- A bit over-priced for what you get
- I got this because I had a burr grinder that couldn't do an espresso grind and a regular grinder that took a while to do an espresso grind. I also had a $30 gift card for a store I never buy anything at so I was looking for something I would use. I actually thought I was getting a burr grinder, since $30 is rather expensive for a grinder which just has a spinning blade and the description on the other web site was rather sparse.
What is nice is that the espresso grind works very well. It may be the cheapest option out there that does a good espresso grind. Other, cheaper grinders can do it, but you have to know how long to grind, whereas this one tells you when the grind is right. What stinks about this grinder is that you have to hold down the button until the "espresso" light comes on. If you are only after a coffee grinder for a drip coffee maker or a French press, get a cheaper grinder such as this Proctor Silex E160B Fresh Grind Coffee Grinder, White or a burr grinder. Burr grinders with a hopper for the ground coffee can handle more volume and make less mess, but the cheaper ones don't do an espresso grind. This one may be the cheapest one that gets to the espresso grind right easily, but it doesn't handle volume and it's hard to get the coffee out without making at least a little bit of a mess. - 2008-10-01, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Nice spice grinder
- Works well, turns dried products to powder and can grind hard spices as well. Only negative is that the Cup/container doesn't remove to be cleaned, but it's quite easy to clean with a paper towel.

- It never worked and I had destroyed the box to return it
- It never work big paper weight I destroyed the box so I couldn't return it. I will never by a grinder again off the internet. They are not reliable you need a face and a place to return them. I have learned my lesson. I was a big internet purchaser this grinder and a the WORKS GT have taught me a lesson.
