Amazon.com Review
Nothing beats a freshly ground, freshly brewed cuppa joe to start the day, and with this grinder, you can have up to 20 cups' worth of beans at a time. The understated black color and contemporary oval design fit in well with any kitchen décor, while the small size (just 6 inches high) doesn't take up too much premium counter space. Stainless-steel blades guarantee a long life and an even grind, whether you use this grinder for coffee, spices, nuts, or even whole grains. --Jill Lightner

 wish it had a spout June 28, 2008
B. Smith (Texas)
The grinder grinds well. However, I like the type of kitchen grinder which can hold beans, grind beans, and has a spout for the ground beans to come out of-so one dosen't have to add beans every time. This grinder has to have beans put into it each time one grinds, then the ground coffee has to be emptied each time-a big hassle in my opinion. But it will be useful, due to the small size, for travel grinding, for fresh coffee on the road, one cup at a time.
Good Little LOUD Coffee Grinder June 23, 2008
Alexis Cordova (San Francisco, CA)
I ended up purchasing the Krups Fast Touch Coffee Grinder because I was tired of waiting for all the little old ladies to finish grinding their 15 bags of coffee at the grinding station at Costco. I have a Krups espresso maker, so I figured this would be a good match.
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. The grinder takes only 3 ounces at a time, but there really isn't a need to grind more unless you have 25 people in your household drinking coffee at any given time. It doesn't grind it as fine as I'd like (the big fancy industrial grinders at Costco grind it turkish, which is what I prefer), but it does the job.
My only complaint is that this thing is LOUD. Like, chainsaw loud. Who knew this little machine could make so much noise. My girlfriend says it shouldn't be this loud, and I haven't read the manual to see what the trick is to get it grind more fine grounds (who reads the manual anyway?), but overall, worth the $20.
 Repeat buy June 14, 2008
A. Buehler
I bought this grinder in 1992. I can attest to quality and longevity of use. I am thrilled to be buying an exact replacement. It does a really good job of grinding beans (also walnuts) to perfection, very quickly. I also found turning the grinder upside down so that ground material dispenses from the cap is the least messy.

I have been using my Krups grinder for 30 years! It' great! I am purchasing a second one to keep on our boat.
Sturdy, Dependable and GREAT GRINDING June 5, 2008
Sojourner Wolf (St. Louis, MO)
I have owned my Krups 203 grinder since they came in brown (that's a long, long time ago). It still works just as well as when I first bought it. Though it has no bells and whistles or the 2 bazillion grind grades of more expensive models, a little judicious judgment gets me the grind I want for whatever bean I am using including a fine powder. Not overfilling the grinder helps as does putting the beans in the cap then turning the grinder upside down to connect them to avoid spilling the beans. Cleans easily, too, though I heartily recommend UNPLUGGING the grinder before wiping it out with a paper towel. Also, wash the cap with water only just like a coffee pot to avoid adding unwanted soap flavor. The handful of negative reviews that complain of breakage puzzles me as simple as this machine is. (One negative reviewer even claimed it "the coffee it made was very, very hot and weak." which obviously the grinder has nothing to do with the actual brewing.)
