my Mr. Coffee grinder is still going strong.
Of course, I read all of the instructions before attempting to use. (Like everyone one does right?) The instructions state in big bold letters to use only for grinding coffee beans. This grinder should not be used as a nut grinder or any other food items. There could be some cross contamination of flavors. "Good idea!" I said. But. What if I wanted some nut flavor with my coffee? Hint: If you did grind another food source, put in some bread pieces and grind. The food particles should be picked up with the bread. It is now back to its original state.
The grinders size is perfect for up to a 12-cup coffee maker. I always fill my 12-cup coffee pot, so I wanted to know how much whole beans to use. So once again I found this from the instructions. Six tablespoons. This is the maximum holding capacity for this grinder. Perfect.
Consistency ground size comes next. Yes after nine seconds the size should be perfect for my automatic drip coffee maker. And it was. Any longer than that the grounds would become powder, which is good for espresso and coffee in your cup. Some people like that so that would work for them.
A safety switch will automatically shut off when not in use. That is a nice feature for the safety conscience. When done grinding your beans, turn the unit over, tap a couple times, and "Walla" a pouring device. Pour right into your coffee filter. Turn on coffee machine and now you have time to clean out the grinder.
The grinder needs to be cleaned after each use to keep it in tiptop shape. And have a longer shelf life. One drawback is that some powder sticks to the bottom of the grinder. I just get a paper towel and wipe it out. Presto, cleaned until next time.
Grinding coffee beans at home gives the freshest coffee I can get at home!

Good for money,But not durable, January 29, 2003
By A Customer
Key factors which one considers :
Job quality : Fine
Good value for money : Yes
Durable : No
Ease of Use: Yes
Daily Use : Yes
Other comments : Rough and tough ,good for short term,no hastle of using buttons to switch ON/OFFI would personally rate it as acceptable but not that great.
Acceptable 'coz it is easy to use and compact.It gives a very uniform grind, which is what one looks for.After using it for less than a year,we noticed that our grinder was not grinding the coffee as fine as we required.And,in no time,our machine broke down.
Yes,it is surely good for money and for daily usage.Rather,at times,I even tried grinding Cinnamon and,the resultant was pretty impressive.But,I personally do not consider it good for people who want something economical that can sustain for long.
Another noticeable thing is that there is no switching system(ON/OFF). Place the cover on the grinder .Apply gentle pressure and,it takes care of the rest.
Cleaning : Use dry soft tissues to clean and,there will be no scratch Conclusion : Fine quality,Economical,Short term usage
