 Messy and Cumbersome August 19, 2008
Clerk Kent (In the heart of Dixie)
The grinder cleaner arms are useless - in fact, not only do they not keep the bowl clean, they require additional work to get them clean too.
The flip top lid is useless - unless you like static electric charged coffee grounds flung over your counter.
The electrical cord is useless - it is so short it won't even reach from the outlet to the edge of the counter.
The grinder timer is useless - you still have to hold the switch on to make it operate - not that it's a big woo, but if there are going to be bells and whistles for a timer - at least make it stop on it's own.
The cover and bowl mechanisim is very cumbersome to reassemble.
All in all - the grinder is not worth having.
I returned mine.
 Too many plastic parts - not good for making espresso. August 18, 2008
Jerel Mcdonald (Tucson, AZ USA)
This grinder tries to do a bunch of fancy stuff - i.e., time how long to grind your coffee. But if you can't determine this by sound alone - you haven't ground much coffee.
It has a bunch of plastic parts that make up the bowl. There's the button piece which sits within a lid on a plastic hinge (that will soon break I'm sure). This is attached to the top part that makes the "chambermaid" that consists of some thin plastic pieces that will soon break. All of this comes apart at unexpected times from the lower part of the bowl, which is also plastic.
The bowl is very big and the lid is cumbersome, so it's hard to get the grounds to pour into my espresso machines holder. Mostly I end up with grounds all over the place. The chamber maid just traps grounds inside the bowl. Also the chambermaid and the odd lid prevent me from using a scoop to get the grounds out.
To be fair, this might work great for a large coffee maker and if you only use the medium or coarse grind settings - but I still hate all of the plastic parts.
I much prefer a simple grinder with a lid that sits into a metal grinder. But if you like doodads, have a big filter bowl, and want the grinder to figure out how long to grind, this one would be fine.
If you're making espresso, skip it.
Nice grinder for the money. August 1, 2008

It's inexpensive, efficient, and seems to be well made. The "Chamber Maid" system seems to me a bit gimmicky -- it doesn't seem to do anything that could be done with a couple of taps on the side of the bowl. In fact - I usually do that instead. I don't miss the feature, so I don't consider it a bad point that it doesn't really seem to be effective.
It grinds quickly and seems to do it pretty evenly, too. It is definitely loud though. Being the first one up in the morning, the coffee making is my job. Since access to our garage is through the kitchen, I just step out into the garage and run the grinder so I don't wake anyone up.
 Simply Amazing! July 17, 2008

I'm so glad I went with this inexpensive grinder instead of splurging on an expensive burr grinder. This little $20.00 gem does everything it's supposed to, grinds quickly & course for my new french press and cleans up really easily. If this lasts six months I will be happy and buy another but there's no indication it won't last. Love it!
Good...while it lasted... July 4, 2008

I was looking for a spice grinder and this came up as one of the grinders in the amazon search. After purchase, the manual informs that it could only be used for coffee beans. I am not much of a coffee drinker hence, used it for grinding spices only. Did not last longer than 4 months. Got burned out...when powdering sugar for baking. Guess it can only be used for coffee beans. Worked fine while it lasted.
