De'Longhi Burr Coffee Grinder with Grind Selector and Quantity Control, Stainless

I PURCHASED A CAPRESSO AND IT FAILED AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT. BACK IT WENT. I THEN GOT A CUISINART. IT WORKED TWICE, BROKE, BACK IT WENT. I THEN ORDERED AND RECEIVED A DeLonghi AND IT SEEMS TO BE WELL MADE AND WORKED WELL.WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE. BUT IN THE MEAN TIME I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. IT IS COMPACT AND DOES USE MUCH COUNTER SPACE. EASY TO USE AND EASY TO CLEAN. ADDENDUM # 1 --- SO FAR IT HAS PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY. VERY EASY TO CLEAN AND ASSEMBLE. ALSO, THE REMOVABLE COFFEE BIN IS DISHWASHER SAFE. IT IS FAIRLY QUIET AND DOES A GREAT JOB. SO FAR---SO GOOD! GRINDS THE BEANS TO PERFECTION. ADDENDUM # 2 (FOUR DAYS LATER)---- WELL THIS MORNING I THOUGHT I WOULD REALLY CLEAN THE MACHINE AND I REMOVED THE UPPER BURR GRINDER AS INSTRUCTED. ALL WENT WELL. I RE-ASSEMBLED THE MACHINE AND IT DID NOT START. I TRIED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT. STILL NO LUCK. THEN BY ACCIDENT I RE-INSERTED THE COFFEE CONTAINER THAT CATCHES THE GROUND COFFEE AND IT DID INDEED START. NO WHERE IN THE INSTRUCTIONS DID IT SAY THE GROUND COFFEE CONTAINER NEEDS TO BE INSERTED FOR IT TO RUN. JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF PRODUCTS WE HAVE MANUFACTURED IN CHINA. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE USA??? WE CAN'T EVEN MAKE COFFEE GRINDERS NOW??? THIS GRINDER IS STILL ONE OF THE BEST!! ADDENDUM # 3 --- PURRRRRFECT. SO FAR SO GOOD. SECOND WEEK AND ALL IS GREAT.WHAT THE FUTURE HAS IN STORE IS STILL OPEN. I AM OPTIMISTIC. THE GRINDER IS WORKING AS ADVERTISED AND WE LOVE IT. GRINDS WELL AND VERY EASY TO CLEAN AND ASSEMBLE AND DISASSEMBLE. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN THE NEXT WEEK???? IT BREWS DELICIOUS CUP OF COFFEE. WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. WE LIKED IT SOOOOO MUCH WE GOT ONE FOR OUR DAUGHTER. ADDENDUM # 4 ------ STILL WORKING WONDERFULLY. THE BEST AND MOST RELIABLE ONE I HAVE EVER HAD. THE FIRST TWO BRANDS BROKE AFTER A FEW DAYS AND ONE BROKE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. MY DAUGHTER ALSO LOVES HER GRINDER AND HAS HAD NO PROBLEMS. REALLY TOOOOO BAD WE COULDN'T MAKE THEM IN THIS COUNTRY AND GIVE AMERICANS THE WORK AND PAY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BURR GRINDER. ADDENDUM # 5 --------WELL IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH NOW AND ALL IS GREAT AND THE GRINDER IS FLAWLESS. MY DAUGHTER ALSO PURCHASED THE SAME ONE AND IT ALSO IS OUT-STANDING. SOME PEOPLE NIT-PICK ABOUT STUPID THINGS! WELL, HELL, NOTHING IS PERFECT. WE HAVE HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THIS GRINDER.DOES A GREAT JOB AND EASY TO MAINTAIN AND CLEAN. THE CAPRESSO WE HAD WAS A PIECE OF CRAP AS WAS THE CUISINART. THEY EITHER BROKE AFTER A SHORT TIME OR ARRIVED DEFECTIVE. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GRINDER. ADDENDUM # 6 --- WELL IT HAS BEEN ABOUT TWO-THREE MONTHS NOW AND STILL WORKING GREAT. ONLY PROBLEM IS WHEN IT IS TIME TO REMOVE THE GRINDER INSIDE TO CLEAN IT, IT TENDS TO BE VERY DIFFICULT, AFTER SOME ELBOW GREASE IT DOES COME OUT. MAYBE IF I DID IT MORE FREQUENTLY, IT WOULD BE EASIER AND RELEASE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GRINDER.

I've had this product before and I knew what I was buying right off the bet. An overall good quality, medium professional range grinder, with an easy interface, which is comfortable to operate and doesn't take too much space on your kitchen. I got what I asked for, but as soon as I unpacked the box I noticed that the original packaging has seen some days - it was bent up and untaped. The item inside has also been clearly handled before. It was clean but scratches from prior use remained on the sides of the device, and one of the detachable pieces had a poorly mended crack on it, visible in the pictures. Disappointing, especially since I paid full price for a "new" device.

Just purchased this when our old burr grinder died. I purchased after liking the reviews that said it was quiet, and also liking the clean lines of it. It's definitely tons quieter than our old one, but the surprise benefit is that it actually makes a better cup of coffee and reduces the amount of beans we use too. With our other grinder, we learned to set it to grind 8 cups in order to brew a nice strong 6 cups (we like our coffee dark and strong). The first time we used this grinder, we tested it with a 6 cup grind for a 6 cup pot. Surprise, it was too strong - - - we had to add 2 more cups of water to make it palatable. After trial and error, we found a 5 cup grind makes a perfect 6 cup carafe. We can only deduce that this grinder produces a more efficient, accurate and clean grind, with less waste. At $15/lb for coffee, the fact that this grinder is saving us money this way, is a nice surprise too. Cons: my only peeve, is that the bean reservoir is quite small and needs to be refilled about every other time. I guess this keeps the beans fresh, but not having to refill it as often would be nice. - others have complained about the static burst of grinds that make a mess. Unfortunately, that's what you get with plastic - there's no way around that. It seems to lessen this problem if you 1) wait a minute after grinding before opening and scooping, and 2) give the grinder a couple taps on the side before removing container. ** update October 2016 * * yes, we've had this a couple of years now and it's still going strong until . . . about a month ago, I noticed that the coffee would not feed automatically. I'd push the start button and it would begin grinding, then just whirr when the beans didn't fall into the grinder. I figured since it was probably time to buy a new grinder, there'd be no harm in my fiddling with this to see if I could "fix" it. The first thing I did was empty the beans and give the reserve bin a good wiping down - - no luck. The second thing I did was remove the center feeding core (just twist left to unlock). Wow - - - the packed and caked coffee in that core was astonishing. The oils from the beans combined with the fine grind created caked-on clumps that I had to scrape and flake off using a toothpick. It's no wonder the beans weren't feeding through! I gave it a good cleaning, washed and dried well, replaced it and it's again working perfectly like new.

Ottimo prodotto macina benissimo a tutte le gradazioni, esce un caffè perfetto

Took lot of time for the seller to deliver the product. Very disappointed after receiving the product as this works with 110watts power and is not suitable for Indian conditions. No such info was there in the product description. Don't buy this product. Complete waste of money.

Una gran adquisición para mi coffee corner, funcional y de calidad
