This coffee grinder leaked coffee down inside the motor rendering it useless within two weeks of receiving it.
 Lasts a LONG time! June 19, 2008

I got one of these in 1992 and never bought pre-ground coffee again. It's lasted more than 15 years with no problems until the very end when the plastic casing at the top of the actual blade broke away. We have coffee daily so we got a lot of use out of this grinder. And because we had such a great experience with our first one, I'm definitely ordering another to replace it for the next 15 years!

This burr grinder is perfect for my needs. It grinds the beans to my choice
each time.
We Need a Replacement and I Think I'm going to buy the SAME thing again! June 16, 2008

We got this coffee grinder as a gift back in 2002 I believe. It was our first grinder so I had nothing to compare it to but I liked it.
The pluses would be fast grinding and evenly ground as long as you grind it long enough. My husband would only hold the button down for about 12 seconds and the coffee he made is/was always weak and had whole and partial beans left. When I taught him to hold it to the count of 15-20 his coffee suddenly got much, much better! *grin*
It's easy to use with only one push button so there is little to mess with, no electronics to go 'wrong' and works well. I've used it for coffee beans, almonds, flax and spices although it's primarily used for coffee.
The downsides; It's loud! We regularly grab a kitchen towel, set it on the counter, put the coffee grinder in the middle of it, wrap the towel around and then push the button. Even this way it still wakes one of our kids in the morning so if I remember, I grind the beans the night before and program the coffee pot.
Another downside; if the plastic opening where the button presses down is filled with coffee dust it plugs and it won't work until you systematically clean it all out.
We do find it gets grounds all over the counter, but after reading a hundred reviews of other coffee grinders this seems rather universal.
Coffee grounds do tend to get 'stuck' on the bottom and will need to be swept out with a brush or your finger. It's just second nature and habit to us to lift the whole grinder after it's finished, holding the top on while we turn it upside down and give it a couple good 'whacks' with the palm to empty all the grounds into the plastic cup before pouring it into the coffee maker. This gets out most of the grounds unless your beans are really oily.
My daughter knocked ours off the counter and the clear plastic cap smashed to the floor and big piece of it broke off the side. We can still use it but spill a lot of grounds if we are not really (really!) careful. For this reason I was looking to replace it as a new plastic cup would be almost as much as a new grinder. After reading a hundred reviews I'm really close to reordering this *same* grinder again.
I guess I like it even more than I knew! 6 years now and ours is still going strong....
