Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black
Customer Review: All blades Grinders need improvement
Summary: 4 Stars
I currently own 3 different blade grinders and they all suffer from the same problem which is that they do not grind coffee evenly so that you end up with large chunks of coffee among the finer ground particles. Burr grinders are superior but they cost about 4 times as much as a blade grinder and are quite a big larger.Customer Review: Cheap, works, short cord
Summary: 4 Stars
Whaddya want for 20 bucks? This thing works fine. If you are a coffee nut then spend more and get something better. Only one complaint: the cord is 27". I guess that would be an advantage if you happen to have an outlet in the right place. As for the cleaning difficulties that some people complained about, a damp paper towel does the job.Customer Review: Pretty good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
This coffee grinder is small, convenient, and, most importantly, inexpensive.
However, it does not grind very evenly and although I clean it fairly regularly per instructions, it produces an odd smell, almost like burning coffee.
I would recommend it to individuals just starting to grind their own coffee or looking for convenient travel-sized units (it does require an outlet, however), but not to more experienced coffee drinkers or those looking for high quality.
Customer Review: A very quiet and efficient coffe grinder
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband likes freshly ground coffee every morning...at 5:00 when I'm still asleep. I hated his last one because I could hear it thru a closed door...upstairs. The Krups is very quiet and does a quick job. Customer Review: Great Spice Grinder
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for grinding spices. The price is good, with free shipping, and the grinding compartment seems superior to my old Cuisinart. With my old grinder, the mostly plastic blade disintegrated after limited use. Nothing worse then ground plastic in your food. As with every grinder I've used, for coffee or spices, there's a static buildup and the grounds prefer to stay in the grounds compartment. Not really sure how to prevent that. A paint brush type of tool helps to remove all of the contents, but some do tend to remain. As such, I would not use a grinder for both spices and coffee. The blade seems to be mostly metal, which hopefully translates to an extended blade life.
