LaPavoni Burr Coffee Grinder
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend The only way to grind coffee the right way is with a mill or burr grinder. Avoid the cheap blade grinders as they simply cut your coffee (creating unequal and ununiform pieces that will not brew properly). This grinder allows you complete control choose a fine grind for your espresso, or a coarse grind for your french press. Product details and pricing info |

- Well Pleased
- I've had this grinder for 10 months now and am quite satisfied with it. I had read most of the reviews of this item and had somewhat lowered expectations due to the negative reviews. That said, it has performed well for me. Yes, static is a problem; and, you can count on some grounds on your counter to clean up. Even so, bang for the buck, it can't be beat. It most certainly out performs my old, (and failed) blade grinder. I almost exclusively grind Gevalia Columbian and Kenyan coffee so I may not be putting too much of a load on it. I would buy one again.

- Not a espresso grinder
- I started roasting and grinding my own coffee not because I'm a coffee snob but because, for medical reasons, I could only drink the lowest acid coffee available. For over 5 years the LaPavoni has ground perfectly, repeatably and evenly (even though I ignore the "Brush after every use" recommendation). I drink coffee, good coffee, not espresso and this modestly priced grinder is perfectly suited for medium to fine grinds with beans that haven't been roasted to extreme oilyness.

- A good coffee grinder at a reasonable price
- I'm generally happy with this grinder; I use it for grinding beans for my drip coffee maker. Unlike my old grinder, this doesn't leave fine coffee dust all over the counter. One caveat: I originally set the number of cups at 12 and wound up with twice as much ground coffee as I needed. It's better to set the number of cups at half what you want; if there isn't enough ground coffee, you can always grind a little more. The only other (small) complaint I have is that the reservoir for beans is a bit small--I have to add more beans about every third day. However, that's not as bad as having to clean the counter every time I use the grinder and I think this one is a bit less noisy than my old one too.

- Great grinder for COFFEE
- I dropped in to find one of these as a gift for a fellow coffee connoisseur, and thought I would leave a review! Hi y'all!
This is a fine grinder if you're looking for a great cup of coffee. If you are hoping to ultrafine-grind your beans for espresso, buy something else. It's that simple.
Easy to use, easy to clean and an excellent price, my 2-year-old has provided wonderful daily service, and I make manual drip, electric drip and press-style coffee (depending upon amounts I want).
It is a bit loud, although not much more than a blade grinder. It is a bit messier when you're grinding enough for a 12 cup pot, but if you work over the sink, you'll be fine.
Just don't expect espresso from a coffee grinder! - 2008-03-30, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Burr Coffee Grinder
- This product was not right for us because we discovered (only after opening the package) that it does not grind coffee fine enough for espresso, which is what we had bought it for. If you don't need that feature, it's a fine machine.
