Premium Bellemain Burr Coffee Grinder with 17 Settings for Drip, Percolator, French Press and Turkish Coffee Makers.

This is THE best thing in good and affordable grinding next to manual precision grinding.Yes you need to fiddle a bit to get the fine grind you want (see a copy from another post that convinced me to by this grocer at the end of this review (credits to Rad Kal Stam)).Yes it has static powder and needs good cleaning, but that's the case for any, if not all, (affordable) electric grinders.But it delivers a great grind, fast, almost no noice and with an easy of us thanks to the set and forget setting. You start the grind and can go on with your other business.Copy on how to improve the grind settings to get a finer grind (compared to the out-of-the-box settings):Grind setting was not good from the factory. The finest setting was giving very coarse pieces. I opened it up to see if it can be adjusted. It only takes 4 screws to modify outside the initial grind range. Unplug it, take out the grinding wheel, and then remove three small screws in the bean hopper. When the hopper is off, it is only one more screw to remove the grind setting dial. Since I wanted finer grounds, I started with the dial on #1, took the dial off, and moved it to display a #7. Put everything back together, moved it to a #1, and the grounds are great now! Perfect pucks out of my Aeropress. It might work for people who need coarser grounds as well, just start with a #14 before taking it apart.

I am a coffee lover and am also very picky about my experiences with it. My previous grinder was a Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill which I used for about 5 years. It contracted a problem due to its design limitations so I bought the Bellemain grinder instead. Glad I did.The Bellemain is quieter than the Cuisinart and hasn't broken. It is easy to operate, grinds quickly and somewhat neatly (they all create some kind of mess on my kitchen counter). I use the espresso setting for regular dark coffee and a number 4-size coffee filter cone. I get a perfect cup every time!One thing to watch out for is the interlock switch on the top cover (you must get a tight fit or the grinder won't run). Like all grinders of this type, you must keep the exit hole clean or it will plug up and the grinder will stop. Get a cleaning brush to address this issue.I bought this grinder from an Amazon re-seller named Perella's (no longer around) for $33.95 in July 2017 and today (September 2017) the price is over $100 with shipping. I am guessing that Perella's was getting rid of excess inventory. Not sure I would pay $100 for this item today as other models are going for less than $50. But It's a very good product.

Pros: Much quieter, easier to use and MUCH more consistent grind than my B&D steel bladed grinder. One button push and automatic grind verses B&D hold down until finish grinding. Ability to adjust grinding level by following another reviewers directions (although it is fine for me as is). VERY CLEAN operation.Cons: B&D easier to clean as I just put the cap and blade assembly in the dishwasher. Can't put the burr grinder part in the dishwasher.I did not have the problem cited by other reviewers with the messy coffee dust, I suspect they left the cover off or did not make sure the tray receptical was inserted properly or just overfilled the hopper. VERY CLEAN operation. AS ALWAYS: Read the instructions and reviews.

I use a French Press to make my morning coffee. My inexpensive single blade grinder (actually "flayer" would be more accurate) after 30 years, gave up the ghost and the dreaded day of having to find a new one had arrived. Over the years, I often had filter clogging issues because unknown to me until I started the process of finding a new grinder, the process of flaying the coffee beans produces inconsistently-sized particles with many very small particles that clog the metal filter in my French Presses and even smaller particles ending up in the coffee. Once I switched to a burr coffee grinder, problem solved. The Bellemain Burr Coffee Grinder, unlike most Burr grinders, is inexpensive. It is also easy to operate, convenient, easy to clean, and does a wonderful job grinding for the French Press. I cannot speak for other types of coffee makers, but for a French Press, there is no point spending 6 or 7 times as much - this product does a first-rate job and offers real value.
