Hamilton Beach Fresh Grind Electric Coffee Grinder for Beans, Spices and More, Stainless Steel Blades, Removable Chamber, Makes up to 12 Cups, Black

I've been using this coffee grinder for a few months and am very pleased with it. It is far quieter than my old Krups grinder, and the design is well thought-out. The cord is quite short, but that hasn't been a problem for me. It is great being able to store the cord and also remove the grinding cup for cleaning. It quickly grinds my coffee to my satisfaction.

I was given some coffee beans as a gift and needed a grinder. I ordered this one because of positive reviews and an affordable price. the order arrived quickly, was well packaged and damage free. I have had it for a several months now and have no issues so far. It does a great job at grinding the beans, doesn't make a mess everywhere and is easy to store when not being used.I have been pleasantly surprised at how well it works, and because of how easy it is to use - I don't mind buy coffee beans. =0)

After three years of use, I'm finally writing a review.This is a very simple coffee grinder. It spins at one speed setting, so if you want a course grind, then don't grind longer than 15 seconds. The longer you grind, the finer it gets.There are two removable parts: 1) the cap/cup (top), and 2) the cup/blade (bottom). This makes cleaning very easy.Here's how you use the grinder. 1) Plug in the electrical cord. 2) Fill the cup/blade with coffee beans. 3) Place the cap/cup onto the cup/blade. 4) Press the button for at least 15 seconds. 5) Unplug machine by gripping the plug. 6) Turn machine upside down so the coffee grinds fall into the cap/cup. 7) Remove the machine from the cap/cup. 8) Pour out grinds from cap/cup.I go through these steps because of some of the reviews. Some people say that they make a mess when they remove the cup/blade. I understand why. The cup/blade has fill lines. This implies that the cup/blade is intended to be removed during operations to remove the finished grinds. But no, do not remove the cup/blade with grinds in the cup/blade. Turn the machine upside down so that the grinds fall into the cap/cup. This is because the cap/cup removes easily, and the cup/blade does not remove easily. You will make a mess struggling with the cup/blade while it is full of grinds.Another review said the cord get damaged at the base when unplugging. This is an example of the need for detailed instructions. What is obvious to some is not always so. When you unplug, grip the plug and pull. Do not only hold the machine and yank the cord out of the electrical outlet. You will damage the connection between the cord and the machine.This coffee grinder is very simple, with a good design, well built and reasonably priced. Qualities that you want in any tool.

We make coffee nearly every single day. Our first purchase of this grinder lasted about 3 years before the wiring broke at the base from bending during unwrapping. The second purchase? Less than a year, same issue, even though we were extra careful when unwrapping it this time. Despite that fact, I am about to purchase this product for a 3rd time.The removable chamber makes it so much easier to not make a mess when pouring grounds into the filter, and makes clean up a breeze. I love that I could, in theory, use it for both coffee and spices with washes in between (I've never done it). The grind quality is pretty good (for drip coffee maker) and it works quickly, though is slightly loud. I like that the cord wraps up and is stored in the bottom, however a design improvement would be to move the hole that the wire comes out of slightly clockwise so that the cord is never bent backwards. (for my next one I will unscrew the extendable bottom and turn it myself, though the way it is designed you would have to complete an entire quarter turn so will only work if the cord is wrapped tightly enough. )Note: We only make 6 cups of coffee per pot, so filling the chamber to the top works well for us, however, if we have guests over we do need to refill and grind a second time to make a full pot.
