Some very good features; some very annoying ones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: 1. It doesn't overheat and shut down, or need "rest periods." 2. It's fast. 3. It does a truly very good job of grinding beans to fine powder. 4. It's easy to clean. Cons: 1. You can't walk away from it for a minute, because every 15 seconds or so it just stops pulling beans into the grinding chamber. I stand at the unit and swirl the beans around nonstop to keep the unit functioning. Makes it mighty hard to get anything else done. 2. It's jet-engine loud, which is bad on its own but all the worse since you have to stand over the unit and continually feed beans into the grinding chamber. 3. While I don't know whether the number selection for grind size (coarse, fine, etc.) is beneficial or accurate, the selection for number of cups has no effect at all.

Grinder

Beans don’t flow into the grinder without encouragement, I.e., slap the side during grinding or you will wind up grinding air. Other than that it’s great.

Doesn’t grind find enough for espresso

Got this grinder so I can make espresso at home. needed a burr grinder so thought this was gonna be perfect, but it does not grind fine enough for espresso. kind of disappointed because it advertises as espresso grinder, but doesn’t grind find enough.

We’re sorry to hear that the grinder did not meet your espresso expectations. For the best results, many customers find using the finest burr setting and grinding smaller amounts at a time helps achieve a finer consistency suitable for espresso. If you need additional guidance, our Consumer Assistance Center is available at 1-800-726-0190.

Clogs easily - proper cleaning tools not included

The grinder works well, but if you use a bean that’s oily, or if you want a very fine grind, you will find that this grinder comes to a “grinding halt”. This occurs every time I use this grinder, and it requires me to clean the machine from the shoot where the ground coffee drops, up toward the grinding mechanism. So here’s how to do it - take something like a pick that comes with a nut cracker and work your way up the shoot to release the clogged grounds. Then you will need a 3/4 pipe brush to thoroughly clean the poorly designed shoot (coffee has to flow in a curve from the grinder to the shoot) until you can see the brush come through the permanent grinder (you need to take the grinder apart as you normally would for routine cleaning). The pipe brush is the only way I have found to get the grinder unclogged and back in use. The nut pick just clears a path for the brush to get into the shoot. Sadly, it takes more time to clean the machine than it does to grind the coffee I desire. Other than that, it’s great.

Dissatisfied

Grinds well. I haven't had any issues with clogging yet, but I haven't had it very long. I'm giving low score because of the attached rubber stopper closing piece that just HANGS off the lid. It's so ugly. It literally just hangs like an eyesore. It is only useful if you ground large amounts of coffee at a time, but even then, you would need to store the collection container elsewhere. The collection container doesn't fit well in its place with the stopper lid closed. So it just sits in my kitchen, looking like it's wagging a tail. I will probably just cut it off soon.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear the grinder is performing well so far and that you haven’t experienced clogging. We’re sorry to learn that the attached rubber stopper design has been disappointing and feels inconvenient and unattractive in everyday use. Your comments about the collection container fit and overall design have been shared with our product team, as feedback like this is helpful when evaluating future updates.

Underwhelming

The grinding port tends to leak a noticeable amount of grounds onto the counter each time it’s used, and the interior chamber builds up residue quickly, causing frequent jams. Even after carefully cleaning it according to the instructions, the jamming persists and the grinder often stops working properly. I’ve only used it a few times so far, but these issues have made it frustrating to rely on. While I appreciate the thoughtful gift, this particular model hasn’t lived up to expectations for me in terms of reliability and mess-free operation.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the grounds spilling, residue buildup, and jamming issues—it’s understandable that these challenges have made using the grinder frustrating. To help prevent jams, please ensure the grinder is fully assembled, the grinding chamber is cleaned thoroughly after each use, and only the recommended amount of beans is used at a time. This product is backed by a limited warranty, and our Consumer Service team at 1-800-726-0190 is available to provide further guidance or assistance.
