Messy
on January 8, 2023
Posted by: Messy grinds
from Orillia
I got this grinder about 2 years ago and I have been using it almost everyday since. The grind is consistent and the grinder has never had any mechanical problems.
The only problem is the mess. The design for this grinder’s basket allows for quite a lot of grinds to fall out of the machine while grinding the beans. When you take the basket out more grinds fall out of the shoot that lands to the basket onto the counter. Then when you open the basket more grinds fall off of the sides and the lid.
Because of this, I can only give it 3 stars. Consistent grinds but also a consistent mess with every use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This grinder has auto shutoff!
on September 12, 2020

from Port Coquitlam
I don't know why other reviews say this grinder has no auto shutoff. I have owned this for a year and it has always performed well. There is a timer at the front and grind set on the side. I had to play with the grind setting but once done that's it!!. A great great burr grinder that out performs a blade grinder every time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good at first...

Pretty sure most people writing their reviews just got the grinder. It's good at first, but the quality starts to go down after a couple months. Grind size is not consistent, the timer is also inconsistent, fine grind is like regular grind - not espresso, static on the side of the bin is ridiculous. I wish I'd done my research before purchasing this - I would NOT recommend.

Good grinder, limited settings
on January 27, 2020

This is a good grinder at a good price when on sale. The main issue we had with it is the "fine" grind is more like a regular grind so it ended up not being useful for espresso which was our primary reason for purchasing the grinder in the first place.

Works Very for Espresso
on October 2, 2020
Posted by: Davy613
from OTTAWA
I have been using this grinder everyday for a few weeks now and it works very well for making espresso. I have not been using it long enough to comment on the durability but it is well built. I found the grind size is more than fine enough for making espresso. In fact, with Costco (Starbucks) Espresso Dark Roast beans, the finest setting on the grinder gives the consistency of something very close to all purpose flour and that is too fine for espresso. I end up dialing the grind size back a bit to get it just right for 20s pulling a double espresso.

Do not buy!

I have owned this for only a few months and it is already not working! The fine grind is not very fine and it keeps stopping. I will be looking to purchase another grinder and throw this one out. I did not purchase this from Best Buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unfortunately, I received a dud. Wouldn't power up with the lid securely in place.

Expresso burr grinder
on December 3, 2020
Posted by: Grind It
from Vernon, BC
This grinder, with its burr grinder plates does a great job for making the fine grind necessary for a great shot of expresso. It also does courser grinds for all other brews. Good price, no burned taste and minimal mess with this fine little machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!
