MelittaMolino Coffee Grinder, 1019-01, Electric Coffee Grinder, Flat Grinding Disc, Black/Red

Is a slimline style that fits nicely alongside my Casabrews machine. I doesn't have an unsightly protruding bowl type hopper and it actually grinds the beans rather than chopping them in the way that some so-called grinders perform. The output is finely adjustable and after just a couple of attempts to modify the setting it now delivers precisely a single portion every time. I is a joy to use.

With coffee grinders you can spend an absolute fortune to get something slightly better, quieter or more stylish but what the Melitta is a low cost but well built entry-level, small grinder which has 17 different grind settings suitable for different brewing methods.

Easy to operate machine . Opening the ground coffee holder is a bit fiddly .

Works really well, I like how you can choose the grind,the amount. Easy to use and nice features.

Bought this to grind coffee for my espresso machine and it’s amazing. It has 3 settings for espresso and I actually use between numbers 2-3 depending on the roast I have and find they’re perfect and it’s great that you can go even finer if needed. 100% grinds fine enough for espresso just as good as some much more expensive machines and I like that I can also grind beans for my cafetière as well. Only problem is it’s a little messy the way the pot that collects the grinds slides into the machine and it isn’t the easiest to clean.

I paid around £22 for this, so in relation to that price this is definitely great value. It grinds coarse as well as fine, in fact it even grinds too fine for my espresso machine so I have to dial it back a bit, nice and even and works really well. Cleaning it is relatively easy, with most parts coming off and are able to be washed, other parts need wiping or dusting with the included brush.For the price I paid you'll generally be looking at blade grinders, so to have a burr type grinder (I believe in this one it's a disc grinder or something) for the same price it's really nice to have. Would definitely recommend at the price

It grinds the coffee is a suitable mannerSeem to produce a lot of static making it quite messy to empty the coffee and the machine gets dirty quickly so dont loose the brushKrupps is a better grinder but I had 2 which lasted less than 12 monthsLets hope this lasts longer

It's not perfect, so 4 stars, but I'm happy and satisfied. Yes the ground coffee sticks electrostatically to the container and it is certainly not quiet, but it's quieter and quicker than a basic grinder.There is some controversy over the fineness of the grind. I use a mocha pot to make espresso quality and strength coffee and it works fine with that. The powder is not as fine as, say, Lavazza Espresso, but nearly, and certainly finer than most pre-ground coffee.Of course, I didn't read the manual and started it on setting 17, realised my mistake, and switched it to 1. The result was not good and did not improve until I took the grind plate out and cleaned it and the recess. It seems reasonable that you should do this if trying to get a finer grind - you have to clear out the junk that's got between the plates.There is a rather odd instruction about refitting the plate, which is best to follow exactly - it says to put the plate back in and then turn IT anticlockwise until the outside knob gets to 17. The reasoning behind this is that it makes sure the plate fits firmly behind the retainer (it screws in anticlockwise) and that is essential, especially if you're using setting 1. Note that you have to use the switch on the side to reset the grade to the desired level.
