 Positive Review from a Vacuum Pot User March 13, 2010
Matthew Pearson (Omaha, Nebraska United States)
I primarily use a Cory vacuum pot (glass filter) and a Sunbeam vacuum with a metal mesh filter. I usually take my coffee to a shop to have it ground (or ground there) coarsely enough to work well (i.e. not clog up the filters). My blade grinder gives such an irregular grind that I'll have some half beans, some decently ground, and some super-fine powder.
This burr grinder does a decent job on the most coarse setting with some residual super fine powder. Tonight I just tried a fine grind, and yes, as some people say here, it's not a very fine grind, but it's not too horrible, though I personally have no need for a fine grind.
Good for drip grind but nothing finer March 11, 2010
James B. Crawford (Sequim, WA USA)
You get what you pay for. This grinder works well for the coarser grinds but will not grind fine enough for espresso.
 Noisy, Messy, Slow, Bulky...etc. March 8, 2010

I got this grinder as a Christmas gift. I have used it for about 2 months now. It looks like a serious grinder but that's about it. The darn thing is so noisy it could wake up the wife, the kids, the dogs and the neighbors. It sounds like it will explode at any second. It takes way too long to grind enough coffee to make two cups. It throws coffee grinds everywhere and is a pain to clean up. (They should have included a shop vac instead of a brush.) Even on the finest setting, It doesn't grind the coffee to the consistency you like unless yo like large chunks. (I have seen where others modify theirs to make it work better.... why?)
My old Black & Decker CBG100W is taped together but still works well. I have switched back.
Pathetic March 7, 2010
Pete (Wilkes-Barre, Pa)
This poor example has too many flaws, save your time and money.
Pros - Looks nice, small foot print, grinds a moderate amount of beans, price (I guess...).
Cons - Very inconsistent grind size, sprays grinds all over counter top, container does not fit into unit well causing grinds to cover the container, container feels flimsy. Despite changing the dial, this will spit out very fine powder which adheres like glue to the container and large uneven material.
Still trying to figure out why it was given to me by someone who has one... ("NEVER GIVE ANYTHING LESS THAN 4/5 STARS AS A GIFT," that's my motto!)
I will be applying the mod tonight for tomorrow morning's coffee, let's hope it works.
Worse than a blade grinder, so why bother March 2, 2010
R. Somers (Baltimore, Md)
Over the years I had heard that conical burr grinders are much better than blade grinders, but I always thought it's proponents to be gullible. My blade grinder worked just fine. It didn't "overheat" my coffee as far as I could tell, so what did I care if it used a blade or a burr? In fact, what the heck is a burr? But then I got into roasting green coffee beans myself, which puts one immediately in touch with the very upper-class coffee snobs. I soon started to get ridiculed by my fellow roasters: "What, you roast your own coffee but still use a blade grinder?" So, being the cheap fool that I am, I went to Walmart and bought one of these inexpensive Black and Decker burr grinders. It took me about a half hour with it to discover that even on it's finest setting it can only obtain a very very course grind and therefore results in a very thin, blah cup of coffee. So I stuck the brand new Black and Decker in the garage and put my old blade grinder back on the kitchen counter and my coffee tasted good again. I would never have bought another burr grinder myself, but my brother ended up giving me a Solis Crema Maestro burr grinder for my birthday. Well, I love it. I think the coffee does taste better, but who really knows since every pot of coffee tastes different to me anyway. But this Black and Decker thing is not to be taken seriously. It's a step backwards, not forwards. Don't make the same mistake I did. Keep using your blade grinder until your brother gives you a real conical burr grinder or you save up for a real conical burr grinder. Or just keep using your blade grinder; it's ok, I won't tell anyone.
