" ... For my cold brew coffee I use the coarse setting and am pleased with it. ... "
" ... One day, I get nice strong coffee, the next day, I might get coarse grounds and not enough of them. ... "
" ... Nice Grinder I would have like it to grind a little coarser to make better Press Pot Coffee. ... "
" ... Now I’m out the money I paid for it and a coffee grinder for my morning coffee. ... "
" ... Even though it's pretty noise while grinding (as any coffee grinder), it's a really good grinder. ... "
" ... Makes a great cup of coffee ... "
" ... Love this coffee grinder so perfect, so many settings and its not as loud as some that we have owned. ... "
" ... This has been a perfect coffee grinder for me! ... "

" ... 2) I can no longer clean it bc the head is stuck. ... it still grinds but I can not clean it. ... "
" ... It simply makes a mess no matter how careful you are. ... "
" ... Pulverizes beans to dust. ... "
" ... And, used and not cleaned. ... "
" ... The system isn't great for getting out the grinds they end up making a mess but manageable. ... "
" ... And that setting is coarse combined with super fine dust that's been compacted against the interior top edges of the container because its been blasted out from the 'hopper port'. ... Yes it "Grinds coffee", but 20 seconds of grinding is a 5 minute clean up. ... Now imagine you're trying to remove a teeny slippery semi circle lid from a slippery semi circle container that's holding nothing but dust. ... Make sure you are working over a sink and cover your counter in painters cloth before you begin. ... Nothing but a mess. ... If you try to tap the top of the container to get everything to fall to the bottom, the dust blasts out of the container hole. ... "
" ... Took me ten minutes to get this horrible grinder even "sort of clean". ... "
" ... What a mess, from the grinding to getting it out of the container, it takes the brew time to clean after it! ... "

" ... Mine no longer works after less then 3 months of use. ... It’s just stopped working. ... "
" ... I had the same issue as many others who have written a review - stopped grinding after a period of time. ... "
" ... After just 17 months of use it has stopped working. ... It started acting up about three months ago. ... It finally stopped working today when my attempted to grind some new beans he had just purchased. ... "
" ... Update I had this item for about a 2 months and it broke on me. ... Then it just stopped grinding completely. ... "
" ... Update: After having used it for several weeks the variation of grind fineness is a major issue. ... "
" ... Lasted three months and then stopped working ... "
" ... Worst product ever, broke after 40 days. ... "

" ... Such a great price for a great product. ... "
" ... I purchased this 8 months ago, and for the low price I paid, it was an amazing deal! ... "
" ... It was a great bargain before Christmas at $31.95. ... "
" ... Either way, it's going back and I'll purchase something cheaper that is worth the money. ... "
" ... Bought three of these for family members because the price seemed so reasonable. ... Well worth the price and one year in they are all working well. ... "

" ... This one is quieter in the early morning when I use it, has a great size, the plastic container for grinds thicker and easier to take the top off of, easier to use, turn on, we like it a lot. ... "
" ... Lastly, it’s sleek looking and doesn’t take up much space on my counter. ... "
" ... This container holds them well and clean up is a snap. ... "
" ... 1- to fill it the bean container opens from the back, , from the front would be slightly more convenient. ... "
" ... Lots of settings for grind size. ... "
" ... Now try to get that material to go into your permanent container. ... "
" ... However over all it works great and it perfect for someone who does not want a machine to take up to much space also just to add to the review it is not messy. ... "
" ... It has a small foot print and takes up very little counter space . ... "

" ... There several tiny plastic shut off mechanisms for this grinder so I guess its that, but I don't care enough to problem solve why this doesn't work in the first time using it. ... "
" ... I didn't use it more than twice a month, so, if I'm generous, it broke after 20 uses. ... "
" ... The motor shaft broke and is not worth repairing. ... "
" ... However, it broke 6 months after I bought it, even though I only use it on weekends. ... "
" ... I don’t use it everyday, so I can’t speak to its durability/longevity (though it feels high quality to me), but it makes grinding beans for my cold brew, espresso, drip coffee, pour over, and french press SO much easier and my coffee tastes SO much better. ... Plus, there are plenty of way to discharge plastic of static cling. ... "
" ... It broke after 6 months of using it 3-4 times a week. ... "
" ... It could at least have a hinge or a little handle or something. ... "
" ... Haven't had this grinder very long and it's on its last legs. ... "

" ... After time the little knobs that would fit into notches would eventually break thereby rendering unattended operation useless. ... "
" ... Think it jammed. ... "
" ... Jammed the first time I used it, cleaned it all out, tried again, jammed after a few tablespoons. ... "
" ... The shape of the receptacle that holds the grounds makes it almost guaranteed that you are going to make a mess every time you try to pour the grounds out. ... "
" ... The downsides are it is not possible to release the cup that catches the grounds without spilling some, and it’s difficult to get all of the grounds out of the catch cup. ... "
" ... It’s also loud and the container that holds the grounds wasn’t designed well. ... "
" ... To Krup's credit, they put metal where metal is needed, and plastic where plastic will do while keeping prices down. ... "
" ... All plastic, doesn’t grind as well, spreads ground dust around where grounds go into cup, and the beans do not gravity feed into the grinder well. ... "
