5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to handle and effective to grind
This is the second time I have bought this machine. It is very good, it grinds coffee and pepper very easily, easy to handle and despite being a small machine it is robust.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous! Great for grinding spices
This grinds spices ultra fine, easy to use and maintain. I am on my third krups grinder. The current one still works, thought I would buy this as a spare. My first Krups grinder lasted an incredible 15 years! German manufacturing for you.
4.0 out of 5 stars A small but powerful grinder for everyday use
It may not be the most 'technical' bean grinder on the market, there are no options for grind speed or any form of control over how fine you would like your beans, but it does the job damn well. There is just one button on the lid, you push and go. If you want a finer grind you can lightly shake the grinder around while in function, which I have found to work very well. You only really need to hold the button down a few seconds because this thing is very powerful. I have found the easiest method of cleaning it is ensuring after each grind, you tip the device upside down and give it a couple pats so the ground beans fall into the lid (so you're not wasting any coffee!) then any residue left in the machine can be cleaned with a fine brush (personally I use a hair dye brush because it does the best job at getting under the blade). Overall, it works a treat and produces great results every time. It runs a little loud (but it's a bean grinder, what do you expect), but it looks great aesthetically, takes up very minimal space and is very handy for every day use. Has held up well to every type of coffee bean I have tried with it. Me and my flatmate are very happy with it and use it every day and have had zero problems. Definitely recommend for the price!
5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty quiet and effective.
This coffee grinder is really good, it's quiet to use and grinds to varying levels. Great for espresso or for a courser grind for other coffee makers...doesn't affect the flavour of the beans..it is durable and good quality.
5.0 out of 5 stars Well designed, quick and easy to use. Strong motor.
I decided to look for an electric grinder when I began buying whole spices and found my little stoneware pestle and mortar a little too time consuming. This review is therefore about the grinding of whole spices rather than coffee beans.I first purchased a James Martin by Whal mini grinder as it was advertised as being suitable for coffee beans, dry spices and nuts. It turned out to be almost useless for grinding dry spices, despite many various attempts with different seeds the result was always a very disappointing combined gritty and dusty mixture. I found the machine awkward to use and the plastic 'viewing' window at the top of the lid nothing more than a tiny peep hole. My next choice was the Krups Coffee mill as I noticed on the Krups website, under specifications, it is stated for use with dry spices.~ Description ~I really liked the straightforward oval cylinder shape of this mill with its black plastic shiny finish and slanted clear plastic lid with a black rectangular switch at the side. The unit stands 17cm high and is approximately 10cm wide. The very robust clear plastic lid lifts off and locates back onto the grinder base smoothly and securely. Inside is a stainless steel lined grinding chamber and a sturdy 6cm stainless steel double blade. The overall feel is of a quality product designed to do its task rather than an emphasis on looking flashy or fashionable in the kitchen. 'Krups' is written in grey on the front at the base and directly behind this at the back is where the 70cm cable is connected. The mill runs at 180 watts.~ Whole spices ~Whole spices are of course dried seeds. I had read somewhere that many spices can lose a certain amount of flavour as well as nutritional or medicinal properties if stored in a ground form for long periods of time. Until this point I had usually bought spices ready ground. I experimented with dried dill and coriander seeds collected from our vegetable garden and ground a few with my pestle and mortar, then used within a few days either in baking or cooking. I was so impressed by the richer and fresher flavours of these spices, I've since then bought most of the spices I like to use in whole form or made sure I have plenty of seed produced in the garden to dry and then store in airtight jars.~ Use and Efficiency ~I have been using the Krups mill for nearly a year and am thoroughly impressed with its performance in terms of finely grinding the dried seeds of dill, fennel, cardamom, coriander, cumin, cloves and caraway. Also peppercorns, mustard seeds, cinnamon sticks (broken into pieces), dried thyme and sea salt. I usually place a heaped tablespoon of seeds into the mill, slide the lid into position and then simply press down on the black switch, the grinder will not operate unless the lid is located fully, a good safety feature. With a combination of pressing the switch down for two and four second periods the spices are quickly ground to either an evenly coarse or a very fine texture depending on which you require. The motor after over 11 months of fairly regular use still sounds as strong and powerful as it did when new.~ Cleaning and storage ~I use a little wooden spoon to remove the ground spices out of the mill so as not to get the mill scratched. The lid can be washed with warm soapy water and the grinding chamber carefully wiped clean with a damp cloth. At times it can be a little tricky to clean around and under the blade but this I would imagine is no different to other similar grinders. I have found it easier to clean than the Whal grinder, this is due to the oval shape which allows easier access with a cloth. The plastic lid has lost its transparency and become slightly opaque over the months of use and this does seem to be the case when spices are ground, an effect on the plastic from the oil vapours in the spices I would guess. This however I don't mind at all as the whole lid still provides an adequate view of the spices whilst grinding.The 70cm cable is in my opinion a sensible length for use on a kitchen surface, too much cable could be a nuisance whilst using the grinder and also cumbersome to store away. I tend to wind the cable around the base of the grinder but find due to the shiny plastic base, the cable slips and I need two hands to hold the base, cable and plug altogether as I put it away in a cupboard. A clip for the plug to attach to the cable would make this much easier, especially for those of us without large hands (my husband can deftly hold it all in one hand).~ Conclusion ~An efficient, well designed grinder for use with spices. I feel confident that after nearly a year of use this grinder will continue to perform well for a long time yet
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice one Krups.
This wee guy costs very little. I just had a £65 Cuisinart break down completely after 18 months of normal use, so at whatever this cost - about £25 or something - I forget - it's got to be worth a go. I've had it 3 months now, so in a certain amount of months, it'll be better than the other one. That's quantum stuff right there. Draw your own conclusions, but my feeling is that the cat is no longer in the box at all, and both dead and alive simultaneously.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great little mill
I’ve only used this for coffee and that’s all I plan to use it for so I don’t know if it will cope with spices and if so how well. As it can’t be immersed in water and I don’t want my coffee tasting of cumin I’m just going to stick to putting coffee in it. So, as a coffee bean grinder? It’s excellent, it grinds 40g of coffee beans (it’s how much I use for the two of us) in 10-15 seconds. You control it with slight pressure at one side of the lid, so it’s easy to stop and check the fineness of the coffee grinds.I found taking the lid off when I’d finished grinding the beans allowed coffee to drop off the lid and make a mess, so I turn the unit upside down and tap the bottom, knocking the coffee into the lid and then remove the base leaving the lid underneath and full of ready to use coffee grinds. I just find it works better for me, and the spillage issue would be my only niggle with this machine. It’s minor and easy to get around so I’ve not knocked any stars off.Cleaning is easy enough, I just use kitchen roll, dry initially to knock any remaining coffee off the sides and the blade and then damp to give it a good wipe out - the coffee sticks to the damp paper. I use this machine several times a day and I’m really pleased with it. Good value and does the job I need it to do. The lid I just wash up by hand once a day.
Me encanto!
Muele excelente y es muy fácil de usar
Den gör sitt jobb
Den är snabb och ganska tystgående.
Very good quality
Good device with good quality and as described
Gute Kaffeemühle
Gute Kaffeemühle , mit der man stufenlos von grob nach fein mahlen kann. Ich habe bisher nur Kaffee damit gemahlen und da macht sie, was sie soll. Ziemlich laut, einfach zu reinigen.
Moulin à café top
Très bon moulin à café qui donne une mouture très fine. Il est silencieux par rapport à d’autres. Bon rapport qualité prix. Le cordon aurait été un peu plus long ça serait un mieux.
