Customer Review: Can't recommend this grinder
Summary: 2 Stars
I've had this grinder for about 6 months. It does grind, though it's noisy. I find that their idea of the amount of coffee needed for, say, 4 cups is very different from mine. But these are minor problems. My biggest complaint is that it clogs nearly every time I use it. There are the minor clogs - when the oiliness of the coffee beans makes the grounds stick together and clog up the hole -- which is apparently too small -- between the grinding mechanism and the ground coffee hopper. You have to use a skewer to clear this, literally about every 2 minutes or less of grinding time. Then there are the major clogs, when a bean gets caught in the grinding mechanism, and the thing refuses to work. For this, you need to dump out any beans, remove the top container, and then take a chopstick and turn the burr part around to dislodge the bean. This happens about every other grinding session. Finally, the thing is terrifically messy, with grounds actually flying through the air as soon as you open it - I end up with coffee grounds all over me, the counter, and any nearby objects. Major cleanup necessary.
I think I'm going to go back to buying ground coffee from Starbucks.
