Oily beans killed my unit! February 13, 2010
J. J. Drew (Wisconsin, USA)
I got 3 good years out of this grinder, but there are more minuses than positives. It is consistent, easy to use and very inexpensive compared to many others. The immediate downside for me is that you have to hold the power button on; very noisy compared to others; and this unit is easily killed by fresh, oily beans. I have ground dozens of batches of inexpensive, store-bought beans with no problems. I did 3 batches of freshly, French roasted beans and the unit died. Cleaning & rescue proved to be too difficult to justify more hours, so it is headed for the junk pile! I have had a DeLonghi unit that's much easier to use and is twice as old and a smaller foot print, but i will have to beg to get it back. Using a blade grinder on the oily beans is my only choice now. Actually, I use a French press for brewing and a blade grinder is sufficient, imho.
 Bad all around February 4, 2010
Courtland Creekmore (San Diego, CA)
This grinder is just a bad product all around, except for its looks. The grinder is slow; the receptacle slips off its base and has to be simultaneously held in while holding down the side activation button; the coarseness indicator wheel is unreliable; grinder creates excess dust; narrow delivery chute requires cleaning and inspection much too often; receptacle's flimsy cover falls off easily and spillage is way more common than with any other grinder I have ever used; grinder requires constant agitation or tapping in order to get beans to feed into burrs at constant rate. Even at $25, the hassles of a regular, slow dusty mess every morning make this a DO NOT BUY.
I have had other Black and Decker home repair products that worked great, but this little number is a bad egg.
useless for espresso grind February 1, 2010
frisco mama (San Francisco, CA USA)
I could almost kick myself for not reading reviews before I shopped. I figured it might suit someone who just wanted a regular grind for an automatic drip or something. Apparently, it is just as bad at that. So, I got a cheap coffee grinder and I would still like to have a coffee grinder that actually works. I should have taken it back, but by the time I faced that truth I had lost the box and receipt.
Terrible, just Terrible! December 14, 2009
E. Van Cise (Houston, TX United States)
I just have to add my review even thought it is a repeat of so many others. Here is a great, longer review that sounds exactly like the problems we've had:
http://www.amazon.com/review/R19H8C1S856T69/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
For the first month we had this (got it as a gift so at least it was free) it worked "ok." It creates a huge mess, though, and you spend as much time cleaning coffee grounds up off the counter as you do grinding coffee.
After a month, though, it started smoking. This was the first time we ran into the grinder clogging up. It was so clogged that the grounds were a think, molasses type of mess. There's no easy way to get in to the bottom of the grinder to clean it up, but we managed after some struggle and mess. The very next use - it was all gummed and jammed up again! This thing is not easy to clean, does not work well, and has been very frustrating. Save your money and buy something else.
 great for the money November 27, 2009

This product has worked well for me for over 3 years. One downside: it produces a fine dust which gets stuck to the inside of the grinds compartment. This wad of coffee dust needs to be avoided when dumping the grinds into your pot or maker, otherwise you'll over-extract your coffee, clog your filter or add sludge.
For the money, I can't complain, and it's at least better than a blade grinder.
