KRUPS3oz Coffee Grinder, Ultimate Silent Vortex Plastic and Stainless Steel Grinder with Removable Bowl Mess-Free, 8 Times Quieter, 2 Speeds 240 Watts,Dry Herbs,Dishwasher Safe,12 cups ground Silver

I've been using the KRUPS Precision Electric Coffee Grinder for about three months now, and it's become an essential part of my kitchen! While I primarily bought it for fresh coffee beans, I've discovered it works amazingly well for grinding tea leaves and various herbs for cooking too.The power this compact machine packs is impressive - it reduces whole coffee beans to the perfect consistency in seconds, whether I want a fine espresso grind or something coarser for my French press. The precision settings actually deliver noticeable differences in grind size, which has helped me fine-tune my brewing process.What I particularly love is how compact it is - it takes up minimal counter space in my small kitchen but performs like a much larger appliance. The sleek design looks great sitting out, and cleaning is surprisingly simple with the removable components.For anyone looking for versatility beyond just coffee, this grinder handles dried herbs for cooking beautifully. I've used it for everything from grinding spices to creating my own tea blends. The sealed operation keeps all the aromatic oils contained until you're ready to use them.This KRUPS grinder has definitely elevated my coffee experience while proving itself useful for multiple kitchen tasks!

This is the absolute best grinder I’ve ever used. I didn’t want to write a long drawn-out review, but it’s so useful I felt compelled to write something.I always do a lot of research before buying anything. I’m definitely THAT guy. This made it on a short list of grinders after an absurd amount of time (literally hours) of researching and watching videos. It’s probably a sickness doing that thorough of research for a sub-$50 purchase, but I digress. After that research I pulled the trigger and bought this one, and couldn’t be happier I did. That was a little while ago, probably a year and a half, and I’ve bought multiple ones for my friends since.This grinder has an extremely consistent grind and achieves that grind in literally seconds (not hyperbole whatsoever).It has a reasonable capacity too. It’s not Marianna’s-Trench level of capacity like some, but it doesn’t feel like I’m grinding coffee for ants either like some others. It’s perfect for making a batch of brew.It has held up very well under pretty hard and consistent use, with both my toddler son and me battering it to get coffee unpacked after a fine-grind.It’s even easy to clean. I use a dry napkin, get the majority of the leftover, then just run the metal part under the sink on low. It fills up, I pour it out, wipe it down and botta boom botta bing, it’s like new.Super simple, effective and straightforward kitchen tool.Definitely get it. Use my research-sickness to your advantage and just get it.

My coffee maker has a built in grinder, so for coffee beans, I had no need for a grinder. But when my cat started having problems eating her kibble, this product was perfect. It was clear that the cat had a dental problem and chewing became painful. The vet recommended smashing her kibble, but that was really inconvenient. I then tried grinding it my coffee maker's grinder, and that worked great, but I don't relish subtle tones of kitty kibble in my morning coffee, so I bought this. It worked perfectly. I would then mix the grind with a couple of tablespoons of water or the liquid from canned tuna, chicken, salmon, etc, and the cat loved it.I have also used this grinder on the fresh rosemary and basil leaves. It works great, and is reasonably quiet and very easy clean. This was a great purchase.

For the price of this machine compared to other options, I would generally expect it to be flawless. And that is almost the case. However, I found that when grinding spices for a pizza sauce, the resulting powder retained a minimal few seed chunks.This was after running the machine on both high and low for an excessive amount of time to try and get everything. My guess is that the blades are a little too high off the bowl, and their vortex technology doesn’t work quite as advertised.That is just for spices. As of the time of writing, I have not tried it with coffee beans, which I expect would grind more consistently.That said, I’m still going to stick with this model for the long run. I bought it with points, so I’m not as worried about the excessive cost. The main reason I chose this one is that it had a removable canister that could be washed in the dishwasher, and I am very happy with that aspect.Prior to this model, I tried a cheaper version from another brand that was a disaster. Before even using it, I tried washing the canister in the dishwasher and water got stuck between the plastic and metal and wouldn’t drain. No issue with that here, as the canister is all metal and well designed.The other big feature contributing to the price is the quieter grind compared to other models. Though not a priority for me, I’ll attest to to it being much quieter that prior models I have used.The option for two speeds is also a nice touch, though I’m not really sure how important that is in the long run. The last thing I’ll mention is that is is pretty sleek looking. I got the version that is silver and black, and it does not look cheap at all. It is a quality looking appliance.Though I’m mildly disappointed in the grind quality for spices, it still does the job overall and has some sleek features. I’d say it’s a nice splurge buy, though if you don’t care about a removable container or the quieter running noise then getting their cheaper model would probably make sense. That model was highly rated by a cooking magazine I read.
