So I loved this grinder. Previous I’d gotten a grinder almost twice as expensive that looked cool but drove me crazy. It had a cup you had to remove that was sharp and it was loud and didn’t grind well. So when I got this grinder I was very happy with it. It doesn’t look like much but it’s a relatively quiet grinder that will turn your beans to dust in less then 30secs. I like a super fine grind for my pour over coffee and I hate spending a ton of time grinding my beans. So I was very pleased with this purchase. There are a couple of cons: first the cord. It twists up and there’s nowhere to put it so you just have to deal with the spiraling of the cord. Every so often I’d try and untwist it with mediocre results. The 2nd con and prob what led to this grinder death, it’s kinda a btch to get the finely ground coffee out of the cup. If you use your fingers you get coffee grinds all up in your nails and it’s super hard to get out. If you like a coarser grind it shouldn’t be an issue. So bc I’m impatient and not wanting coffe grinds stuck under my nails all day, I’d bang on it when I was dumping it to try and get the coffee out. I now know there are little brushes you can get for that (but knowing me I’ll totally loose it). This just seems to be one of the overall cons for this type of grinder. There are pros and cons to the ones with removable cups too. One they’re pricer and I’ve had a couple that just didn’t seem to be as powerful. The upside of this grinder is the price, the speed and power. If they could make a retractable cord or a thing on the bottom where you could wrap extra cord up, it would make this grinder even better. I was actually going to reorder this grinder bc like I said the flaws are just the crap you deal with at this price point and this type of grinder; But I need a grinder ASAP and this one won’t come for a few days so I ordered a similar one with one same day shipping. I actually recommend this grinder, just watch the twisting cord and get one of those brushes if you do a fine grind. I think if you don’t smack it the way I did it’ll last a lot longer. Also the steel blades seem just as sharp as when I got them so def props for that. Edit: so I bought a different grinder bc I needed it ASAP bc I can’t live without my am and afternoon coffee. While I like the looks and weight of the new grinder (I bought it bc it had same day shipping, not for looks) I’m even more impressed with Mueller grinder after using it. It takes twice as long and is messier. I will def be re-ordering the Mueller grinder again bc I miss it already. I’ll have to wait a couple of weeks bc I’m broke, but I will def be Re-ordering. I’ll also try and be more careful with it. No banging in on the counter and smacking the side to get the coffee out. Since the other grinder came with one of those brush thingies, I’ll do my best not to loose it and use it with my Mueller grinder. It’s amazing how this relatively cheap, light weight grinder has beat out every other grinder I’ve tried in the last five years. It’s def the power and speed. Watching the new grinder grind I could see how much slower the blades rotate. It takes twice as long and while grinding I have to tap the grinder to get the bigger pieces to mix with the finer pieces in order to get a uniform final grind. So I def rec the Murller grinder!
