Product Description

Hamilton Beach’s Custom Grind coffee grinder prepares beans to the grind of your preference for up to 15 cups of coffee. A control on the grinder lets you opt for fine grounds to make espresso, medium grounds for brewing automatic drip coffee, or coarse grounds for use in a coffee percolator or French press. The grinder operates by pressing and holding the large, button on its front and automatically shuts off when the desired grind is achieved. The large, transparent lid has measurement marks for grinding exact amounts of coffee and has a wide mouth so you can easily empty grounds right into your coffeemaker. The Custom Grind has durable stainless-steel blades that are easy to clean and comes with a free measuring scoop. Hamilton Beach provides a 2-year limited warranty on this appliance. --Cristina Vaamonde

Smaller than you'd think

This coffee grinder works as well as other small coffee grinders I've used, and for about the same price you get multiple settings for different amounts and fineness of grind, and a retractable cord, all of which work very well. So clearly it is a good buy. Yet I have two complaints:
1. Since it has an automatic shutoff, it would be better if you didn't need to keep the start button depressed during grinding.
2. Okay, I like my coffee strong, but if this grinds 15 cups they are 15 very small and weak cups. More like three to five cups. It is very close in capacity to other small grinders.

Doesn't grind -- it powders!

If you like the bitter off-taste that comes from overextraction, then this is the coffee grinder for you. Even the coarsest setting grinds the coffee much, much too fine for good clean flavor. To get a decent grind requires pulling the plug before the grinder times out -- which obviously defeats the purpose of the custom settings. I give two stars instead of one because if you ignore the custom settings and time the grind process yourself it works OK.
