Operating at low heat to preserve flavor and aroma, this big, sleek coffee grinder can handle a whopping 90 grams of beans at once, enough for 18 cups, and it grinds spices at well. State of the art from its safety shutoff to its stainless-steel blade to its wraparound power cord, the grinder lends a modern look to any countertop. --Fred Brack

 Great grinder - so far July 24, 2010
William Bell (San Diego, CA)
I've had mine for a few weeks now, purchased after my Cuisinart Burr grinders motor gave up the ghost (after 4 years, so I really can't complain). I find this grinder to be very well designed, the cover has a unique little inner lip that keeps the coffee in the canister - very clever. I've had no problem with any of the fit and finish of the parts (I did pitch the rubber cover, it's useless, just leave extra coffee in the grinder with the plastic top in place). It's also much quieter than the Burr grinder - it's not silent - it is after all, a grinder. And I find that if I cycle the power a few times during the grinding process, I can get a very even grind (for 4-6 cups of coffee) after only 15-20 seconds. And this thing is inexpensive, half the cost of my Burr grinder and only a few bucks more than most other basic grinders. I purchased mine before reading all of the reviews here, and while I am hesitant based upon the previous reports, to-date, I am very pleased.
Poor performer, poor quality July 22, 2010
Lowegirl (Indiana)
I was disappointed in the performance as soon as I bought it, but decided to put up with it until it died. The grind was uneven, with some beans barely cut in half, despite the length of grinding time. I was relieved when the blade mechanism broke this week, 26 months after purchase.
Nice looking while it lasted... July 21, 2010
Eric So (State College, PA)
The grinder lasted about 8 months. It did its job if the grinder was filled to capacity but if you just wanted to grind a small amount it was inconsistent as to the grindy-ness you ended up with. When the motor finally cut out their customer service wanted me to find the credit card statement from when I bought it for a replacement. I guess I'm just used to tech companies just sending you a replacement no-questions-asked that this seemed like such a ridiculous request. Do NOT buy this product. Poor quality and poor customer service. Don't be lured by its attractive looks.
 Does not grind well July 21, 2010
Daniel Holt (New York City)
The best feature of this grinder is its large, removable grinding cup, which is easy to keep clean and makes it easy to get all the grounds into your coffee pot rather than all over the counter. But it is simply impossible to get even a more-or-less even grind; there's always a combination of properly ground coffee, too-fine powder, and big chunks. Examining the machine, I think part of the problem is that the blades themselves are not very sharp.
 It's perfectly fine for the price July 20, 2010
Mark
I have had this grinder for 3 or 4 months now. The minor complaints in here crack me up.
It's noisy. Big deal, you have running for 20 seconds or less at a time. Big trauma.
It doesn't grind perfectly. I paid $25 for it. I don't expect the equivalent of store grinder. In 20 seconds you can turn your coffee into powder with a few chunks left in the mix. Another big trauma.
For those people whose unit quit working. Legit gripe. Everyone else is nitpicking and forgetting how much they paid for the unit.
Easy to clean, grinds coffee and makes a little noise. $25 well spent as far as I can tell after 3 or 4 months.
