Fortunately, the button isn't actually attached to the grind switch, so you can stick your little finger through the hole in the case and punch the switch to turn it on. Coffee beans frequently jam in the feed bin and cause the grinder to "free-wheel." The remedy is to hold the grinder in your hands while it's operating and shake it when the beans jam. Needless to say, when this grinder finally dies, we won't be buying another that's made by Krups. And all of this within 3 months of purchase. Also, bean fragments can get in the seating track for the lid and prevent the safety mechanism from engaging, leaving you wondering why your grinder isn't operating. Finally, the grind button on ours decided to fall inside the case.
Not too hard to clean. So far I have powdered all my beans. I'd like to hear suggestions from others. I just want a regular auto drip cup of coffee. Back to the book to see what I am doing wrong. I like the auto shut off.
Not possible to control fineness/coarseness of output4. Good looking, small footprint, low price, but1. Cheap all plastic construction.I would strongly recommend looking for an alternative. Make a horrible mess of your counter top everytime.5. Jams constantly.2. Overheats and shuts off.3.
BUT, the best part is that you can pour in the beans and set the grinder to the number of cups you are making, turn the grinder on, and walk away. I love my new little grinder. Please allow me to preface this review by saying I do not make lattes, cappicinos, or expressos at home. When I want the fancy stuff, I go to the local coffee shop. Its still noisy of course, but not too bad. My old one made a mess and I constantly had to shake it all around for it to work. It allows you to select the fineness of the grounds, which is nice.
And, its not as loud as the old one. That's right, no mess.
Its the second grinder I've purchased, but this one is by far much better. Then, when I lift the little container with the grounds out to pour them in the coffee maker filter, there is no mess.
I only make regular coffee from coffee beans. It automatically shuts off when the right number of cups has been ground.
It serves our purposes of regular drip coffee very well. This is a great little grinder.
It was a nightmare and made morning coffee not at all worth it.This grinder is great.
