Rewriting this review after using it for a couple months. We bought this to replace our Cuisinart one that broke. I wish we’d just bought another Cuisinart. This one doesn’t hold as much and it’s messy. After you’ve ground the coffee you have to pull the lid off and the grounds build up along the side and spill out if you’re not careful. If you don’t clean it out completely the next time you use it the lid sticks and then spills grounds when it finally pops off.

I read some very good reviews of this grinder, so was exceedingly disappointed with what arrived. The plastic construction has a decidedly cheap feel to it, the thing grinds unevenly, and cannot produce a coarse enough grind for French press. Perhaps it would do better with finer grinds, but on the most coarse setting it produces something closer to what you’d get from a bad attempt with a blade grinder. It’s decidedly not worth $75CAN. The Bodum burr grinder is not a lot more expensive but is vastly superior in all respects.

Initially this Spice grinder was amazing – I was raving about it to everyone I knew. Unfortunately after 3 months it stopped working completely. The KRUPS warranty is terrible and it’ll cost me more to get it fixed than to buy a new one! Very disappointed and still looking for a replacement / better alternative.

Ich habe mir die Mühle gekauft, da ich mir French Press Kaffee machen wollte. Die Mühle tut hier für mich genau das, was sie tun soll und ich kann sie uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
Folgende Punkte sind mir aber aufgefallen, bzw. die sollte man vor einem Kauf wissen: – Ich mache mir immer nur eine Tasse Kaffee (0.33l bzw. 22g Bohnen) und dafür ist die Mühle ideal. Für deutlich größere Mengen (1l oder mehr) ist sie m.E. aber zu klein. – Der Mahlgrad ist leider nur dadurch bestimmt, wie lange man den An-Taster betätigt. Wer den Mahlgrad genau reproduzieren möchte, wird mit dieser Mühle nicht optimal bedient. – Beim Abnehmen des Deckels fällt gerne ein wenig gemahlener Kaffee auf die Arbeitsfläche. Daher immer vor dem Öffnen des Deckels ein paar Mal drauf klopfen, damit sich der gemahlene Kaffee ganz vom Deckel löst. – Um den gemahlenen Kaffee vollständig aus der Mühle zu bekommen oder sie zu reinigen, ist ein Pinsel nötig. Ohne kommt man an die Kanten und unter das Mahlwerk nicht heran.

UPDATE :
Friday January 4th, 2019
After 14 months of gentle use (1-2 times a week), the Grinder just stopped working. The blade won’t turn anymore despite the usual cleaning and maintenance. Please be aware
Overall, it’s a descent product. It sometimes needs an extra round to fully grind something (Examples of coffee shown). But it does get then job done. It’s not terribly noisy, nor vibrate more than it should. That being said, the lay out of the Grinder is a bit frustrating, as you will ALWAYS have a lot of it stuck to the metal bottom, and you need to spoon it of. This also makes it tricky to clean properly, be it after each usage or every once and then.

I have used the item daily for 32 days for one coffee a day. on 31st day the machine started to work slower, and finally yesterday it broke down completely. Although it was quite a good grinder, it is ridiculous to pay 20 pounds for an item that breaks in 32 days, probably because you cannot return it after 30 days.
If you consider buying a grinder, you’d better think of something that will last longer than 30 days.

I like my Kenwood CG100 but it must be 20 years old by now so I wanted a backup. The KRUPS F20342 had good reviews but seems a little flimsy and when I went to grind beans I found it much noisier than the Kenwood. The blades seem higher and the oval shape leaves corners so if, like me, you use a dark roast then the grinds hide and you have to spoon them out. OK, but with these design flaws I wish I’d gone for a cheaper model as this doesn’t deliver the quality I expected.

When my previous hardworking Krupps coffee mill expired after several very satisfactory years, I replaced it with this one. I should have looked more closely at the specifications. It lacks the following features which made my old one so much better; 1) There is no way to adjust the fineness of the grind to the type of coffee you are making, or to program the motor to run for the right length of time to complete the job. It simply warns you not to run the motor for more than 20 seconds, but doesn’t say why, which is potentially worrying.. 2) The ground coffee remains in the same small compartment as the very sharp blades, instead of falling into a separate box, so it’s very difficult and unsafe to get it out, and it tends to spill coffee grounds all over the worktop when held upside down to get to the final teaspoonful. 3) it is not possible to clean the inside of the container as there is no safe way to get past the fixed blades. I have found this item to be cheap and useless and ATM I’ve reverted to using pre-ground packets of coffee until I can replace it.

Do not be fooled. Anyone looking for a proper burr grinder this is not what it says it is. The grinding mechanism is not a burr grinder and instead just a bunch of blades. It’s incredibly misleading to market this device as a burr grinder. Very disappointed and feel ripped off.

This is my first coffee grinder so I have nothing to compare it to, however, it works very well and only takes a few seconds to get a coarse grind for my fancy new French press coffee maker.
I do find it quite loud though, compared to a blender or magic bullet. It sends my cats running out of the kitchen and wakes up my sleeping husband so on weekends I need to grind enough for a few days or wait until he’s awake before I use it. But wow, best coffee I’ve ever had. It really does make a huge difference grinding the beans right before you drink it instead of buying pre-ground coffee or grinding it the day before.
My only real issue with this grinder is that it’s very hard to clean. I was hoping to use it for a few different things but that’s definitely not going to be possible because you really can’t get in there to clean it thoroughly enough.
But overall for the price and effectiveness, I’m happy with it and would recommend it as a coffee grinder.

Stopped working after two months. I didn’t do anything special to it. As usual I cleaned it and put it back in the drawer. When I took it out ready to grind my morning coffee it wasn’t working… I tried to fix the blade or whatever but no succes. This grinder was more expensive than my coffee maker which still works! Goodbye Krups! The promising reviews are misleading, these grinders break down prematurely.

I bought one of these nearly 4 years ago, and it’s still going strong after almost daily use. Highly recommend. A lot of coffee snobs will laud burr grinders over a twin bladed mill, but for use in a french press, mocha pot, or aeropress I’ve managed perfectly well to achieve the grind that I want to make my coffee.
If this is your first foray into grinding your own coffee beans then I would look no further!

What’s annoying is that someone else wrote a review saying they received a used machine that smelled like old coffee and still had grinds in it. Well, I should have listened to that review.. because I received my machine, looked inside the box and there was no instruction manual, there were coffee grinds in the entire unit and it smelled like old coffee. Go and buy one from a store because apparently, Amazon will send you old machines that other people didn’t like.
