Great coffee grinder for morning coffee addicts.

Very happy with this grinder. Replaced a 10 year old Capresso that would no longer come apart for cleaning and could no longer be adjusted for grind level. It was also a regular (non-conical) burr grinder and it made phenomenal coffee, both for our Bunn and for our espresso machine. We didn't want to go above $30-$35 range so chose this one instead. It comes apart more easily than our old one (great for cleaning). It has the words "fine" and "course" on the adjuster so I won't forget which way to go (on the old one I never could remember if 1 was fine or course!!). And I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the bean hopper on top is blocked from view by the silver "Krups" pedestal. Bean hoppers get so greasy and grimy with coffee oil that they don't stay looking cool for very long. And the button to turn it on is huge and required only one finger, which our 5-year old thinks is super fun. Great design, Krups!

Does just one thing, but does it well!

Okay, this is a simple machine, and it does just ONE THING, but OMG it does it well. I actually have two of these grinders: one for spices, and another one for coffee beans. I’ve used them every day or multiple times a day for years, and they just keep on ticking. Just put your whole spices in with the blades, put the lid on, and press down on the button until the spices are ground to your liking. I typically pulse the motor instead of running it constantly — a long run tends to make it heat up a bit. After dumping the ground spices out, a couple swipes with my finger around the grinding bowl will dislodge most of the stray spices. After I’m done, I hand-wash the lid and wipe down the bowl with a damp paper towel, then let it dry or hurry it up myself with a dry paper towel, and it’s ready to go again. I store it with the lid off so the bowl and lid stay very dry, which minimizes spice clumping. I’ve had my grinders for years and used them frequently and they’re still going strong. I’d buy another one in an instant if something happened to mine. In fact, I’ve bought several more and given them away to family members who've expressed an interest in grinding their own spices. A word of caution about cleaning: Do not put water into the bowl where the blades are. This should be elementary, but a couple years ago I got annoyed with swiping the bowl with a damp paper towel to clean it because no matter how hard I tried there was always a bit of spice left behind around the blade shaft, under the blades, or along the seam between the metal bowl and plastic side. So I started sloshing a liiiittle water in there, maybe a couple tablespoons, and was gratified to see the bowl nice and clean… but a couple days later the motor started to sputter. It sounded terrible and I was afraid my beloved spice grinder was going to die. I was so worried, in fact, that I bought another one from Amazon so I wouldn't be without my grinder for even a single day. Then I made the connection with the water. I stopped sloshing water in there, and after a couple days to dry out the spice grinder was working perfectly again and has worked fine ever since (that was two years ago). And the extra grinder? I gave it to another family member who wanted to grind her own spices. I’ve also tried cleaning it by whizzing a couple teaspoons of dry rice in there, which worked okay but was kind of a hassle, so I just use the damp paper towel and am no longer concerned if a little spice is left behind. I use the grinder for cumin, coriander, and sometimes other savory spices like allspice, fennel seed, white peppercorns etc., which all taste good together, so I am no longer bothered by having a little bit of spice residue in my grinder. If I grind something unusual, which might affect the taste of the next dish I made, I clean the grinder out much more carefully, but still with a damp paper towel: I fold it a couple times and run the corner along the seam, then run a strip of paper towel under the blades, and so forth.

Excellent Reliable Choice for Coffee Grinder

I like this coffee grinder above other styles I've used. The grinder works very well and has consistently for a few years now. This is my second one of this exact same style. I have a Jura Super Automatic coffee machine that grinds my beans internally so I gave my other one to a friend and just bought this exact same thing for replacement when I started back with my French Press for variety. I like that it holds a proper amount of beans for my French Press or my Stovetop Espresso Maker.. on the Espresso pot I can grind beans 1 time and get 3 pots out of it. I also like that the top is large and after grinding you can flip it upside down and the ground coffee is now in the top as a 'cup' which is easier to pour into the coffee pot without making a mess. It grinds well at various levels of coarseness, it is easily cleanable, the price is GREAT on here, and it has worked reliably for years. I suppose the 'burr style' grinder is better for coffee flavor but I have never been able to tell any difference between the two.

Makes Best pot of coffee but Error in instruction Book for using already ground beans

Updated 05/22/2019 Makes the best pot of coffee of all the grind-and-brews...but not without pain and misery. Must add this final note to our comments. The grinder just died. Arrrgh! Less than 2 years of use. Call us suckers, we just ordered another! It makes the BEST pot of coffee! Updated 11/14/2017 I really wanted to love this Krups grind and brew. I have owned 6 (yes, six) of the older Krups Grind and Brew 7000 series. The coffee always tasted great in the 7000. But the more recent purchases of the 7000 did not work properly; they would grind but not drip the water through. So I looked to this newer version to have solved that problem. So here comes the Krups KM785D50 today. For the first pot, one is supposed to brew 10 cups of clear water using the “Grind Off” function. The purpose of the “Grind Off” function is to be able to brew a pot of coffee with already-ground coffee. (Never put already-ground coffee through this burr grinder.). Turned it on...? Same problem as the 7000... no water processed. Did not even turn on the unit!!! ARRRRGGHH! I was able to brew a pot of coffee by using the “grind and brew” function and it behaved well. After calling customer service at Krups, we discovered an omission of a very important step in the instruction booklet. So here is how it should read, and note I am paraphrasing, new instruction in all caps... To brew with already ground beans, put in the desired amount of water. Put into the filter basket the desired amount of ground coffee. Be sure carafe is in place. Make sure your LED screen is activated, showing a blue color by pressing any button. Press “Grind Off” button once, a light will come on that switch. NOW PRESS THE “GRIND/BREW” SWITCH ONCE. A LIGHT WILL COME ON AT THAT SWITCH. AFTER A CONSIDERABLE PAUSE, WATER WILL BEGIN TO FLOW INTO THE FILTER BASKET. Success finally! This Krups coffee maker produces terrific tasting coffee with freshly ground beans. I also tried the Capresso CoffeeTEAM #464. It is nearly identical as the Krups - same functions, pot, filter, etc. although has a more flimsy feel to it. The difference is, the Capresso coffee doesn’t taste as good. Maybe because the water does not flow over all the grounds. Every pot, some are left dry. So I am back to my Krups KM785D50 and its delicious tasting coffee. It played hard to get, but we fell in love after all that!

Good grinder that works well for the cost. I have used it for flaxseed grinding only so far.

I purchased this grinder for flaxseed, because I wanted fresher, whole kernel flaxseed that I could eat 1 oz daily for health reasons. This grinder was low-cost, but works well for creating perfectly ground flaxseed for my breakfast. I have ground up to 5.5 oz of flaxseed in the grinder to test how much I would be able to grind in it, and it has done a great job whether I use 1 oz or 5.5 oz. I have not tried to grind coffee beans, since I mainly purchased the grinder for flaxseed. For cleanup, the grinder does have the flaxseed slightly stick to the blade, so cleanup takes a bit longer than it would if the parts could all be removed (if they can, I haven't figured out how to do that anyway). This is a small issue, and I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Perfect little grinder.

This is a perfect little grinder. I use it to grind seeds (flax and chia) which it does quickly and well. The one asterisk is that if someone else is sleeping within audible range, the grinding does make a sharp noise. Maybe they should make a deluxe model with a muffler :). I had one of these for something like 20 years, and it still worked fine (only discarded it because it'd been so long since I'd used it that it was too tedious to clean). I have no reason to believe this one won't last as long.

Makes the best coffee ever!!

I had the older version of this Krups Grind and Brew. It made the perfect cup of coffee every time! I was crushed when it finally didn't work anymore, but elated to find the new model here on Amazon. It's even better than the original model. Amazon always has what I need, carrying quality product lines for the best prices. My Krups arrived as promised in excellent condition. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!

Little, but works great!

He works so hard for such a little guy. I use my Krups grinder for grinding spices and coffee (I go through with a chopstick to loosen up the stragglers hanging on to the edge of the walls and also grind a piece of bread that cleans up the smells and excess grindings handing about.) That being said I find it great for people like me who just do single cups of coffee in a Kurig. It does blend a bit on the fine side, so sometimes you need to like the custom cups with a little paper to prevent sludge from happening. It's a great blender for the price and it's size, definitely!

This is wonderful!

We use this grinder daily for coffee beans. I have used it for grinding coriander seeds, and it did that just as well. It is a nice size, and looks good on the counter. It is easy to use, and easy to clean. I actually can get most of the coffee grounds out just by brushing around with the edge of a plastic measuring spoon, since the grounds want to stick by static electricity after you run the grinder. But I have used the bread grinding trick before and after the coriander seeds, and it worked great. You may want to use a rubber gripper to pull the lid off, and unplug it before you do that, since the button to grind is on the lid. The rubber gripper will give you a lot more control easing that lid off slowly so you don't throw grounds all over the counter. This is about my favorite small appliance (in a close race with the toaster).

It's probably best to have one for coffee and one for Spices

It's probably best to have one for coffee and one for Spices. B/c you don't want your coffee to taste like your spices. It's a little cumbersome to clean thoroughly. Even if you do, it still smells a bit like stale coffee (or spices). But for the price, it does the job extremely well. I've found that for coffee you can get coarse-ground with a 5-second solid push of the on button. Medium ground (my preference) for a 12 second press. And very find powder for a 20 second press. Pro-tip: Gently/slowly Shake the grinder while it's grinding to help make a more consistent grind, otherwise you end up with a mix of fine and coarsely ground particles. An absolute must for anyone that enjoys freshly ground "whole-bean" coffee made in a French Press! (compare to any chain coffee shop, you will never go back!)
