"A nice Grinder"
This is the only grinder I've ever used, and I like it so far.
I like it for two reasons. First, it's not very noisy. Second, it really grinds the coffee beans to very fine powder.
I don't know about other grinder, but I wish the grinder can come with a brush to brush the coffee powder into a coffee machine since it's not easy to pull out the powder.

"Not what I expected"
I bought this Bosch Coffee Grinder to use primarily for grinding spices; I frequently have read in food/cooking magazines (e.g., Cook's Illustrated) that coffee grinders can be used for this purpose. The grinder works fairly well, and the spices were macerated pretty quickly. However, two problems became readily apparent.

First, you cannot remove the inner tray and blades or even get them wet. The directions suggest occasionally wiping them clean with a dry cloth. Unfortunately, this process does not clean it very thoroughly or get rid of any lingering scent. Even if you only use the grinder for coffee, I assume that you'd want to clean it thoroughly to prevent different varieties of coffees from contaminating each other.

Second, it leaks! I ended up with my kitchen counter covered with a fine dusting of spices, even when I pushed on the lid to help make it tighter.

It is possible that these two problems are not an issue for grinding coffee, and the grinder did admittedly crush the spices pretty well. However, I'm very disappointed with this purchase, and it seems as though quite a few other reviewers have been as well. Not recommended.


"Grinds fast but not thoroughly"
This grinder grinds very quickly, possibly due to the slanted bottom surface. However, I have found that it is difficult to get the beans evenly ground. If I grind for a short time most of the grind consistency is just right, but somehow I always end up with a few beans that have gone untouched. If I grind a little bit longer, the beans get too powdery and this does not make good coffee. Also is somewhat small on capacity and as someone else said, the lid does not fit tight at all. One additional minor point - the cord does not have any strain relief. I would guess that after a year or two of wrapping and unwrapping it around the grinder, it will begin to crack where it goes into the base of the grinder.

"Save your $20, and choose another better one"
I have used it for one month, and I have bad experience. It can't make an even grind. The coffee you made will be suck.
Save you $20, and choose a $50 one, such as Braun KMM30.

"Not what I was hoping for."
I was shopping for a new coffee grinder because of my frustration with my old one (a toastmaster). The old one leaves grinds all over, has too small a lid (which frequently sticks). I thought this was a small amount to spend to start the day better. Because it had a 5 star rating, I bought this grinder instead of the one I had planned on getting- the krups. I think I made a bad decision. I KNOW the Krups would have solved those problems.

What the other folks have said is true- it does make a nice even grind...but, there are other areas in which it does not excel. Instead of doing away with my other frustrations, this created new ones.
The day after I opened the box, I started my day by vacuuming. The lid doesn't lock or even fit tight. If you hit the button wrong, the lid comes off sending grinds flying everywhere! In addition, while it may not be possible (technically) to operate without the lid, if it comes off, the blade continues to spin for a minute or two, so, you could very easily cut yourself. I don't know of any other grinder where this is even a remote possibility. In addition, the lid holds, perhaps, half an ounce making it very impractical as a coffee grinder, though I can see that it might be Ok for spices if you only want a small amount.

I would recommend either the Braun or Krups over this machine. I wish someone had said these things before I bought this... I really don't need a third grinder.
