KEENSTARElectric Burr Coffee Grinder, Adjustable Coffee Bean Grinder with 20 Precise Grind Settings for for French Press, Drip Coffee, and Espresso, Professional Bean Grinder, Black

I have had several different brands of coffee grinders, some of which I reserved for herbs, nuts and seeds, others which I have used exclusively for coffee. I like that this grinder offers the user 20 different grinds, from extra-extra coarse through extra-extra fine, so achieving a grind fine enough to make espresso is a snap. I have not tried this machine with anything really hard and big like a whole nutmeg - I would still use a hand file to get fresh nutmeg. But for coffee beans, this grinder has more than enough power, and delivers it quickly. It does the job well, is easy to clean, and is attractive and compact in the counter. I am glad to have this in my morning kitchen!

You can't expect a lot for the money, but this does the course grind I want for my French press. I would not buy this for fine grind needs like espresso. BTW... It's noisy and the motor runs like it's going to become airborne!

This device does a wonderful job grinding coffee—it has enough capacity for a full pot of delicious fresh-brewed coffee. The adjustable grind setting allowed me to find what works best for my coffee maker, and the hopper capacity is perfect for me to have fresh-ground coffee daily.The downside is the amount of plastic that comes in contact with the coffee...

Bought this to grind coffee for my french press. Regular coffee was too fine. I'd say that fifty percent of the beans came out very fine. No matter what the course setting was they were still huge chunks.I was looking forward to being able to dial my needs in. Going to try this for about a week or so and may return. I'll update my post if anything changes. For the moment this is definitely a no go.*update- I've come accustomed to it now. Grind still not very consistent impo. Worth the money though I guess. I do like the fact that you can store ground coffee in it though.

I have only used the finest setting and it worked great. Other than the fine grounds sticking to the plastic container they fall into, the thing worked great.

This compact grinder is powerful. It has several settings for pour-over, drip, or espresso coffee. Besides the price and grinding capability, my favorite feature is the sealable chamber that holds the grinds. I put my grounds in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. The price is a bargain. This grinder would make a great housewarming gift. It cleans easily.

This coffee grinder works great and does exactly what I needed it to. It makes a fine grind, great for espresso machines. Noise is standard, not much can be done about that. Great product and I’m satisfied with it!

I have a blade coffee mill that I use to make very fine grinds for a pour-over cone drip. Supposedly, blade grinders "burn" the coffee a bit as the whirling blade gets the beans hot when chopping to a very fine ground. A burr grinder supposedly can get the same even ground without the burn.The burr grinder can set the size to grind beans better than a blade grinder, which is just guess work. This one has 20 click settings on a wheel to select size (1=coarse; 20=fine).*Produces uniform grounds*Top Hopper holds up 2 cups of coffee beans*Wide variety of grind settings also allows adjustment in the size for different types of coffee beans or different brew types.*The grind setting dial "clicks" for each number so it doesn't drift.*Small footprint, so it doesn't take up too much counter or cabinet space (About 4" x 9").*It seems to have a low retention - almost everything makes it to the catch hopper.*There were no clumps although the catch hopper held the fine grinds to the sides and lid via static electricity.* The top grinder in the top hopper comes out with a twist and lift, but nothing else on top separates. The catchment hopper removes by pulling out. A small spring loaded ball bearing snaps it into place.*Both the tabs in the top hopper and in the catchment hopper have to be fully in place before the switch works. The top tabs might be delicate and the machine will not work if one breaks off.*The switch is fully off/on with no need to hold on.It handled hard coffee beans with no problem.Tried softer coriander on finest setting and it ground it up but not as fine on the same #20 fine grind setting as the coffee.The after-brew "paste" seemed just as fine as produced by my blade grinder.*Cleaning - the removable parts can go on the top rack of a dishwasher, but hand rinsing works well. Water can be used to rinse out the grinding area but it does say "Do not immerse in water."Came in X-Black, Y-Black, & Z-Black and I couldn't tell the difference. Everything in the product description is the same, even the model number, so I got the Z just for the letter. It looks just like the photo for the X version.So far, I can't tell the difference in coffee taste between this "burr grinder" and my old "blade grinder." This burr grinder is larger than the blade grinder and doesn't fit as well in a cupboard. It does have the advantage of grinding and storing a bit more coffee ahead of time instead of grinding for each use.4 stars - It seems to work, but is a bit messier than a simple blade grinder (grounds stick to lid and canister).
