Really fine and attractive personal coffee grinder. Elegant a way.
Works fine once you figure it out. High quality burr grinder. Fast and not too noisy. Wide range of grinds – easily adjusted. Just remember – are grinding a small amount of coffee give it time to “relax” after grinding. The process of grinding charges the coffee particles with just a touch of static electricity which can make measuring them immediately just a bit amusing. Give them a minute or so and they settle down nicely.

Great grinder
This is my first electric burr grinder, but I love it. It has a really small footprint and takes up very little counter space. It twists together nicely so it’s easy to take apart and clean. It holds the right amount for your morning coffee or espresso shots and the easy one-press application is nice and simple.The grind size seems super consistent, and should remain that way as long you clean it out regularly so grounds don’t get clogged. There is a good amount of static cling but it comes with a tiny mist spray bottle, which may help reduce static. It doesnt bother me enough to have tried it yet. Overall a really great purchase with a great price point, and I wish I had gotten it sooner.

Fast, Powerful, and Rugged – A Quick and Perfect Grind Every Time!
Easy to handle, mechanically simple, and rugged: A big 0.58A/70W motor, and a burr assembly that’s solid and hefty; I can’t imagine anything could ever break it. The lower half of it quick-disconnects and drops out of the hopper with a simple twist, for fast and easy maintenance and cleaning with a compressed air gun (hand-held electric recommended).If you like a fine espresso powder grind, you have five grind levels to choose from. I chose #3; #1 and #2 are finer (not by much), but they grind so slow, the motor times out in 40 seconds, to prevent overheating/burnout. For a coarser grind, you’ll find something between #6 – #15. Either way, it’s a perfect grind with no chips or slivers.I removed the finger guard; it’s probably there for legal reasons, but it slows down the beans feeding down into the burr assembly. I can’t imagine anyone being dumb enough to put a finger in it – it would chop your fingertip off in a hearbeat if it was running! Just pour in the beans, and put the rubber lid on to contain them.The pouring spout on the grounds bin is handy, but it’s too wide to fill a Keurig reusable pod basket without spilling the grounds. It’s easier to leave the bin attached to the grinder base, and use a baby spoon to scoop out the grounds, with the spout removed and out of the way.Finally, storage is easy. It’s rather tall, but it has a small footprint.

Fast, sturdy and grinds evenly
An excellent burr grinder, fast and easy to handle. It works best for about two servings (40 grams) at a time.It is light but sturdy, and the ground coffee pours easily into a drip filter. At first, the top part is a bit stiff tounscrew so as to open the grounds compartment, but it becomes easier after a little practice. I like it!

Does an excellent job.
It does a great job of producing consistent grounds. It is compact and easy to store. There are a few more steps that need to be taken to get coffee beans to grounds. A lot of cleanup needs to be done with every use but overall I am very happy with it.

Great machine.
Used it accordingly and it works great. I do not know why people say it is messy. If you use it as described there are not issues at all. We love this machine and we travel a lot and want to use our non toxic and mold fee beans. So, this item is perfect. We highly recommend it. Thank you for making it.

Big diference over $20 grinder.
Wow! What took be so long to get a Burr grinder?! Coffee tastes soooo much better, cleaner, less muddy. I’ve used a $20 grinder for years. Was skeptical a burr grinder would make much difference. Boy, was I wrong! Will never go back to the other grinder. If you’re a java junkie, coffee afficionado, or coffee snob, and grind your own beans… this is the way to go! And this nice compact grinder won’t break the bank or take over your kitchen counter.

Easy to use and good quality
So far we love this coffee grinder. It’s compact but powerful. Not very noisy either which is nice. The quality of the grind is so good when using with an espresso machine. Love it definitely recommend. We had purchased from another brand and should have went with OXO brand from the beginning- very reliable brand.

Great little grinder
I have an espresso machine with a built in grinder that simply won’t grind course enough for pour overs. This grinder does an excellent job grinding coffee beans for not only pour overs but french press as well. The hopper holds 50 grams which is perfect for a single dose for either application. It also doesn’t throw a bunch of fines to muddy up the coffee bed on the pour overs. The grinder comes with a handy little sprayer for RDT. It is very simple to use and comes apart easily for cleaning. So far I’m quite pleased.
