KRUPS Flat Burr Coffee Grinder Electric, 18 Adjustable Grind Settings, 2-20 Cups per Grind, Single Touch, Coffee Bean and Spice Grinder, Stainless Steel, Black

I purchased this Krups GX450 coffee grinder after having purchased the Krups 5 cup coffee maker. I was so impressed with the coffee maker that I decided I would try a Krups coffee grinder. I have had a little coffee grinder in the past and I found it somewhat annoying to use. It was too loud, too messy, too inconsistent (no options to specify the courseness of the grind, etc.) So I saw this Krups grinder on Amazon and bought it using the like new option. This saved me some considerable money on the price. (I’ve had great success with that option with other purchases from Amazon.) The device did come in the Krups box, but it looked like it had been somewhat repackaged. It was clean and looked like new. The only weird thing is, they had a hand Xeroxed instruction manual for the smaller older model in the box, rather than the one that goes with this model. I wound up having to dig deep on the Krups website to find a downloadable version of the manual for this new device. Also, strangely on Krups‘s site, they don’t even feature this new grinder on the American website. So having used the device for a few days, I must say it’s fantastic. It works super well. It’s not deafeningly loud, and it does an excellent job of grinding the coffee to the courseness that you choose. I would say the design of this unit is greatly superior to the other model they make that is smaller. Interestingly, I have yet to see any reviews on this actual unit in Amazon that pertain to this new model. Just a word of advice if you get this machine, the method to remove the bean hopper from the machine to clean it or clear it out is not very obvious. What you need to do is rotate the whole hopper counterclockwise many times until the hopper begins to unscrew from the bottom of the unit I had to do a lot of experimentation before I figured that out. And that is not clearly indicated in the instructions at all. Overall, I highly recommend this unit. It works very well and looks great with the Krups coffee maker.

I have owned and used a few different brands of burr grinders which came in at various price points. This one is the only one I have owned which delivers visibly different levels of coarseness. This is important since I use cafetières ("french presses") for my coffee. These require a coarse ground coffee. Given this came in at the lower mid-range price point, that's a plus. I also like that it delivers the amount by cup size, which usually happens to be a European cup (so, two cups is about a 250ml/8oz cup). Again, this is useful if you use a cafetière since they usually are sized by volume. Bottom line for me is that this is a good value for the money from a reputable manufacturer.

I've been using this grinder since October 2022, and it's still going strong. I chose it because it was under $100 and had excellent reviews, and it hasn't disappointed. I primarily use it for dark roast beans, and the grind settings work well for my percolators, moka pot, V60, and Aeropress. While it occasionally gums up with impacted grinds, it's fairly easy to unclog—though a bit messy. The static in the container is manageable, but a better solution to prevent it would be appreciated. The measurements on the front are handy, though I usually weigh my beans before grinding. Adjusting the grind gauge can be a little tricky, but it gets the job done. I also like the kill-switch safety features that stop the grinder if the lid is open or the container isn't properly inserted. The biggest downside is the noise—it's extremely loud. People often comment on it when they're nearby. That said, it performs significantly better than a blade grinder, and for the price, it’s a solid option that suits my needs.

This is, without any doubt or equivocation, the finest grinder that I have ever owned. It is certainly a tremendous value especially at the sale price at which I purchased the item. It is noisy! However, I would be noisy too if the first thing that I had to do each morning was to fill my mouth with coffee beans and then, with my teeth, grind up enough for a couple of pots of coffee. Trust me on this, I would be howling, and growling, and barking out a LITANY of profane epithets, unceasingly!! There are settings for volume of bean to be ground in order to meet the liquid demands, and enough settings to grind the beans precisely as I like them. This setting, obviously, will be determined by the coffee blend as well as the apparatus that is employed to tackle this task. Along with the preferential whims of the human behind the magic!! Quality coffee brewing is NOT a task for the faint at heart. Their very state of emotional and physical wellness may depend upon their level competence, passion, and level of expertise, that are mandated by the task of conjuring up that precious morning commodity :) The machine has a very large bay into which I poor the appropriate amount of product, being careful not to overfill beyond my immediate need. The machine has an exceptionally large bean capacity. I use one heaping coffee measuring scoop per cup of coffee. Subsequently, I fill the bean bay up 2/3 of the way. This is the maximum amount of grounds that the coffee ground catch basket will hold. Furthermore, the filters won't accommodate beyond that ... at all!!! I no longer subscribe to the old men's tales that the consumption of a combination of slices of hockey puck look'n toast, dipped into a 12 oz. cauldron of spoon dissolving coffee, that has the same color, flavor, and texture as the aforementioned toast, will put hair on my chest. Lastly, the negligible amount of finely ground coffee that escapes the clutches of the grounds receptacle is hardly worth mentioning. I utilize the grinder as it sits on either a dish rag, or dish towel. This completely alleviates any concerns of coffee dust on my counters. It also absorbs all of the vibration of the grinder on the counter, which effectively lowers the decibel level of the grinding process. As well designed and crafted as this grinder is, again, I genuinely believe that it is going to outlast me!! Hence, it will be welcome an appropriate comrade to accompany the KOFFEE tamper that I use to PACK the grounds into the filter. The end result of this entire process is DARK STRONG, BLACK, HOT KOFFEE!! Yep, and it all starts with, and depends upon, my trusty Krups Precision Flat Burr Grinder :)

Excelente en relación precio calidad

It doesn’t get your coffee fine enough at all Super disappointed as I did a lot of research My view , just buy powder unless you live next to a coffee plantation . As powder and beans are packed the same into sealed containers and the powder saves all the mess and roaches that follow even a micro coffee ground left over after grinding

This is my second Krups grinder in about 10 years. The last one broke due to a tiny piece of plastic breaking off on the inside, which was regrettable because it was still working up until that point. Works great. If you are grinding for a KCUP Keurig machine, make sure it’s set for the finest grind.

Works well. It’s loud, so I make sure to grind coffee at night so I don’t wake the ‘sleeping in’ family in the morning. Next time I will try a quiet grinder.

My last Krups Burr Coffee Grinder lasted several years. They are high quality for the price. I love pour over coffee and only have 1 cup of coffee a day so this grinder will last a long time. It is well made with good materials and the price was amazing.
