This smartly designed, finely tunable burr coffee grinder from Krups is built on the premise that good coffee starts with the freshest, most appropriate grind. Equipped with an expert-quality burr milling system, the machine turns out very consistent grounds with minimal heat for the best-tasting coffee. Its coarseness dial offers 17 distinct settings to create precisely the right grind for the occasion, brewing method, and kind of bean. In addition, the quantity dial, ranging from 2 to 12 cups, lets you grind no more coffee than you need, which helps preserve fresh aroma and flavor. Structurally handsome and easy to use, the grinder features a large transparent bean hopper with a clearly marked "max" line. The grounds container, also transparent, is lidded and removable for tidy transport to the espresso machine or French press. Simple maintenance is also a boon here--the burr removes for easy cleanup and Krups includes a cleaning brush for the hopper. Shiny and matte black with silver accents, the grinder looks dashing on the countertop without drawing excess attention to itself. It stands 10-1/2 by 4-3/4 by 5-3/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
Product Description
The secret to delicious, flavorful coffee is locked within the bean. Coffee that's not freshly ground may be tasty but time erodes the complexities and nuances of the distinct flavors. That's why serious coffee drinkers grind the beans directly before brewing. Be it for American Coffee or Espresso or French Press, the Krups GVX1-14 uses superior burr grinding known for releasing all those properties that help make the coffee bean unique. What you gain is a more delicious coffee. Frankly, isn't that what it's all about? Appreciate your coffee more with this burr grinder from Krups. Removable ground coffee container is dishwasher safe (top rack, please) Rubber feet keep grinder firmly in place Anti-static coffee container with lid holds up to 8 ounces of ground coffee for a 12-cup pot of coffee Blue illuminated On/Off Airtight bean hopper keeps beans fresh Special safety features - Will not operate unless lid to bean hopper and coffee container are in place

 One grind grinder November 9, 2008
Phil
This coffee grinder ground coffee the same consistency despite the setting. It didn't work for a french press as it was not coarse enough.
Dissapointed in the short life-span November 8, 2008
Coffee drinker (Seattle)
This grinder is smallish, quiet, and grinds evenly... for a while. After about a year (during which it has been cleaned regularly), it stopped taking beans into the grind mechanism - resulting in an uneven amount of ground coffee. In addition, it is also very messy - grounds get all over the place around the grinder while it is working, worse than other grinders I've used. Very frustrating... definitely not worth the price.
 Not good for the price October 26, 2008
temnik (NJ, USA)
I had to return it. It does not grind well (as in coarse) enough for french press, makes a lot of dust instead. Receptacle container is made of cheap plastic that causes coffee grounds and dust cling to it.
If you're looking for a garden variety grinder for medium fineness (for drip), $15 blade-type models would do the job for a fraction of price.
grind select failed, then timer October 23, 2008
Robert Evans (Massachusetts)
I bought this item about 18 months ago. After about a year of use, the grind selection failed, and it always produces a rather coarse grind. Then more recently the timer has stopped working, so I count to fifteen and turn it off by hand. This was a very inexpensive burr grinder, and while surely I was unlucky, it was too good to be true.
 The Difference in blade vs grinder coffee beans October 15, 2008
John Riggs (Sebring Florida)
I have been using a blade grinder for over twenty years, and was very satisfied with the results. Recently, I purchased a burr grinder that actually grinds the beans-a blade machine does not grind! My wife and I now understand why beans that are ground make much better tasting coffee. The Krups unit purchased through Amazon.com turns out to be one of the best units available under one hundred dollars. We certainly are pleased. I invite you to go to the internet and research this topic, and then purchase a grinder from Amazon-you definately will not be disappointed. JW RIGGS
