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

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 :)

I like fresh ground coffee in the morning. This grinder is adjustable for your special grind. It has a fairly large collection cup so I can grind 2 pounds quickly. KRUPS is a personal favorite that always performs well.

NEW REVIEW: Although I'm not thrilled with it, I've learned to adapt to what it wants to produce. After being disappointed and annoyed every morning for a week, I was pleased one day when it ground for a count of 10 and produced exactly what I wanted for 2 mugs of coffee. The next day - same thing, 2 mugs worth, and a month later, still the daily desired 2 mugs worth. OLD REVIEW: I like the overall size. BUT I have attempted repeatedly to adjust the quantity of coffee and now have it on "2" but it still produces enough ground coffee for "8." There is no setting lower than 2 so I'm stuck with either throwing out the excess ground coffee or saving it for the next day, which defeats the intention to have freshly ground coffee. I have the same problem with the quantity no matter what grind setting I choose - fine for espresso or coarse for percolator - my typical brew being a pour over filter. I've tried contacting Krups but the contact is only by phone and no one ever answers, or by email which they warn can take a very long time. Hence I plan to return this $45 item and search again for something less noisy and more accurate.

Bought this grinder for my wife who loves fresh ground coffee. It works perfectly! What she especially loves about it is that it does the measuring for you so no more guessing the correct amount of grounds to add. Does a great job and seems well made so hopefully will last a long time

I purchased this because it is Krups, pure and simple--German. That means nothing anymore. The grind selection is counter-intuitive (opposite reason), the per cup amount of grinding on front is senseless: I first turned to 6 for the number of cups I would make (6) and it stopped grinding (high pitched "no-grind" sound) with coffee beans still in hopper. Then moved the number to 8, then 10 with the same result. It will not stop automatically (as it says it does). Since you cannot depend on anything consistent, that control is useless. Disappointing, but then not really German. Not worth one star.

I love Kenyan AA coffee and prefer to grind my beans for the freshest coffee. On receipt, opening the package, reading the setup instructions, and putting the Kenyan AA beans in the container for a medium grind to brew the coffee, I treated myself to an aromatic and delicious cup of coffee. Grinding was quick and trouble free with automatic shutoff triggered depending on your settings. Perfect!

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.

Why would I buy anything else? This is the second one I have bought, the first one died after over 10 years I think. Possibly 15. It is an absolute workhorse, easy to clean, easy to adjust, looks classy on the counter, I didn't even look at any others. We have three heavy coffee drinkers in this house and don't want to change our routine. It changes grind size easily and accurately. So thankful it is still available. Do not hesitate to buy! Update: well, it didn't really die. After setting up my new grinder and recycling all the boxes, I quickly read the instruction manual (which I had tossed for the old one), and discovered that I could remove the top burr to clean deep inside. This was nearly impossible, I had to use all my strength to get the burr to turn. When I finally was able to get it out, I discovered an almost solid rock of coffee glue that was preventing the burrs from turning. It stopped working but that was a safety feature to protect the motor. Once that was removed I was able to do a deep clean on the grinder and it is working as good as new. I'm going to keep both grinders, one for decaf and one for regular. No regrets buying the new one!!

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.

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

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

Funciona según lo prometido , lo uso para una cafetera express y el molido en los niveles más finos es bueno y consistente , se ve de buena calidad y el ajuste de tazas aunque es por tiempo es muy acercado al peso
