 Thoughts upon Leaving the Old Mill September 4, 2003

Good price.
Looks good.
Oval shape is supposed to improve the grind! Certainly it makes it nice to handle and empty.
Looong lead might be useful to some, a bit of a nuisance to us.
Switch on the lid: handy, but equally, easy to press by accident.
It hasn't lasted long. Less than 2 years, already making a nasty screech, as of disintegrating bearings. Maybe we were unlucky, or maybe twice a day is more use than it can stand.

Grinds beautifully - certainly I've had none of the problems others report. Ours is in its 4th year and going strong; birthday present for my better half from his sister, we haven't looked after it especially well and it's been used every day since we've had it. A grind setting (espresso, filter etc) would make it even better, but as it is I really can't complain. Mind you, it's turned me off instant/ready-grind forever, so I'm not sure my purse is too happy...!

Our Krups grinder has just broken down after 8 years constant use. It has survived being dropped on the floor and being shaken around by over enthusiastic grindees. I'm just about to buy another one. Krups are the Rolls Royce of all things coffee - look no further.
VERY FAST GRINDING OF SMALL QUANTITIES April 21, 2006

Gosh! How quickly do you want to grind coffee beans? This little gizzmo whizzes up coarse in 8 seconds, medium in 12 & fine in 16 seconds. The only thing is that you, as the operator, have to judge how long to hold down the press-button switch but once you've mastered that plus watching progress through the transparent cover, it literally only takes seconds to produce enough grounds for "10" cups as marked on my drip coffee maker or, if you like to drink from big mugs like me, enough for 4 mugs.
Suggest new users first count to 10 before letting go of the button and then vary their count according to taste.
Would be 5 stars but the simple push-button switch is not idiot proof. Nevertheless, great value!

I grind a lot of spices as part of my semi-professional job as an Asian Chef. This by far has been the best of this type of grinder, but it suffers from the same fault as most of its competitors; it does not stand up to grinding spices Cumin or similar that contain certain chemicals that corrode metal and plastic. This grinder lasted less time that my previous types e.g. Moulinex, Braun before it seized (because of cumin damage to the bearing). If you want to maitain any of these types of grinder my advice is: Never allow any dampness near the grinder area as the bearing on this machine is more susceptible to rusting, just clean it out with a dry brush and if necessary a cloth dipped in a little oil; and aways wash the plastic top in warm soapy water not the dishwasher. Why can't manufactureres produce a spice grinder that is not susceptible to spice damage and will not rust and seize. There must surely be a very large demand for electric grinders specifically for spices these days.
