Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups GVX2-12 Burr Grinder, Black and Silver

Customer Review: Not a BAD grinder, but...
Summary: 2 Stars

As a grinder for drip or Aeropress, it's fine -- better than a blade grinder, for sure, creating smooth and fine grounds (but probably too fine for French press, even on the coarsest setting). The little timer knob on the front that controls how much it grinds sounds slightly silly but turns out to be a very useful tool.

BUT: ours expired after about 15 months of not-terribly-hard use... a "thermal fuse", they say, wired to the motor, that pops if it gets too warm in there. Ours ran slowly for a few seconds and then cut out altogether. It turns out this is a VERY common problem (just ask Google). Your options for replacing the fuse are: (1) Pop open the case using several screwdrivers (at once), great care, and steady hands (lest you break any of the many fragile little plastic tabs that hold the thing together), procure a new fuse from Radio Shack (if they happen to have one in stock), find and cut out the old fuse and solder in the new, and reassemble the case, or (2) ship it to an "Authorized Service Center" (at your expense, yes even if it's still under "warranty") and wait several weeks for it to come back.

Long story short, Krups, like so many other companies, ain't what they used to be. I won't buy anything with their name on it again. Life's too short to be messing around trying to repair cheap plastic landfill-fodder.

Description of Krups GVX2-12 Burr Grinder, Black and Silver

Krups GVX2-12 Burr Grinder, Black and Metal. Grinding beans just before brewing ensures the best flavor. The best method of grinding is with a Krups burr grinder which produces a highly controllable texture without overheating the beans, 17 position fineness selector, from fine to coarse, burr milling system avoids overheating, preserves the aroma, fineness selection allowing for even results.
Combining the adjustable fineness selector of Krups's burr grinder with its built-in quantity control produces the perfectly tailored cup of joe. Start by choosing from 17 different textures ranging from very fine for espresso machines to very course for use in a French press. Next, determine the number of coffee drinkers and adjust the quantity setting accordingly. As the grinder begins its work, it uses a burr milling process to produce consistently ground beans while preserving the coffee's natural aroma. The machine automatically stops once the designated quantity has been achieved and the coffee extracts easily via a removable container. Topped with a large capacity hopper, the grinder fills effortlessly and provides easy access to its removable burr for cleaning. Measuring 10 by 4-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, this tool comes with Krups's 1-year warranty. -- Amy Arnold
