    OXO Brew Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

    • well designed so it should be easy.
    • It produces virtually no mess because of the design and anti-static stainless cup.
    • The design is superb
    • Well designed controls for grind size and time to grind with consistent results
    • Great design except for that.
    • It does not make a mess, is easy to clean by removing the burr, and the static discharge design makes it perfect
    • The burr also has another twist-out design so you can get a brush thru it.
    • So the design grinds all the beans that enter
    • However, the good design and functionality is not the whole story
    • Since there is no way to clean the spout, I spent $100 for a year to use this poorly designed item.
    • Like all Oxo products, this burr grinder is well-designed and sturdy
    • Like the design and overall quiet of the grinder
    • Poor design, poor product and failed customer service
    • There may be a reason for the cleaning problem but it just feels like bad design
    • In addition to having a really handsome design, it has an overall high-quality feel about it
    • Another nice design feature is that the sides seem steeper which helps if you like a dark roast coffee
    • It astounds me that a company known for thoughtful, user-centric design could have designed something so poorly that it could so easily essentially kill itself with simple everyday use
    • That being said, this design is just amazing.
    • Low static design really helped reduce the amount of grounds that end up on our counter.
    • Love the flexibility and design
    • the functional design could be improved (wider shute to prevent clogs, non-metallic, and larger cup)
    • It's very well designed in that
    • Nice design aesthetic
    • They are quiet, nicely designed, easy to clean/take apart, and precise.
    • Based on this level of grinder, I would have expected a better designed catch bin.
    • Excellent, convenient, well designed product
    • That’s because their famed emphasis on great design has borne out for me, generally speaking, in receiving, good, reliable products
    • A well designed and excellent product
    • It works, but not the most robust design.
    • I was going to return that when I saw the Oxo on sale and read that the design might be better
    • Well designed controls for grind size and time to grind with consistent results
    • Just a really stupid design flaw other than that I would buy this machine again it can't be hard to make it 2 oz bigger!
    • It produces virtually no mess because of the design and anti-static stainless cup.
    • A bonus to me was that its stainless steel design (and perhaps its grounded 3-prong electrical plug) means almost all of the grind actually leaves the basket -- I can pour it into a French press pretty easily.
    • We owned a different more expensive brand that was not even close to being as well designed
    • great build and design, like all the Oxo products. great company.
    • Very poor design
    • Well designed, easy to disassemble for cleaning.
    • The design of this container 'lock' mechanism is awful on an otherwise well designed and excellent product.
    • Better design than others we have had
    • I chose this grinder because several sites reviewed it as a good value for a conical burr (supposedly better than flat burr) and I liked the design, that it had a timer, and the ability to remove the hopper and swap out the beans
    • It is well designed and appears to be well made
    • Not a well designed machine
    • Excellent design!
    • Although the design may limit the unit's lifespan, since you can't replace the bottom burr and have to run it empty or on rice more often
    • Just a really stupid design flaw other than that I would buy this machine again it can't be hard to make it 2 oz bigger!
    • Appears to have a solid well designed mechanism
    • The static problem is mostly gone with the stainless steel cup design
    • The design of this container 'lock' mechanism is awful on an otherwise well designed and excellent product.
    • Its design also lets me grind coffee without spilling a single flake of ground coffee on the counter.... this makes me unreasonably happy
    • Great grinder for my family’s
    • And an added bonus is that I grind exactly as much coffee as I
    • Let's say I measure out and grind 15g of beans
