Amazon.com Review
Nothing beats a freshly ground, freshly brewed cuppa joe to start the day, and with this grinder, you can have up to 20 cups' worth of beans at a time. The understated black color and contemporary oval design fit in well with any kitchen decor, while the small size (just 6 inches high) doesn't take up too much premium counter space. Stainless-steel blades guarantee a long life and an even grind, whether you use this grinder for coffee, spices, nuts, or even whole grains. --Jill Lightner

 Poor assembly July 7, 2008
Laura C. Larsson (Chehalis, WA, USA)
I purchased this product as an early birthday present for my husband. Imagine both of our disapointments when we found the grinding assembly was not assembled properly. The grinder would not turn because a part was missing and the grinder rubbed against the side of bean holder freezing it in place. The bummer is that I tossed the return slip before I checked it for flaws and now have waited too long to return it - so I have to eat the cost. I'm surprised that a usually quality manufacturer such as Krups would have such poor quality control. It was made in Mexico.
 wish it had a spout June 28, 2008
B. Smith (Texas)
The grinder grinds well. However, I like the type of kitchen grinder which can hold beans, grind beans, and has a spout for the ground beans to come out of-so one dosen't have to add beans every time. This grinder has to have beans put into it each time one grinds, then the ground coffee has to be emptied each time-a big hassle in my opinion. But it will be useful, due to the small size, for travel grinding, for fresh coffee on the road, one cup at a time.
Good Little LOUD Coffee Grinder June 23, 2008
Alexis Cordova (San Francisco, CA)
Edit: 7/5/08: So I was just grinding some coffee, and a blade broke clean off. It actually left a gash in the interior metal pan, too. I guess this grinder sucks after all.

I ended up purchasing the Krups Fast Touch Coffee Grinder because I was tired of waiting for all the little old ladies to finish grinding their 15 bags of coffee at the grinding station at Costco. I have a Krups espresso maker, so I figured this would be a good match.
Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. The grinder takes only 3 ounces at a time, but there really isn't a need to grind more unless you have 25 people in your household drinking coffee at any given time. It doesn't grind it as fine as I'd like (the big fancy industrial grinders at Costco grind it turkish, which is what I prefer), but it does the job.
My only complaint is that this thing is LOUD. Like, chainsaw loud. Who knew this little machine could make so much noise. My girlfriend says it shouldn't be this loud, and I haven't read the manual to see what the trick is to get it grind more fine grounds (who reads the manual anyway?), but overall, worth the $20.
 Repeat buy June 14, 2008
A. Buehler
I bought this grinder in 1992. I can attest to quality and longevity of use. I am thrilled to be buying an exact replacement. It does a really good job of grinding beans (also walnuts) to perfection, very quickly. I also found turning the grinder upside down so that ground material dispenses from the cap is the least messy.
