KRUPS Precision Burr Coffee Grinder: 12 Settings, 8 oz Capacity for Drip, French Press, Espresso, Pour Over, Cold Brew - Stainless Steel, 110W, Auto-Stop, Easy Clean - Coffee Grinders for Home Use

I ordered this based on price, brand reputation and basic functions. Simply put, this is the best you can hope for before spending hundreds of dollars for the same outcome- precision ground beans. The general grinders we all used have thin blades that chop up the beans unevenly, whereas, this model uses burr based grinders for industrial quality results, just like the ones in every roasters shop. But it, enjoy it, clean it and you'll love the uptick in the flavor of your coffee!

This is my third flat burr grinder. So some things you should all know about this style of coffee grinder. First they ALL make loud noises. They ALL have static that spread finer grinds in the grind container. This one however has much more static than the others used but I have a very good method of dealing with it I have a nice flat paintbrush that I brushed down the grinds to the bottom does not take long. Now this grinder has a few different stylistic innovations that I think are very good. First, lid to sleep sleep bean hopper not removable. At first I thought this was awkward but on second thought is one less thing to deal with putting lid back in the proper place. Second top burr is attached to a very long post which at first I thought would be awkward. But I'm testing it out it was much much easier to remove and put back in the short, stubby top burr. If you follow the instructions it is much much simpler. On first grinding I note that the grinds are all evenly done as I'd like for French press. With previous grinders I would very carefully clean out the exit port for the grinds and found there always a nice amount of grinds that were stuck in there I would take them out with my paintbrush. In this instance I did not note any great amount of grinds stuck in the port. The long brush provided is excellent for cleaning the top burr. LOVE the design, no top piece for grinding hopper, brush slides into stem oftp burr making cleaning easy, brush is wider and with long handle MUCH easier& way more efficient than the standard teeny ones AND it IS quieter than the other burr grinders For Sure. Also much less static consistand grind qand WAY less grind to clean from exit point. Quiet, FAST, easy clean, VERY regular in grind, WAY less static spray , 2X capacity (which I never will use) Just love it. We shall see how it goes in 3 to 4 months.

I've been using this grinder since October 2022, and it's still going strong. I chose it because it was under $100 and had excellent reviews, and it hasn't disappointed. I primarily use it for dark roast beans, and the grind settings work well for my percolators, moka pot, V60, and Aeropress. While it occasionally gums up with impacted grinds, it's fairly easy to unclog—though a bit messy. The static in the container is manageable, but a better solution to prevent it would be appreciated. The measurements on the front are handy, though I usually weigh my beans before grinding. Adjusting the grind gauge can be a little tricky, but it gets the job done. I also like the kill-switch safety features that stop the grinder if the lid is open or the container isn't properly inserted. The biggest downside is the noise—it's extremely loud. People often comment on it when they're nearby. That said, it performs significantly better than a blade grinder, and for the price, it’s a solid option that suits my needs.

Replacing a 20 year old unit from them with this. Scared me at first...put in the beans, heard noise and nothing seemed to be happening...then COFFEE!!! It works well on my 3 Sisters coffee beans but have not tried it grinding my spices. I am scared that this guy won't handle nutmeg, though.

I just got this and used it for the first time, so this is only my first impression. I'll try to come back and update this review after some more time and usage. I'll list a few weirdnesses/problems, from my first use: 1. I selected 7 on the number-of-cups dial, as a cautious first try, to grind a batch of beans for making cold brew in an 8-cup French press. I poured in way more than enough beans in the intake hopper, or so I thought (I put in 2 very heaping tablespoons of beans per "cup"), and pressed the On button, assuming it would grind 7 cups' worth of beans and stop with some still left in the hopper. I was surprised that it went through all the beans I'd put in the hopper, and was still going, when I had to shut it off because the hopper was empty. This was way way more than what I usually use, to make a fairly strong batch of cold brew in my 8-cup French press (typically I use maybe 2 level-not-heaping tablespoons of beans per "cup). The grounds filled the French press more than halfway, just with the grounds, before adding any water! and this was with the # cups set to 7 not even 8, and with having shut it off after it ran out of beans to grind. So something seems way off, in its idea of how much per "cup" on its the number-of-cups dial? I scooped out half of the grounds from the French press, to approximate how much I usually use to make a reasonable batch of "8 cups" of cold brew. So I guess I'll have to set the number of cups way down to something like half (maybe 4?), on the grinder, of the number of cups given on the side of the French press, next time (i.e. 8)? [edited: used it again and set the number of cups to 6. This produced only a little more than I wanted, for the cold brew in the 8-cup French press (I scooped out the extra, enough to make a decently strong batch of hot brew in a separate 2-cup French press I have). Next time I'll try setting it to 4 or 5 cups, and see if that matches my expectations, for how much I put in the 8-cup French press for a reasonably strong batch of cold crew.] 2. I set the coarseness to something near the maximum, as shown in the instructions, past #10 and into the "swoosh" icon, since I'm making cold brew. When I ran the grinder, most of the output was satisfactorily coarse, but there was some fine powder, stuck to the side of the output container. Not too much fine powder, just a few clumps, but still disappointing; when I use a manual burr grinder on a coarse setting, I don't get any fine powder like this. [edited: see uploaded photo of the output bin, showing some unwanted/unexpected very fine powder caked together near the top, above the expected/wanted coarse grind below] 3. The instructions are a little confusing. At first I wasn't sure about the "removable upper burr", if it was needed or not, or if was optional, since it could be removed like the brush that's stuck in it? the instructions don't say you need the upper burr to be in place. Only at the end, in the "Maintenance" section, does it mention this upper burr, where it says to remove it for cleaning (so I guessed that meant you DO need it in place for grinding, if it expects you to remove it for cleaning). 4. Cleanup is a little difficult, with the fine powder stuck to everything, even though I'd used the coarsest setting so I didn't expect any such fine powder at all. My previous grinding experience, for reference: as I mentioned, nowadays I'm making cold brew, in a French press. Years ago (when I was using an Aeropress which wants finer grinds) I inherited an electric blade grinder, which can only produce very fine grind since it keeps slicing the same beans/grinds over and over. So once I began using the French press, and especially once I started making cold brew in it, I bought a manual ceramic burr grinder, a Kyocera (same as a Hario?) and used that for a while, OK but output is uneven, and there's no lid, so it's prone to spilling beans while I'm grinding, especially since sometimes it gets stuck on a bean in its craw and the handle jerks out of my hand, thereby rocking the whole thing so that some beans spill out. Then I got a Hario ceramic burr grinder, the high end super upgraded model with improved ceramic burr mechanism for more even output (?) and a lid to prevent beans from spilling out. Used that for a couple of years, until the ceramic burr got stuck on some beans and broke, the whole ceramic burr block split in half! Went back to the Kyocera for a while, again with no lid and uneven output. Then decided to try this electric Krupps burr grinder as a treat.

This is, without any doubt or equivocation, the finest grinder that I have ever owned. It is certainly a tremendous value especially at the sale price at which I purchased the item. It is noisy! However, I would be noisy too if the first thing that I had to do each morning was to fill my mouth with coffee beans and then, with my teeth, grind up enough for a couple of pots of coffee. Trust me on this, I would be howling, and growling, and barking out a LITANY of profane epithets, unceasingly!! There are settings for volume of bean to be ground in order to meet the liquid demands, and enough settings to grind the beans precisely as I like them. This setting, obviously, will be determined by the coffee blend as well as the apparatus that is employed to tackle this task. Along with the preferential whims of the human behind the magic!! Quality coffee brewing is NOT a task for the faint at heart. Their very state of emotional and physical wellness may depend upon their level competence, passion, and level of expertise, that are mandated by the task of conjuring up that precious morning commodity :) The machine has a very large bay into which I poor the appropriate amount of product, being careful not to overfill beyond my immediate need. The machine has an exceptionally large bean capacity. I use one heaping coffee measuring scoop per cup of coffee. Subsequently, I fill the bean bay up 2/3 of the way. This is the maximum amount of grounds that the coffee ground catch basket will hold. Furthermore, the filters won't accommodate beyond that ... at all!!! I no longer subscribe to the old men's tales that the consumption of a combination of slices of hockey puck look'n toast, dipped into a 12 oz. cauldron of spoon dissolving coffee, that has the same color, flavor, and texture as the aforementioned toast, will put hair on my chest. Lastly, the negligible amount of finely ground coffee that escapes the clutches of the grounds receptacle is hardly worth mentioning. I utilize the grinder as it sits on either a dish rag, or dish towel. This completely alleviates any concerns of coffee dust on my counters. It also absorbs all of the vibration of the grinder on the counter, which effectively lowers the decibel level of the grinding process. As well designed and crafted as this grinder is, again, I genuinely believe that it is going to outlast me!! Hence, it will be welcome an appropriate comrade to accompany the KOFFEE tamper that I use to PACK the grounds into the filter. The end result of this entire process is DARK STRONG, BLACK, HOT KOFFEE!! Yep, and it all starts with, and depends upon, my trusty Krups Precision Flat Burr Grinder :)

Great value for a good bean grinder. It gives a nice consistent grind. I’m very happy with this purchase

So I got this KRUPS Precision Burr Coffee Grinder thing for my apartment. it's pretty standard stuff - you pick your grind setting and then the number of cups you want to make (which is kinda cool because who wants to measure out coffee beans?). The motor seems powerful enough though i did have one time when it struggled a bit with some really oily beans, but that was only once. I guess this thing works well enough for its purpose - grinding coffee beans into different sizes depending on what you're making (pour over is my favorite). It comes with a little cleaning brush too, which is handy because the grounds get everywhere when you open it up (i mean seriously, who designed that? Couldn't they have thought of something else?). The grinder has a stainless steel body and looks pretty decent on the counter. It's got 12 settings for different grind sizes - from coarse to fine - which is more than enough for me. I mostly use it for medium grinds, but hey, options are nice right? One thing i noticed though was that some of the finer settings did produce a lot of heat when grinding, and i'm not sure if that affects the flavor or not (maybe someone smarter can figure that out). Overall, this grinder is pretty good. It does what it needs to do without too much fuss. Just be prepared for coffee grounds EVERYWHERE when you clean it - seriously, get a dustpan handy.

It doesn’t get your coffee fine enough at all Super disappointed as I did a lot of research My view , just buy powder unless you live next to a coffee plantation . As powder and beans are packed the same into sealed containers and the powder saves all the mess and roaches that follow even a micro coffee ground left over after grinding

Muy bien.

I recently purchased this grinder to use in my RV. It is relatively small and can grind up as few as two cups of coffee. The coffee works great in my single cup coffee machine. I wish they made a machine with a bean hopper that allowed you to switch between decaf and caffeinated coffee but I haven't seen any. Alternatively I could use a second ground coffee hopper for holding both types of coffee but for now it works just as expected. I would purchase it again.

Good value and performance for our daily grind before we start our daily grind. This metal flat burr grinder was purchased to replace a disappointing Cuisinart conical burr grinder that died after about a year's use. Significantly quieter in operation, which is definitely a morning-time bonus. Handy built in brush for cleaning the nooks and crannies of coffee dust, the hopper holds at least twenty cups worth of beans (though can grind max 12 cups at a time). Variable settings from espresso to drip to French press. Good value and quality for someone who appreciates a decent cup of fresh ground coffee but isn't a total purist

Compré este producto luego de leer varias de las reseñas y específicamente para moler café muy fino para espresso. Me decidí pese a los comentarios negativos, porque no encontré algún producto perfecto o a ese precio. Muele muy bien el café para el espresso, pero para mi gusto hay que utilizar la posición más fina. Yo suelo no variar mucho la medida de tazas, y pongo específicamente la cantidad de grano que quiero moler, así que no noté lo que comentaban que no molía de manera uniforme luego de cambiar el número de tazas. En cada molienda, sale cierta cantidad super fina de café, sin importar el grueso de grano que se seleccione. Es algo con lo que puedo vivir, pero es un punto a mencionar. Me encanta como queda el grano troceado para la prensa francesa y el café para la cafetera de filtro. Es realmente muy diferente a los molinos de de aspas y es menos complicado de obtener el molido que quieres ya que conoces el aparato. Finalmente, no me pareció ruidoso, hace el ruido que pudiera esperarse del proceso de molido, y tampoco tuve problema de estática como por ahí comentó alguien.
