KRUPS 8000035978 GX5000 Professional Electric Coffee Burr Grinder with Grind Size and Cup Selection, 7-Ounce, Black

I've ground about 20lbs of beans so far and find this unit pleasantly surprising. I started by setting it to a more fine position expecting it to beat up the beans more than the consistent grind you get out of commercially sourced coffee grounds. Much to my surprise this unit provided excellent consistency in the grind but also was much finer than I needed for my Mr. Coffee machine. I backed it off several numbers and found consistent bean grind with an excellent yield in the coffee and right at the edge of leaving any thing in the pot after brewing. I using the smaller units and grinding by how it looks I usually got a small residue in the bottom of the pot but an excellent yield with good tasting coffee. With this Krups unit I get the coffee yield but without the residue in the pot. On the down side there is a small amount of grind that spills out when you remove the container, the lid tends to have a build up inside the edge, and some fine particles do stick to the insides of the container. I found a small soft brush a little bigger than the one they send solves most of this. This thing is noisy which is to be expected but it is doing a job for you so its not an issue. I usually grind a couple pounds of beans which go in several sealed containers lasting a week or more each with a different flavor/roast to which this unit seems to work perfectly for.

My Krupps was clearly identified as a burr grinder in the posting and on the box, it cost $41 at the time of purchase. This was a good deal for what has proven to be a solid performer. It's not too noisy, less noisy than the old spice grinder I used to use. The grind is easily adjustable and 7.5 has proven to be perfect for my pour-over cone filter. I've been using it for a month and it seems as solid as when I opened the box (will update if that changes). It's plastic, I wouldn't recommend banging it around or you might get cracks. Cleaning is fairly easy. Static is not a problem if you remember that moisture kills static, just wipe the output bin on the OUTSIDE with a damp hand before grinding and no static at all. No smells or signs of overheating. The size isn't bad for counter space.

After searching and reading review after review on the best grinder I went ahead and made the decision to order the Krups GX5000 (thought I'd add the exact name so my review is not skewed and interpreted for another product). Okay, so here's my feedback after having it for one week....Considering the only other coffee grinder I've had was attached to the coffee maker I had at the time, I really don't have a lot of models to compare the functionality of this item to. What I will say is that it grinds okay for regular coffee setting. I've read in other reviews that it's noisy...it is loud but not unbearable. I also find that when the coffee is grinding, I have to hold the top down which is annoying. The other thing is there is no way to take the coffee hopper out to give it a good cleaning. You can only wipe it clean therefore I cannot see it using it to grind anything else but coffee. Ideally I would've like to have an item that is multi-functional...grind coffee beans, nuts, etc. If that is what you're looking for, this is not the product for you. It's either you grind seasonings, or nuts, or coffee - not all of the above. I also agree with one of the other reviews I read in which it states that the coffee grinds is not consistent. I am not changing the grind selection during and it seems that there is variances in the ground coffee. For example, if I'm using the finest setting, all of the ground coffee should be the same, however, I'm noticing the grounds are not the same size - inconsistent extraction of coffee beans. So all in all, considering I did not want to invest in the higher end items, this serves the purpose of which I bought it and that's to simply grind coffee. I like the size of it as it fits nicely in the kitchen and does not take up much space. As a follow up to my initial review, I've now owned this item for about a month and I've increased my rating to 4 stars. I absolutely love it...I keep the grind setting on 9 and its perfect for my Dunkin Donuts regular coffee beans or my Starbucks Sumatra whole beans. I look forward to every cup of coffee. Like I said above the only downside is that I cannot fully remove the bean hopper so I can thoroughly clean it as there is always a small coffee bean/residue left behind which prohibits grinding something else like nuts and seeds. Very happy......

Muele bien, funciona bien, fácil de usar, buen precio

Muy buen molino , muy practico , buena calidad de molido, practico el mecanismo para almacenarlo

The grinder itself is a good bet for anyone planning to do drip coffee or french press. I planned to do espresso and so I needed a very fine grind. I took a chance it it was not fine enough for my need. I would have gone with a CONICAL burr grinder if I knew before. For anyone who does not plan on making espresso anytime soon, this is a great choice! It is robust, easy to clean, and the brush is even included in the desing of the machine itself (in the central shaft where the coffee is). I was a bit scared about the comment saying the coffee is not airtight, but i doubt it is that bad. It seems like the lid locks well, and as you are to grind the coffee right before use, the precious oils wont be affected too much considering you will refill often the reservoir. This grinder would've been a good and durable bet for anyone who wants a good coffee. Also, i have to mention the SPEED it grinds the coffee is impressive. I think the motor in this machine is angry and wants to ravage any grain that crosses it's path within a few seconds. Aka, the motor seems durable and does the job.. very fast!

En general la calidad y funcionamiento es adecuado para su precio, pero tiene detalles que hacen evidente que no es el de mejor calidad. Para empezar el molido no es completamente uniforme, sin importar el valor en el que se ponga, se produce un polvo muy fino que se termina acumulando en la tapa del recipiente de salida. Se suelta café en polvo al sacar el recipiente y ensucia a su alrededor. El ajuste de tazas por moler no es muy preciso, el 2, por ejemplo, debería producir cafe para dos tazas, sin embargo produce 6.5 cucharadas de 15 ml (la más grande de las cucharas graduadas de cocina) y no es del todo regular ya que funciona por tiempo. Creo que debería tener un ajuste para producir aun menos café molido, si la idea es molerlo lo más cerca posible a prepararlo para que este más fresco, este molino hace difícil no tener sobrante que almacenar. La solución es poner solo un poco de grano y detener el molino manualmente cuando se termine, pero es menos conveniente que el ajuste de tazas y hace inútil que tenga esta característica. Lo positivo es que tiene un buen precio por lo que ofrece, es una buena introducción para quien quiera comenzar a moler su café y es mejor que los molinos de aspas, pero definitivamente existen mejores productos en el mercado, aunque claro, a un precio más alto.

Practico sencillo de uso y de muy buena calidad,molido ideal para uso casero u oficina, Facil manejo y limpieza, seguro.
