 Rube Goldberg Grinder January 3, 2009
If you appreciate good design, do not buy this grinder.
Why?
- It's clunky
- Has way too many unnecessary parts
- The cord is so short that you'll probably have to unplug it every time to pour your coffee in your basket
- If you use the hinged lid to pour the ground coffee through, you will end up with grounds on your counter
- The chamber maid thing doesn't clean all of the grounds out
There are probably other bad points I could think of, but I'll save you the pain. On the up side, this thing actually grinds coffee pretty well. It's just not elegant, in the least bit. Stick with something simpler.
Poor Results, Gimmicky, Overly Complicated December 29, 2008
At around $20, this little blade grinder is cheap but suffers from a needlessly-complex design, poor performance, and useless gimmicky features.
Here's why I returned mine:
1. Too many piece-parts to lose, clean, assemble, and break.
2. A very inconsistent grind (far too many "fines" along with medium and large particles) that can cause sour and/or bitter flavors.
3. Difficult cleaning that can add stale/rancid flavors: many of those overly-fine grinds are impossible to remove because of the "cleaner arms" that don't actually work and are just in the way.
4. A useless grind timer that requires you remain holding the power button while beans are over-processed on virtually every setting.
CONCLUSION: 2 Stars instead of 1 because it is inexpensive and has lots of buttons and neato green LED lights!
fine for espresso and drip December 22, 2008
Really wanted a bean grinder that could grind for all types of coffee. The package said this one could, so I bought it. I didn't know much about coffee or coffee tools, so I had an excuse. This type of blade grinder is great for espresso (very fine) and drip (medium to fine), but when I try to do a course grind, it is impossible to grind all the beans without over grinding some. So when I use my coffee press I invariably end up with coffee bean in my mug.
If you want to use a French press, I would suggest a burr grinder which allows the beans to fall through the blades and into a separate container.
Consistent grinds for low cost December 15, 2008
We predominantly use our Black and Decker one-cup-at-a-time personal coffee maker, but it has a tendency to clog and overflow if the coffee grinds are too fine. While there are all sorts of pod/cartridge type single cup coffee makers out there, we prefer being able to choose any style, region, or brand bean we want and to grind them fresh. So because of the risk of the Black and Decker machine clogging with fine grinds, our current Krups grinder became a pain to use, e.g. the grinds were either too fine or not ground enough. We needed something that had some type of grind selection preset that wasn't going to break the bank and that wasn't a burr grinder (previously owned one a found it to be extremely messy and difficult to keep clean). After reading the specs and features of several units, we ultimately picked this grinder up at Target after reading the overall positive reviews for it on Amazon. No complaints. Good unit for the price and it does exactly what we needed it to do.
Mr. Coffee Electric Grinder met my coffee needs! December 7, 2008

Because I like to brew my coffee using a Bodum french press, I like to grind my coffee beans every morning to get the freshest tasting cup of coffee I can get. This coffee grinder is so easy to use and works very well! I've been using it for eight months now, and it's still going strong. Would definitely buy this product again if my current one breaks.
