KRUPS Precision Grinder Flat Burr Coffee for Drip/Espresso/PourOver/ColdBrew, 12 Cup, Black

Ok. This machine does a great job grinding coffee. Everything else about this dreadful thing, on the other hand, is a complete waste of time. It's supposed to grind the right amount of coffee for two people. 12 cups is incorrect. 5 cups, or a full-size french press, is the smallest amount. To use my personal french press, I must first grind the coffee, place it in a separate container, and then measure it- I was really looking forward to being able to grind exactly the right amount, but it does not work as advertised. Because the grounds hopper has an odd shape, pouring coffee from it almost guarantees that it will spill all over the place. I'm not sure why, but this thing produces a lot of static! Pouring coffee can be a fascinating science experiment, as the grounds will literally travel sideways to stick to the outside of the hopper or anything else on the counter, rather than pouring into the container you intended. Every time I use it, it makes a shambles of my counters and floor, to the point where I've had to resort to buying ground coffee. I haven't done anything like this in at least 25 years. Every time I use it, it irritates me to no end, and it's a terrible way to begin the day. ON A DAILY BASIS It's not a good idea to purchase it. I expected a lot more from Krupps, and they've just lost a lifelong customer. It's inexcusable to sell a product with flaws like these.

For a couple of years, I used a hand ceramic grinder, which is a great device, but grinding coffee when guests arrive is a pain: ) As a result, there's no need to explain why I require it. But, if you're curious, here are some answers: br>br>Q: Could you tell me a little bit about yourself? br>br> What made you pick this particular brand?br>A: Because it has been used by a friend of mine for decades and is extremely durable kitchenware. I'm glad I came across it. br>br>Q: Could you tell me a little bit about yourself? br>br> Why not blades, for example? They are less expensive!
A: Due to the fact that some 'coffee-lovers' According to the experts, it should be a flat-screen television. burr. Other than grain size setup and servings amount, I'm not sure if there are any advantages. br>br>Q: Could you tell me a little bit about yourself? br>br> Why not use ceramic instead?
A: They cost a lot more. br>br>Q: Is there any background noise?
A: It's pretty quiet here. While grinding, I can converse with others. br>br>Q: Could you tell me a little bit about yourself? br>br> Is it straightforward to work with?
A: Yes, simply place the grains in the machine, choose the serving size, and press the start button. Yes, you can select grain size (which I never did))br>br>Q: Would you purchase it again if you had the opportunity?
A: Yes, and I strongly advise you to do so as well. And I'd buy the same building (i. e. Blades aren't one of them. ).

Please keep in mind that some of the Amazon reviews are for the grinder/brewer. Only the grinder is the subject of this review! The buildup of static electricity in the hopper is something that has been mentioned in other reviews about the grinder. This makes emptying the hopper difficult without spilling a small amount of coffee on the counter. Because of the quality/consistency of the grind and its price, this is a minor issue for me. When I first started looking for a burr grinder to replace my poorly performing blade grinder, most were three times as expensive or more. If you're looking for a grinder that produces a consistent grind (which is important to me) at a reasonable price and are willing to put up with some cleaning due to the static electricity in the hopper, I think you'll be pleased with this unit!.

It's the first time I've used it, so take this with a grain of salt. I'm coming from a 20-year career in the music industry. Although the Krups grind consistency is comparable to or better than that of a year old Baratza grinder, which costs significantly more. The cleanup, on the other hand, was massive - There are coffee shards all over the place. To get the particles out, I had to turn it upside down over the trash. I'm going to ask if anyone has a solution to the extreme static generated by this grinder, which is the source of the cleanup issue. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> When I asked a question, a kind soul responded with an answer. She advised that the static would dissipate if the ground coffee was left alone for an hour. It did! The only snafu remained was the "blowback" from the grinder as it finished the last of the beans. Because there are no more unground beans on top at this point, fragments begin to fly back into the hopper's top, where they remain. Because it isn't long enough, the small removable brush on top of the burr's removable part is ineffective at cleaning it. If you keep the beans "topped up" in the hopper, you won't have this problem, but I weigh my beans first, so I think I'll have to turn the unit upside down over the trash every third or fourth day to get rid of the blowback in the upper chamber. br>br>Having said that, for such a low-cost grinder, the grind consistency is quite remarkable. If Krups is reading this, I would have paid more for a better plastic to reduce static (not all plastic is static-free). Krups' choice of weapon was similarly prone).
