Excellent quality grinds!

Review Date: December 6, 2006

Reviewer: B. Hamrick, Portland, OR

I bought this grinder from my local coffee house on the recommendation of several of the employees at the shop. I've had it for almost 6 months and I couldn't be happier. I have used several other burr grinders, all of which have produced far more coffee dust than I would like. I use a press pot, so I use fairly coarse grinds, and the consistency of the grinds from this machine are perfect. I haven't had any problems with the grinder not functioning. The same button that turns it on turns it right back off. I honestly don't care how loud it is, as I would expect a coffee grinder to be loud. It is not difficult to clean at all. I just use the included bristle cleaner and a moist paper towel, it only takes a couple of minutes.

Excellent coffee!

Reviewer: Michelle Benjamin, Chicago, Illinois USA

A Chicagoan, I also love Portland's Stumptown coffees and finally found the perfect way to grind and enjoy the perfect bean. It took me one minute to set this unit up, and it hasn't let me down once. The aroma that comes out when I grind the beans makes coffee brewing all the more enjoyable. Since I purchased my own a few months back, I have bought a couple more units for coffee-lovers that I know. Totally worth the buy!

5 star grinder at a low price

Review Date: February 16, 2008

Reviewer: Evelyn Gallagher, New Jersey

I was skeptical at first from reading the reviews but I have to say this is the best grinder I have ever owned. I was intending on buying the more expensive model but as I was shopping I came across this model in the store and figured I would try it and if I wasn't happy it would be easier to return. I expected it to be very noisy as some have said when in fact it's very quiet. I have yet to experience clogs or a mess. After grinding it cleans up in seconds. As with any grinder cleaning should be done right after every use. It grinds as I select and no clumps or chunks as I have experienced with prior machines. I give this a 5 star in every way.

Perfect Grinder for a French Press

Review Date: April 20, 2008

Reviewer: Ryan William Bush, Lafayette, IN

This grinder works perfectly for people who use a French Press. I have owned this grinder now for 6 months and have used it almost every day. Grind size is always consistent. No real static issues to speak of. The only thing I would say is a "negative" is that you sometimes have to wiggle the grinder to get more coffee to feed in the burrs. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Awesome Burr Grinder

Reviewer: Carrie Jones,

My favorite thing about it is that it's so easy to clean! All you have to do is remove the empty bean container, lift the upper burr and clean inside the grinding chamber with a special brush that comes with the grinder. You can reuse it in less than a minute.
