Hamilton Beach Coffee Grinder with Removable Chamber – 80335

Product works really well and super fast! Not a big fan of the grinding chamber as it doesn’t seem to hold a large number of beans so if doing a large pot, you would need to make two of them. Overall though, it is really smooth and efficient and I might consider getting a larger and different model next time.

I’ve had it for about a week, I’ve used it every morning since I got it. I’m totally happy with it. It says it’s a lot quieter than other brands, I’d believe that it is. Obviously it’s not silent but it’s probably 1/3 as loud as an average blender, so it’s decent. It’s quick and easy to use, put your beans in, put the cap on, push the button a few times to grind em up, maybe one longer burst to really get them ground.

Things you should know/other people’s complaints:

Someone said that it’s “no good, it leaves chunks of beans”. This doesn’t happen to me, but my guess is that they’re not grinding the beans enough or they’re somehow over filling it. While grinding you can tip it upside down in between bursts of the motor to mix it around better.

“It makes a mess, coffee grounds everywhere!” The cap is a cup. When your coffee beans (or spices) are fully ground, tip it upside down and pull the machine out of the cap, and you won’t spill anything.

“The motor burnt out after just a few uses” so obvisouly I haven’t had this for more than a week so I can’t yet say it should last forever. It probably won’t, but for $15 if I have to buy a new one every year or two, I can live with that. It could’ve also just been a faulty unit… stuff happens. BUT basically don’t just hold down the button so the motor and blades spin continuously. In stead to short bursts like you’re revving a motorcycle… this will break the big pieces into smaller pieces, and shoot them around and mix them up so the blades aren’t working so hard. Then after a few bursts when it’s mostly ground up, you can hold it a bit longer to make sure there aren’t chunks left. I like my coffee a little coarse (its definitely not espresso ground… see photos).

“The cord is too short”… yeah the bottom is also a cap that pulls straight down and then you can unwrap the power cable. Though, even unspooled, the cord is pretty short… it’s the only thing I don’t like about this device… it can only be about a foot from an outlet. I deal with it, but it’s the one thing I would change about it.

For a cheap, tabletop grinder I don’t see how it could be beat. It’s pretty easy to clean (the top washes just like a cup, and the part where the beans sit on the blades pulls out like a cup as well). It works great and I’m totally satisfied for what it is.

This coffee grinder was purchased to replace on that was 5 years old and the blades started to dull. I really enjoyed Hamilton Beach coffee grinder as it’s easy to take apart and clean if you want to grind spices in between coffee. I have used it daily for a month now and it’s performance is fantastic. I was hesitant to buy this product as it is on the lower end for price but I consider it to be high end on value. It also goes well with my Hamilton Beach espresso machine.

Had a $250 nightmare of a burr grinder that was so poor I returned it and picked this Hamilton Beach mill grinder up to “get me through” until I found another burr grinder. This one works so well that I will never use anything else! After using it a couple of times it is easy to get the correct grind size for your requirements and is way easier to use and clean than the burr grinders.

I bought this item a few weeks ago and wanted to give it at least a dozen uses before reviewing. That being said, I can’t yet say that this item stands the test of time. On top of that, I use this not to grind up coffee beans, but for other things. I bought this item to make powders, such as dried pepper powders, dried mushroom powders and the like.

PROS: given that I’m using this for purposes not intended by the manufacturer, it’s doing a good job. I like how fine my end product is.

It’s cheap! Even if it worked 75% as good as it does, I would say this is a steal.

I love how the grinder compartment comes apart, and despite recommendations against, I still hand wash the detachable parts and let air dry for a good day. I still hand clean the main part with a dry or very light damp paper, sit it upside down and and let it dry a good day. No problems here, but again, the manufacturer (and pretty much everyone else) advises against this. I’m just lazy, and the subsequent powder gets everywhere, which leads me to the cons.

CONS: this thing does a great job grinding up stuff, but it often results in a powdery smoke afterwards, which often escapes while grinding. This smoke gets everywhere including into the mechanics of the grinder. I’m hoping this doesn’t cause issues down the road. Additionally, if you’re like me and using this for other than coffee purposes, get a cheap face mask, especially when grinding hot peppers.

The mechanism that spins the grinding blades doesn’t always fit snugly and when I was first using this, it gave off a plastic burn smell. It’s gone away after 6 uses or so, but it was initially concerning.

That’s the big summation. Despite the few issues, this item warrants a 5 star, if nothing else, because it does more than just expected and is very cost effective. If this lasts 6 months with my usage (grinding all sorts of dried things 2 times a week) then I will have made out.

Hi, I got this as a gift from my husband for this Mother’s Day. He bought this based on the reviews. It felt like a wish come true in the beginning. The jar is very poorly made and it cracked up one fine day and the bottom of the jar is not easy to clean. At last like a cherry on top, just a bit after 2 months the motor stopped running. I am a person who love my kitchen gadgets and take take care of them well. I used it once in 2 to 3 days to grind fresh spices. Hopefully wishing to get a refund.
