I needed a fine grind for my espresso beans

It does a nice grind and you can control how fine it is based on how long you push the button

This product allows me to make a course grind or a finer grind

Needless to say, the grinder hit the ground and cracked/broke the grinding head.

It is simple to use and after practice you can get the perfect grind for yours taste.

So even though this thing grinds well, the other features / issues take away from its overall usage.

The grind however was uneven and a lit worse than the hand ground coffee

Suffice it to say I will not be replacing it with another Hamilton Beach Fresh Grind 4.5oz Electric Coffee Grinder, and I will not be seeking out any other Hamilton Beach products in the future.

when cleaning water and some fine grinds got inside the two-piece grinder cup.

Fresh ground coffee at home

It really is not as noisy as the one we used to have and fresh ground really makes a difference even with our Kuerig

Also, the noise is very quiet, yet the grinding is very efficient.

It works amazing for a quick and easy fine grind of herbs, spices etc

Easy to clean, the noise level is very low, I was assuming this loud grinding noise but not at all

I have also found that the grind is very consistent

Husband loved it better taste of fresh grind coffee.

It's smaller but has several improvements: the cup that holds the ground material is removable for cleaning, the top is designed to be easy to insert in the correct position, the material being ground is well ground including the seeds of peppers, it's relatively quiet

If you're a coffee connoisseur and need specific bar pressures and precise grinds look else where.

Nice to have fresh ground beans

I have nothing to complain about, and that's why I am here to pick up another one (because Walmart switched products, I tried that one and am not as happy as I am with this one), so here's hoping for another 4 years of happy coffee grinding.

Daily fresh ground coffee

But the flavor is so much better from fresh ground coffee vs preground coffee.

The grind is inconsistent even after you shake it while pulse

If you add too many beans, it’s a coarse grind

-it grinds quieter and is very nice-PSI like to dump my grinds into the lid rather than open the lid and have the grounds spill out (max fill

It’s easy to clean and does a great job grinding

Still love the quiet and efficient grind.

Works very well as I can run it for a few seconds and get a course grind or longer to get a fine powder grind.

BUT - it doesn’t grind many coffee beans; for our household I have to fill it two to three times to get enough ground coffee for 12 cups.

It does a good job grinding although you have to kind of do it by I to see how fine you want it

but this has zero issue bringing it to a fine ground powder if I want, and does it very quickly.

I can give it the highest rating for those who are disabled like me and want fresh ground coffee each morning, without waiting for someone else to do it!

it is efficient quiet and beats all expectations and for the strength of coffee we enjoy were able to do a 12 cup pot in a single grind extremely happy with this grinder

No granularity control, just run it until the grind is fine enough to suit you

and you have a very nice grind of coffee.

But does a good grinding job.

Doesn't fit very much at a time so I have to do it often but that ensures a fresh grind

Some complained that the the ground is not fine enough

Last week the motor started slowing down while grinding.

so I ground beans every couple days, less top heavy design, sturdier parts, adjustable grind, and more comfortable feel

Works fine, uneven ground though.

I full grind gives me enough to fill a little resealable container and thata enough for about 2 cups a day for maybe 4 days.

I dislike pepper unless it's ground to a fine powder

I'm not grinding beans, so it might be noisier with them, but seems much quieter than other blade grinders I've had

Extremely convenient for us as the coffee taste so much better with fresh ground whole beans

When using this grinder, I recommend grinding coffee beans separately from other items

Consistent and uniform grinds every time.

The top grinding cup is a little bit small

If you pulse it maybe 5-10 times before grinding fully I always got a good consistent grind even down to an espresso fine grind

Works fine, uneven ground though.

We absolutely love this product, nothing makes coffee like fresh ground beans, highly suggest!

Dump the grinds into your coffee maker and no spills

The only issue I have is that it didn't come with a brush to clean out the grinds

Super fast and easy to use— makes it really easy to have fresh ground coffee in the morning, without really adding time from pre-ground coffee

But the detachable grinding chamber couldn’t be detached

We tried to be careful about the amount of beans used and the time spent grinding, but we still achieved irregular grinds too often

Love having fresh ground coffee!

I typically press the grind button in short bursts, then give a little shake in between bursts, until the ground gets nice and fine
