Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black
Customer Review: Faulty safty switch, impossible to clean well.
Summary: 3 Stars
Milling spices with the slightest bit of moisture or oil left in them makes this machine difficult to clean.
It does a great job, and will mill stuff to a fine powder if you allow.
However the blades and stainless milling cup do not come out for cleaning or service.
Additionaly the power switch works like a food processor in that the lid must be on for it to work. In about 2 weeks of use ours got stuck in the on position down inside the mill body. Now the machine turns off and on when you plug it in and unplug it.
The problem here is that if you aren't thinking actively about the process, at best you wind up with a mess all over the kitchen. If fingers happen to be in the way .. well the blades are sharp and moving really fast.
I can see that there is some took needed to hold the blades and a special wrench needed to turn the nut that holds the blade in place. The cup will probably come out after this is removed. Those items are not available to the public. And the mill is cheap enough that it beggs the question on if it's worth servicing or just replacing. However that could get expensive quickly if you go through several. I personaly hate the idea of just dumping a relatively new aplience that only needs to have it's inner parts cleaned or a spring replaced because it's economically not worth it. That isn't very "green" if it's important to you.
On the other hand ome people above seem never to have had a problem with theirs. It could just be mine or an operator error.
The lid is plastic and plastic stains from some spices. Oil and Plastic are chemically close and this is why some spices (which contain oils) will discolor the lid. the oil elements try to bond to each other. It's the same as trying to clean greas out of a plastic bowl.
Description of Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black
203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder - Love your coffee? Here's a quick, easy, affordable way to increase your satisfaction when enjoying a cup of coffee. Grinding coffee directly before brewing helps preserve natural oils and flavors that are particular to the coffee bean. The result is a more sophisticated taste and aroma that you'll taste, smell, and feel. You're in the Coffee Zone. And that's what it's all about. Color - BlackNothing beats a freshly ground, freshly brewed cuppa joe to start the day, and with this grinder, you can have up to 20 cups' worth of beans at a time. The understated black color and contemporary oval design fit in well with any kitchen d?cor, while the small size (just 6 inches high) doesn't take up too much premium counter space. Stainless-steel blades guarantee a long life and an even grind, whether you use this grinder for coffee, spices, nuts, or even whole grains. --Jill Lightner
