"Great Grinder"
This is the third Braun Coffee grinder I've owned. One had to be replaced after 20 years of rough service and I have another for camp!

"I've owned the Braun KSM2 for 8 years now.... "
I requested a coffee grinder for my birthday in 2000 and received this model (which is listed 4 or 5 different times on Amazon).

The blades are sharp and have no problem grinding any quality bean. I've also used it to grind flax seeds beautifully, as well as almonds. My daughter dropped the clear plastic upper portion of the grinder in 2003 and a piece broke off, leaving a 'chip' in the plastic cup but we still continued to use it, just carefully pouring the coffee grounds out and avoiding that side.

The grounds, when ground fine (for espresso, etc.) do tend to congregate up around the tiny opening where the power button presses down to start the grind and if clogged, the button won't completely press down. However, in 8 years of owning this, I've only cleaned the tiny opening twice, which was as much work as using the tip of a knife to scribble back and forth and knock the grinds out. It took literally 2 seconds. And cleaning it twice in 8 years isn't bad.

The power cord wraps around the bottom which makes it look nicer on the counter. Overall a nice grinder.

We are looking for a new one now for two reasons; 1) it would be nice to have a grinder that doesn't have a broken cup (LOL) and 2. It's LOUD. About 6 years ago I regularly just learned to wrap a kitchen hand towel around it before pressing the button to muffle the sound and not wake the children in the early morning as I make coffee about an hour before they wake.


"excellent"
I am glad being amazon customer, service is fast, accurate, reliable and safe. Thank you amazon
Of course Braun product is OK.


" not bad"
it's a decent grinder, although noisy, but my gripe is the size of the container, particularly the bottom part. I have to fill the top cover with coffee beans, then flip the base upside down and fit it into the cover. After grinding I basically have to do the same thing, flip it, tap soundly on the countertop a few times, and then use the cup to fill the coffeemaker. I preferred the Regal I had prior, but it died of old age.

"Piece of Junk"
The switch broke on the first use. The cost of shipping to replace it would have been more than the unit.
