 Death coffee grinder! February 10, 2010
Adrian Archer (Ottawa, Ontario Canada)
I have seen other people complain about this too. The coffee grinder sometimes keeps grinding even with the lid off. Do not buy.

If I were this grinder's parent it would be GROUNDED for bad design. Whoever designed it was clearly not a coffee drinker of coffee made from freshly ground beans. While this coffee grinder does the job (2 stars awarded for functioning out of the box), there are several elements of this grinder that really just stink.
1) The cap. The cap design is probably an example of the least thoughtful engineering I have ever seen. The button that engages the grinding function on the motor unit/base extends from outside the cap like a thin spindly finger, almost like it is silently flipping you the bird because you woke it up too early in the morning to do its work. The worst part (and the reason I wrote this review): the capacity of the cap is LESS than base cup. This means if you grind more coffee beans than can fit in the lid (not even 2 cups worth), you will end up spilling the grounds EVERYWHERE if you try to use the cap to dump into your coffee filter/press/what-have-you. You will need to use the motor unit to pour the grounds, and this is quite awkward, and pretty ridiculous.
2) The cord. Speaking of pouring grounds out of the base, keep in mind that you'll probably need to unplug the cord before doing so. Unfortunately, the cord is not easy to wrap up beneath the base, so plan to leave this unit out on your counter. Additionally, there is no way to secure the cord easily such that it doesn't protrude from under the base in a haphazard manner while you're grinding it. Plan to steady it with one hand and press the grinder with the other.
3) The grinder does not handle large amounts of beans very well. It has a pretty powerful motor so what happens if you "overload" (read: 2 servings worth of beans which is about 2 oz) the grinder, the beans near the blades get overground and really fine. Forget about using the French press for this one unless you want to grind one bean at a time or you really enjoy your morning cup of sludge.
Moral of story: Black & Decker is good at power tools. Put your $20 toward a nice set of drill bits instead.
 great grinder July 17, 2009

This grinder is so nice. Makes the whole coffee making process fun. I feel like a real pro.
perfect so far February 25, 2009
Mary C. Frederick (Colorado)
So far, this grinder has been perfect. It is my second Black and Decker; the first was a different model that lasted for years. I had tried two different brands, neither of which worked nearly as well as the B&D. I use it mainly to grind up grape-nuts slightly! But it has also done well on coffee beans and to make bread crumbs. I'm surprised to read about the problem; I'll be on the lookout for it.
This needs to be recalled! February 5, 2009

This Black & Decker CBG100S Coffee Grinder needs to be recalled!
Mine worked just fine for about 6 months and then it malfunctioned the last time I used it. It ran without me pushing the on button and it continued to run without the lid in place. I think this is very dangerous! I have been using it about 4 times a week, and only for coffee beans. It had never been dropped or anything. It was clean and there is no reason for it to have done this.
