"Beware- Achilles heel !"
Very disappointed. I have bought TWO of these grinders. A very small piece of plastic broke off the cap of the first one, making it inoperable! The plastic started breaking off the lip of the second one. It's a great grinder but unfortunately it has flimsy parts.

"Powerful Krups Grinder"
I use this grinder to grind flaxseed which I sprinkle on foods to get my healthy Omega3 oils each day. It does a wonderful job.

"Best Coffee Grinder I've Owned"
I've been grinding my own coffee beans since the early eighties and since then I've owned a few different grinders, including the Krups Fast Touch and a similarly priced model made by Braun. I also own a burr grinder, which is good when I want to grind enough beans to last a few days or a week. The Krups GX4100 is by far my favorite. It's quiet, the lid locks on during grinding, it grinds fast, it feels powerful, I like the high tech look, and ground coffee seems to stick to the inside of the lid and the grinder far less than with cheaper grinders. It is necessary for me to carefully brush the ground coffee from the lid and grinder into a coffee filter, but for me this is part of the ritual of preparing a nice cup of coffee from freshly ground beans. I'm glad I purchased this grinder.

"Not Very Happy"
I have a Krups GX 4100 and have used it for a few years until recently when the little plastic peg under the swivel top cracked, then broke off rendering the unit unusable. Now I'm looking for new, better coffee grinder. As with most of the other reviewers, I also experienced the problem of static electricity spilling coffee grounds all over the counter no matter how carefully I was. I expect more from Krups.

"good"
Great coffee grinder for drip coffee makers, unfortunately no matter how carefully one removes the cover, coffee always seems to land on the counter.
