Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, PARENT Reviews
Quick n’ Easy!
I bought this unit mainly for grinding dry spices. I used to grind them with a mortar and pestle which usually takes about 10-15 minutes with pain and agony, and that didn’t even do the job. With this grinder, I load the spices in…boom, boom and boom – literally 3 pushes, I got beautiful spices ground to fine powder in about 7 SECONDS! The amazing thing about this grinder is that it doesn’t use sharp blades, it’s more like a propeller and I like it because it’s safe contact with my fingers when being cleaned.
This is an incredible grinder at an unbeatable low price, I might as well buy another one to grind coffee beans (perhaps in black), I bought this model in white.
Pros:
*Light/Compact and does what it suppose to do
*Acceptable noise level (not as loud as expected)
*Stylish Design
*Best Value/Price
*Safe and sound, no sharp blades to deal with when cleaning.
Cons:
*Fine powder particles tend to stick to and under the propeller area which makes it a bit hard to clean (for this, I will buy a small brush to do the job).
*Grind button from cap which connects to body device seems a bit flimsy, not sure how long this will hold up.
*Power Cord is a bit short (aprrx. 2 feet)
Great product!
What more could you ask for? The price is right and it’s durable as hell.
Krups Coffee Grinder _ Great for home use
I really love this grinder. It is the first I owned, but I have used a friends and the commercial one when I worked at a national coffee chain. It grinds evenly and has good power, but it doesn’t get as fine as if it is done with the commercial machine. I rinse the lid after each use and wipe out the machine with a cloth so I can also use it to grind spices and nuts. I gave it a 4 because I wish I could remove the blade for better cleaning. I worry after years of mostly coffee grinding use, my spices and nuts will begin having a slight coffee taste.
Not bad, but not as good as my last Krups
I’ve been using Krups coffee grinders for years. My last one was made in Germany, and worked flawlessly until a relative used it to grid 5 lbs of nuts without cleaning it.
This new one has an oval shape, which sucks as the coffee now gets stuck in the two pointy ends. The motor (or gears) makes a very unpleasing sound which initially had me thinking this was either a DOA or soon to fail. Had it for three months not, it still works, still sound awful. The edge of the clear cover collects coffee dust on it, and is a pain to clean.
It does the job, so four stars. But I would not buy this one again, and will be wary of Krups wares.
Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder
This is the second Krups coffee grinder
that I’ve owned.
The first Krups was used every day
for about fifteen years.
The only minus I can think of is that there is a cavity
below the metal receptacle that, through
the crack between it and the plastic housing,
becomes over time, filled with old, stale
coffee residue. I noticed this when I took
the old one apart.
Other than that, it’s great. The new one grinds
much faster than the old one.
