Amazon.com Review
Combining the adjustable fineness selector of Krups's burr grinder with its built-in quantity control produces the perfectly tailored cup of joe. Start by choosing from 17 different textures ranging from very fine for espresso machines to very course for use in a French press. Next, determine the number of coffee drinkers and adjust the quantity setting accordingly. As the grinder begins its work, it uses a burr milling process to produce consistently ground beans while preserving the coffee's natural aroma. The machine automatically stops once the designated quantity has been achieved and the coffee extracts easily via a removable container. Topped with a large capacity hopper, the grinder fills effortlessly and provides easy access to its removable burr for cleaning. Measuring 10 by 4-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, this tool comes with Krups's 1-year warranty. -- Amy Arnold

 Smooth, quick, quiet coffee grinder August 26, 2008
David C. Mcgaffey (CA, USA)
I chose this burr grinder to replace a high-quality but fragile Bodum machine I got tired of repairing. I wish I had done so years ago. After careful cleaning and setup (NECESSARY) I get small quantities of perfectly ground coffee delivered quickly and quietly from a machine which occupies little counter space. This burr grinder does exactly what you want and does it well.
 Quiet and Easy to Use August 22, 2008
Donald C. Dutton (Clovis California)
This grinder replaced a Braun that we had used for over 12 years, but the change in the Braun to a fixed hopper left us looking for something else. The Krups is incredibly quiet compared to the Braun and the settings are even easier to use. Grind coarseness is set by a knob on the side and can be changed at will. The amount of coffee ground is set by a knob on the front and is very accurate for the way we like our coffee. The hopper slides out and is narrower making it easier to empty into our coffee machine without spilling grounds. Yes, coffee sticks to the plastic hopper, but it rinses off easily and is ready for the next grinding chore quickly. We are very happy with this machine.
 Don't Buy, It Breaks August 16, 2008
Scott P. Libson (New York NY)
For a cheap grinder, it grounds alright, but the safety features are extremely small and they can break off easily. Once they break, you may as well throw the grinder in the trash.
 Spend more and get something better August 6, 2008
Christopher Bonds
This machine was our first experience with a burr grinder. We owned it for a little over a year. One day it just quit. While it worked, as others have said, it got the job done but required a lot of fussing around to find the right settings. Sometimes the beans would get stuck in the hopper and the motor would race. Static cling was often a problem (this seems to be weather-related). It was difficult to remove the top half of the burr wheel for cleaning. The grinder surfaces were small, and the whole thing just didn't seem very durable. I am now in the market for something better.
OK...but not great July 29, 2008

I have owned this grinder for less than 3 years. I use it 4-5 times a week on average. I grind only for myself.
Last week I pushed the grind button and it disappeared inside the grinder.
I sent it to a certified Krups repair and was notified that the parts necessary to repair were no longer available (remember it is less than 3 years old and this model is still for sale).
I would urge potential buyers to shop around and spend a little more for another manufacturer.
