Beautiful Beginners Burr still running strong August 2, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have now had my SmartGrind for over two years. I use high quality dark roasted beans for my coffee. I do have to go through a couple of contortions to keep the mess down. But the little effort I put forth for an enjoyable first cup, EVERY morning, is worth it. Occasionally the grinder will bog for a moment when the beans are particularly oily, other then that I love it. I do let the motor run for a second or two after the beans are crushed to clear the grinder.

Grinder doesn't live up July 24, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This grinder doesn't live up to what it says. First thing first, we have only had it two months and the hopper has now cracked in three places. we grind an average of 1/2 hopper a day which is not that much for it to be cracked already. Second, the grinds go into the other holder container but does not do this without mess. Frequently there is grinds between the grinder hopper and the container which is a pain to clean up. Third, it jams a lot causing you to stop it remove the lid, use their special tool and start over.

Not so smart March 6, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I chose a burr grinder to replace a blade grinder to get a more uniform grind and especially to avoid the mess of having to scoop out the grounds. But this disaster of a product cannot grind coarse enough for a French Press, and in general, doesn't grind uniformly at all. And the mess! Instead of grind-and-scoop, now I have to grind, scoop, clean the counter, clean the base, clean the sides, clean the canister, clean the sink from dumping out the grounds in the base... Most inexcusably, the grounds build up in the chute so the machine clogs regularly. I only realized this when the motor started smoking! But now, to use it, I have to spend five minutes with a toothpick getting the insides clean. The folks who made the product obviously never bothered using it themselves on actual coffee beans. Or else they're just shameless. I should have returned it the first time I used it.

simply awful December 18, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

It's hard to add to the reviews already there, but I want to do my part to drive down the average :). This thing is awful. Static electricity causes the grounds to spray all over the kitchen. It clogs. And it hardly works for espresso. Stay away!

served me well, but... October 21, 2004
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

This grinder has served well, but...the timer quit working soon after purchase, but hitting the button again to restart didn't trouble me as much as cleaning it and taking it back would have. I've used it for more than six months on a regular basis, nearly always at the finest setting, for dark, 'oily' French Roast [Starbucks] beans. I solved the static/mess problem quickly by discovering an empty glass jar ["McCormick" 8 fl. oz. Original-Premium Cocktail Sauce] fit perfectly in the grounds-recepticle and 'neatly' caught the flying coffee. Of course there was some that went into the plastic part, but 99% was in my snap-lid glass jar and not flying all over me or the kitchen! I then just popped the same jar in the fridge to store about 2 days of espresso-ground coffee. I've moved up [way up, to me] to a burr-type grinder and can get my espresso grind much, much finer of course, but for a new coffee nut, this is a great one to start with. Happy Brewing...
