Mr. Coffee Grinder – Black Reviews
Good for grinding spices, but hard to clean!
I asked for a spice grinder for Christmas, and recieved this. I was a little wary of it at first, but it has worked well grinding spices and dried herbs so far (I have never used it to grind coffee). I have only used it several times, so I don’t know how durable it is. I was concerned that the plastic would absorb the odors of the spices, but I store it without the clear lid to air it out, and that seems to work. My only complaint with it is that it is a pain to clean! The lid is easily washed by hand, but the grinder cannot be immersed in water, so it’s a bit difficult. I have ended up using my fingers to wipe most of the spice residue out, and then I use a damp paper towel to get the rest. Thankfully there aren’t TOO many crevices. So if it were easier to clean, or if you could at least remove the blade to clean it, then I would give it five stars.
The only way to enjoy home brewed coffee!
It has been about six months since I started grinding my own coffee beans with this Mr. Coffee grinder. I usually use it three times a week. And my Mr. Coffee grinder is still going strong.
Of course, I read all of the instructions before attempting to use. (Like everyone one does right?) The instructions state in big bold letters to use only for grinding coffee beans. This grinder should not be used as a nut grinder or any other food items. There could be some cross contamination of flavors. “Good idea!” I said. But. What if I wanted some nut flavor with my coffee? Hint: If you did grind another food source, put in some bread pieces and grind. The food particles should be picked up with the bread. It is now back to its original state.
The grinders size is perfect for up to a 12-cup coffee maker. I always fill my 12-cup coffee pot, so I wanted to know how much whole beans to use. So once again I found this from the instructions. Six tablespoons. This is the maximum holding capacity for this grinder. Perfect.
Consistency ground size comes next. Yes after nine seconds the size should be perfect for my automatic drip coffee maker. And it was. Any longer than that the grounds would become powder, which is good for espresso and coffee in your cup. Some people like that so that would work for them.
A safety switch will automatically shut off when not in use. That is a nice feature for the safety conscience. When done grinding your beans, turn the unit over, tap a couple times, and “Walla” a pouring device. Pour right into your coffee filter. Turn on coffee machine and now you have time to clean out the grinder.
The grinder needs to be cleaned after each use to keep it in tiptop shape. And have a longer shelf life. One drawback is that some powder sticks to the bottom of the grinder. I just get a paper towel and wipe it out. Presto, cleaned until next time.
Grinding coffee beans at home gives the freshest coffee I can get at home!
Found it to be AWESOME!
I have had my Mr. Coffee grinder for 2 years now. I use it 3 days a week and NEVER has there been a problem. Great product and can grind it down very fine.
Avoid This Coffee Grinder
This is not a well made grinder. From the first time I used it, I knew this was not a Krups or a Braun. Mine lasted 4 months (the motor burned out) and I make coffee only on the weekends.
Not durable? These things are fragile!
I went through my first one in four months. The second one burnt out a motor the very first time I used it. With much better models going for just a couple of dollars more, there’s no reason to miss a single morning’s cup of coffee because of this product. To it’s credit, it worked well during its short life.
