This is the absolute best grinder I’ve ever used. I didn’t want to write a long drawn-out review, but it’s so useful I felt compelled to write something.I always do a lot of research before buying anything. I’m definitely THAT guy. This made it on a short list of grinders after an absurd amount of time (literally hours) of researching and watching videos. It’s probably a sickness doing that thorough of research for a sub-$50 purchase, but I digress. After that research I pulled the trigger and bought this one, and couldn’t be happier I did. That was a little while ago, probably a year and a half, and I’ve bought multiple ones for my friends since.This grinder has an extremely consistent grind and achieves that grind in literally seconds (not hyperbole whatsoever).It has a reasonable capacity too. It’s not Marianna’s-Trench level of capacity like some, but it doesn’t feel like I’m grinding coffee for ants either like some others. It’s perfect for making a batch of brew.It has held up very well under pretty hard and consistent use, with both my toddler son and me battering it to get coffee unpacked after a fine-grind.It’s even easy to clean. I use a dry napkin, get the majority of the leftover, then just run the metal part under the sink on low. It fills up, I pour it out, wipe it down and botta boom botta bing, it’s like new.Super simple, effective and straightforward kitchen tool.Definitely get it. Use my research-sickness to your advantage and just get it.

I have to say that I'm rarely impressed at product quality anymore because I hardly ever see it.Even some of my favorite brands of just gone down the toilet.This one though surprised me.Whoever designed this coffee press must drink coffee because the removable stainless steel container that the coffee beans go in is brilliant! 🤓One of my pet peeves of coffee grinders is how do you clean out the inside bowl without getting water inside of the mechanical mechanisms? This solves that issue flawlessly.Well thought out ...Furthermore, the grinder is absolutely beautiful.Grinders are usually one color and you might get a modern one but they're just a grinder. However, every time I look at this one, I think it's very elegant and beautifully done.Again, well thought out.Another thing I really appreciate is the ability to wrap the cord underneath it and tuck it away in the corner of the kitchen.Again, well thought out ...The one drawback, if you can say that, is the lid.I'm a neat freak and so I want that lid completely dried out before I place it back on the top of the grinder. That's almost impossible to do with a cloth, though, because you just can't get between the two lips on the lid.Having said that, I found if I lay the lid on sideways on top of the grinder the air will get up In between the lips of the lead and it will air dry eventually so I've come to peace with that.As for the grinding of the coffee while that's just a whole other level.For one it is incredibly quiet.I felt like I went from using a tank to using a fan.The quietness is unreal. Living in apartment I'm always concerned that people in other apartments can hear what I'm doing and with this grinder I grind anytime I want because I know it's so quiet.Well thought out ...The grinding of the beans is amazingly fast and thorough.I did struggle with that at the beginning as some people on here have stated here but I found as a coffee press user if I do five spins - possibly six - I get the beans just about where I want them.Perfection isn't my goal - I'm just looking to make sure that my beans aren't too ground but yet that they're ground enough so the beans don't get caught in the mash of the coffee while making a decent cuppa coffee.I will definitely keep coming back to Krupps and looking at their products because this was so well produced and thought out. I was truly impressed, especially for the price.To be honest, having lived in Germany, I don't know why I'm surprised because the Germans are really good at what they produce/build.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Loved my krups grinder I've had since 1990... yes, 35 years. It still worked fine but someone tried to grind something super hard in the old one that it wasn't designed for. I can't even remember what it was. It chipped,cracked the edge of the lid all the way around the entire lid, way back 35 years ago, but it worked so well and never fell apart, so, I kept it and have ground coffee beans in it regularly since then. When I came across this one- IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE OLDER ONE that works perfectly. I thought... well, for this great price, I'm going to try it and see if it's as good. IT IS! Now I have a pristine grinder that works just as good as the original. VERY happy!
