The secret to delicious, flavorful coffee is locked within the bean. Coffee that's not freshly ground may be tasty but time erodes the complexities and nuances of the distinct flavors. That's why serious coffee drinkers grind the beans directly before brewing. Be it for American Coffee or Espresso or French Press, the Krups GVX1-14 uses superior burr grinding known for releasing all those properties that help make the coffee bean unique. What you gain is a more delicious coffee. Frankly, isn't that what it's all about? Appreciate your coffee more with this burr grinder from Krups. Removable ground coffee container is dishwasher safe (top rack, please) Rubber feet keep grinder firmly in place Anti-static coffee container with lid holds up to 8 ounces of ground coffee for a 12-cup pot of coffee Blue illuminated On/Off Airtight bean hopper keeps beans fresh Special safety features - Will not operate unless lid to bean hopper and coffee container are in place

Summary: Great grinder
Comment: This grinder is the greatest. It will grind down to a powder and that is what is needed for expresso etc. Also it is easy to clean.

Summary: Learning to love it
Comment: I've had this grinder for about four months, and overall, I think it is a good value for the price and features. I didn't want to spend $100's on a grinder, so after comparing different brands, prices, and features, I chose the Krups.
It's quirky, for sure, but it does get the job done! The container for the ground coffee could have been designed better, as the static electricity makes the fine coffee fly out unexpectedly. I would have liked an attached lid on the container. And the container is very touchy to slide back in -- you have to line it up just right (which I never seem to do on the first try). The small hole on the back of the container ALWAYS drops some ground coffee on the counter when you pull out the box.
The grinder sometimes free-spins as if no coffee beans have dropped down, even though the hopper is full. This is easily remedied by giving it a little jostle, but probably will cause the motor to wear out sooner than it should.
The selector for the number of cups is way off, but once you get used to it and find the right setting for your personal taste, it isn't a problem. I probably wouldn't like to be changing it and adjusting it for different quantities; we always just brew a full pot.
All in all, it does the job, and I'm satisfied with the value.

Summary: Never worked properly
Comment: Out of the box the product never ground the proper amount of beans. It would either grind too little amount, or it would jam and keep grinding all the beans regarless of the setting. We sent it back after a week of use and at least a couple of hours trying to get it to work.

Summary: Krups grinder is awesome
Comment: Bought this a month or so ago and I love it! It doesn't hold as many beans as I thought it would, but I only need to refill it about twice a week - I make coffee 7 days a week - every morning!
It's easy to use and the coffee is perfectly ground each time! I totally recommend it. AND, buying it off Amazon.com was so easy and it showed up 1 day earlier than I expected it to!
Customer Rating:
Summary: not for espresso
Comment: This is actually not even a coffee grinder. It's a device used to explore the effects of static on ground coffee particles. It's explosive and fun!
Examine the clear plastic bin walls to view magnetic field patterns in coffee. Touch the plastic in the wrong place or try to remove ground coffee to discover really fun explosion of coffee powder! The curved trajectory of the particles reminds me of illustrations of magnetic fields - or thousands of tiny fleas jumping onto your hand and wrist en masse.
If you have no choice and must make espresso with this toy, just
1. grind it two clicks away from finest setting
2. run it through again*, but this time on the finest setting
3. rationalize liberally
*Carefully shake the grinder with a rocking motion, or else ground coffee will not run through.
