27 Years of Flawless Operation:
I don't know how Krups makes money; this coffee grinder is something I have used every morning for more than 27 years. I have few possessions that have served me as well as this grinder. I don't know about spices, etc, but this appliance has served me well. It is the Toyota of appliances, many thousand of miles, often used more than once a day, and still humming. What that everything in life were as dependable as my Krups grinder.
Twenty years - time for a new one:
I bought two of these actually a bit over 20 yrs. ago. My brother's needed replacing last year so I bought a Cuisinart which barely grinds the coffee now in less than a year. What a waste of money! My own Krups needs replacing now because the blades have become dull but it is still running. I'm amazed at some of the negative reviews. And yes, we drink lots of coffee so these little machines have had quite a workout. I plan on buying another Krups so I hope they still make them like they used to!
User:
Overall, nice product but can't be used for espresso. If you are not planning on making an espresso grind, then this grinder is just fine. I bought it hoping to use it for my espresso machine but it turned out (as another reviewer has mentioned) it is not designed and suitable for that purpose. You can still do it but then the blades produce a fine powder that sticks together and prevents the water from going through. At best, you can make a good cup of espresso by turning the pump on and off but that's... more info
Had One For Years:
I had this coffee grinder for a number of years and somehow it got lost when I moved. It came with a coffee maker as a free gift a number of years ago and it way out lived the coffee maker. I was still using the grinder until about two years ago when it was lost. Maybe because I am not the biggest coffee drinker but I do like certain flavored coffees and prefer to grind the beans myself. I do recommend this grinder great price.
