 Chic and efficient November 4, 2007

This little machine does an excellent job. We have to set it at its coarsest setting for our cafetiere, but the finished ground is comparable to that we used to buy from a specialist retailer. The cup setting (where you set it to mnake the amount of coffee you want to grind) is accurate and consistent.
We use it every day. It blew its fuse the second time we used it, but we replaced that and it has been fine for the four weeks since then.
Grinds perfectly, I cannot fault it September 21, 2008

This little machine (that's what I like about it - it's small and doesn't take up half of the kitchen) does a brilliant job and, if you use it correctly according to the instructions (which some of the 2* reviewers clearly haven't done), it produces consistant grinds and consistant amounts of coffee every time. I keep it next to my Krups coffee maker which is styled in the same way and it looks very attractive. It's a bit loud but then coffee grinders always are. I love it!

I recently acquired one of these as a replacement for one bought abroad which turned out to be faulty (Krups Customer Service is superb by the way).The unit itself looks quite elegant with a black body and a brushed steel finish. This is a burr grinder, so is suited to the coffee connoiseur who wants a smooth, even grind. You can alter the coarseness of the grind using a knob on the left hand side, and a control on the front lets you preset an amount to grind automatically. The on/off button is illuminated with a rather fetching blue LED when in operation. There are at least two "user level" safety mechanisms - the bean hopper lid, and the container for the ground coffee. If either are not in place fully, the unit will not operate - the top cover can be a little sensitive, and may need you to keep it pressed down while it grinds your beans. That small point aside, it does a fantastic job on espresso, and comes with a recommendation from me !
Affordable burr grinding, no hassle August 30, 2009

Simply pour in some beans, choose how many cups you'd like (divide the numbers on the dial by twofor espresso shots) and press the button. Fifteen seconds later, the ground coffee is ready to go. The grind itself is even, and while the fine settings make good espresso, the coarser settings are great in a cafetiere.

Firstly Id like to say that this grinder works fine once you read the manual. I did the typical blokey thing of having a play with my new gadget and on the first grind it didnt do much at all.
I then followed the instructions and there are very precice (but easy to carry out) instructions on how to reconnect the top section of the grinder. Once I did this it worked a treat. Yes when the beans get really low you may have to shake it a little but just dont let the hopper run too low is the solution to that one.
All in all for £35 you cant expect much more. The size is great and matches my Krups Espresso Machine.
