 Awesome Lello Ariete Burr Coffee Grinder February 24, 2010
Lucia Barretti (Peabody, MA)
This product is awesome. From the variable grinding options that run a full spectrum (very coarse to fine) to the selection of exactly how many cups one wishes to make. I've never had a fresher cup of coffee (FYI I use a french press;I grind exactly 2 cups and it's perfect every time. Love this product.
 Stand By! February 7, 2010
Pati Beardsley (W Coast of FL)
I am currently in the market for a new grinder. I purchased this one, after much research. I thought I was getting a good product, but I am not at all happy with it. I've had it for about 4 years, but it hasn't worked right for most of that time. You have to stand with it, holding the dispense cup tightly to the machine, so that it operates. The bottom of the dispense cup came apart a while ago, so I had to tape it back together. I would never recommend this piece to anyone. I paid $90 for it, through Amazon, and now look how cheaply they're selling it! I shouldn't have had to stand next to the machine, holding the catch compartment tightly to the machine. Ridiculous!
 3.5 years of service February 2, 2010
Dean Siewert (Madison, WI United States)
I purchased this in July of 2006. It has worked well for three and a half years. In that time we've made about 1400 to 1500, 10 cup pots of coffee. It is very loud and has a high frequency component to the sound that can be very penetrating. Plan to leave the room. I have tools in my wood shop that are more quiet. Grind is pretty consistent. It has a wide range of grinds but doesn't get as fine as I would like for espresso. I've used it almost exclusively for drip grind which is does quite well. As with many plastic-bodied units, it can develop a static charge while grinding which can result in quite a mess when you pour the ground coffee out.
Just recently we had a problem with the cutters shifting and I'm afraid the unit is at the end of it's life. I made a temporary fix but I'm looking for a replacement. My investment ended up being about 3 cents per 10 cup pot which I think is very fair. Because of that, I would rate it a good investment for the price.
Coffee technology is addictive. My previous grinder was a blade unit that sold for about half the price of this one. My next grinder will be quieter and be more facile at finer grinds, but I expect to pay at least twice as much as this one for the new unit. This really is a nice grinder for people early in their coffee addiction. It did what we asked it to do and held up for a reasonable period of time.
Great grinder November 8, 2009

We've been using this grinder for a year now. Daily, sometimes 2-3 times daily. It continues to perform well. Yes, it's loud - it's a grinder. Setting the grind coarseness is easy. Clean up is easy. We are very pleased with this product.
 I regret buying this $50 coffee grinder June 4, 2009
Laurel M. Palma (Woodstock, IL)
This $50.00 coffee grinder clogs up where the grounds come out. The plastic ground coffee receptacle is difficult to use because the top is not connected, so the top falls into the container, it falls off, etc. It is too high maintenance for my taste. I never used a burr grinder before and will never use one again. I bought this for our office use and want to return it for one that just grinds the coffee.
