Dissapointing burr grinder June 11, 2004
I bought this grinder after reading about the superior performance of burr grinders, compared to the usual whirly blade style. The design looked promising, and the price was right so I bought it. Unfortuately, with burr grinders, as with almost everything, you get what you pay for. This grinder is of very poor quality. In the few months that I have owned it (and it's successive replacement after the first one broke), the plastic upper hopper has broken twice, during normal use. The grinding mechanism jams all the time, and produces an inconsistant grind, varying from big chunks to dust. Additionally, it is impossible to get this machine to grind fine enough for use with an expresso machine. Save your money for a better grinder, this one is a paperweight.

B&D has a sence of humor March 7, 2004

In these troubled times it's good to see a big company like Black & Decker has a sence of humor. I can't see how these guys put the Smart Grind Delux on the market with a straight face, but they seemed to do it. (Those wacky comsumer electronic guys). By my observation,the YUGO and this "coffee mill" must have been designed by the same guy. I do have to admit the coffee tastes better, but the 10 minute clean up of grinds and "dust" after each unfortunate milling event, especially in the "caffine jones" morning just seem to grind me. Good concept - TERRIBLE execution.

No Way! February 24, 2004

This grinder was horrible - the one reviewer who liked it must have a maid because the mess this thing makes is incredible! There were coffee grinds everywhere! Luckily, it burnt out after a few weeks so I had a good excuse to take it back and get my money back. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this grinder!

Just like Starbucks aroma and body February 12, 2004
1 out of 3 found this review helpful

This thing is GREAT! After having ground my own coffee for many years using a blade grinder I thought it was time to try grinding with a mill. Boy what a fantastic and pleasurable decision. Coffee prepped with this Mill will blow you away (I think the negative reviews must have come from Starbucks Managers).

Robust body, aroma, and flavor rivals most high end coffee shops. Easy to use, you have control of the size of granule, and a timer to keep the power on long enough to finish the job. Start with Medium grind, and click toward fine one click at a time to find your favorite taste. Please follow directions, and TAKE YOUR TIME you'll be a happy camper. Easy to operate and clean (get a small brush), A great coffee mill at a cool Target price. Five stars with all thumbs up!

Do not buy this coffee grinder! February 10, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This grinder exhibited the following problems:
1) The receiving bowl is much bigger than it needs to be. If I am going to grind THAT much coffee I might as well buy it already ground. The excessive size means messier transfer of grounds. (Static is also a problem, but not a unique one to this grinder.)
2) If the beans are at all clumped together like on many kinds of roasts, they can't get into the grind area and bounce around on top. You have to break up any stuck-together beans manually.

3) It quit working after only one month of use and there is no quality guarantee that the product will function for at least, say, 90 days.
Who needs this kind of frustration?
