Review: We have been using these grinders for 18 years, replacing them every 6-7 years (Only love is forever!). And I had used one for some years before we were married. They are excellent, reliable units, producing great coffee consistently. I have always use ...

Pros: consistent grind, convenient bean storage

Cons: better plan to wipe up afterward!

Review: I graduated to this grinder from several of the blade-type units. Each type has its advantages but these are the main advantages of this type:

1) you can set the timer to grind the exact amount you need for your pot.

Pros: Great coffee, easy to maintain

Cons: Takes up more room than some

Review: Who says you can't buy happiness? Just the smell of fresh ground coffee makes me happy! I bought my beloved Braun coffee grinder last year at Sam's Club for $14.97, mainly because the price was right and it came with a free pound of coffee. Well, it has...

Pros: Excellent grinding results, durable, inexpensive

Cons: None that I can think of

Review: This is an excellent grinder for espresso. You can adjust to very fine grind or course for French press coffee. I use mine very often, so far it is very reliable.

The container which holds the beans is very airtight, I usually fill it up and...

Pros: Multiple setting speeds, ease of use.

Cons: Cost a bit more than traditional grinders

Review: There is nothing like the taste and smell of freshly ground coffee. But your traditional home grinders often all grind it the same and it is a mess to clean up afterward. This product allows you to set the grind and then grinds it into a separate...

Pros: Consistency of grinds

Cons: none

Pros: overall good grinder for the money

Cons: can be messy, improper assembly gives a big mess, hard to clean

The Bottom Line: This burr grinder is a respectable, entry-level model and will produce a good, although not perfect, grind.

Review: Braun Coffee Grinder KMM 30

Why this model

I bought this burr grinder about 1.5 years ago because I wanted to be able to get a more consistent grind to my coffee than my old blade grinder is capable of giving. When...

Pros: Simple and easy, good cord storage, it has never complained about my singing.

Cons: None, maybe a little high price but worth it.

The Bottom Line: Its well designed, it works and its simple.

Review: For years I kept my old Braun KSM 2/4 grinder in the cupboard for emergencies -- its the little cousin of the Braun KMM30 and it works fine, you hold down a button and it gives your hand a buzz before any coffee is consumed. Then you turn it upside-down...

Pros: Provides a consistent grind using a precision milling system.

Cons: I wish it had a start button for starting the motor.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this grinder for its simplicity of operation and because it has been on the market for several years. It provides a wide range of fineness settings.

Review: I wanted a coffee bean grinder to use with my new coffee maker, and since the Braun KMM 30 was avail ...
