KRUPSPrecision Burr Coffee Grinder: 12 Settings, 8 oz Capacity for Drip, French Press, Espresso, Pour Over, Cold Brew - Stainless Steel, 110W, Auto-Stop, Easy Clean

I bought this burr grinder in 2021 and used it constantly. It failed this week and I immediately bought another of the same model.If I were more handy I'm sure I could have repaired the original but I'm not and I like have the duplicate parts for an item that has done so well for a relatively long time.Should mention that I paid $10 less in 2025 than in 2021.

This is a Great grinder. I have it set just the way I like my grind, for just the right amount I use in my coffee maker. Just push the button and by the time I have the water poured into my Bunn, it is done grinding. I had another grinder that was a pain in the @zz to deal with first thing in the morning. Solved

So I got this KRUPS Precision Burr Coffee Grinder thing for my apartment. it's pretty standard stuff - you pick your grind setting and then the number of cups you want to make (which is kinda cool because who wants to measure out coffee beans?). The motor seems powerful enough though i did have one time when it struggled a bit with some really oily beans, but that was only once. I guess this thing works well enough for its purpose - grinding coffee beans into different sizes depending on what you're making (pour over is my favorite). It comes with a little cleaning brush too, which is handy because the grounds get everywhere when you open it up (i mean seriously, who designed that? Couldn't they have thought of something else?).The grinder has a stainless steel body and looks pretty decent on the counter. It's got 12 settings for different grind sizes - from coarse to fine - which is more than enough for me. I mostly use it for medium grinds, but hey, options are nice right? One thing i noticed though was that some of the finer settings did produce a lot of heat when grinding, and i'm not sure if that affects the flavor or not (maybe someone smarter can figure that out). Overall, this grinder is pretty good. It does what it needs to do without too much fuss. Just be prepared for coffee grounds EVERYWHERE when you clean it - seriously, get a dustpan handy.

This is kind of loud but it works great! The grind size is perfect(Best coffee we’ve ever had) It doesn’t take up much space and it’s not heavy by any means. I think it’s going to last for a long time.

I just got this and used it for the first time, so this is only my first impression. I'll try to come back and update this review after some more time and usage. I'll list a few weirdnesses/problems, from my first use:1. I selected 7 on the number-of-cups dial, as a cautious first try, to grind a batch of beans for making cold brew in an 8-cup French press. I poured in way more than enough beans in the intake hopper, or so I thought (I put in 2 very heaping tablespoons of beans per "cup"), and pressed the On button, assuming it would grind 7 cups' worth of beans and stop with some still left in the hopper. I was surprised that it went through all the beans I'd put in the hopper, and was still going, when I had to shut it off because the hopper was empty.This was way way more than what I usually use, to make a fairly strong batch of cold brew in my 8-cup French press (typically I use maybe 2 level-not-heaping tablespoons of beans per "cup). The grounds filled the French press more than halfway, just with the grounds, before adding any water! and this was with the # cups set to 7 not even 8, and with having shut it off after it ran out of beans to grind. So something seems way off, in its idea of how much per "cup" on its the number-of-cups dial? I scooped out half of the grounds from the French press, to approximate how much I usually use to make a reasonable batch of "8 cups" of cold brew. So I guess I'll have to set the number of cups way down to something like half (maybe 4?), on the grinder, of the number of cups given on the side of the French press, next time (i.e. 8)?[edited: used it again and set the number of cups to 6. This produced only a little more than I wanted, for the cold brew in the 8-cup French press (I scooped out the extra, enough to make a decently strong batch of hot brew in a separate 2-cup French press I have). Next time I'll try setting it to 4 or 5 cups, and see if that matches my expectations, for how much I put in the 8-cup French press for a reasonably strong batch of cold crew.]2. I set the coarseness to something near the maximum, as shown in the instructions, past #10 and into the "swoosh" icon, since I'm making cold brew. When I ran the grinder, most of the output was satisfactorily coarse, but there was some fine powder, stuck to the side of the output container. Not too much fine powder, just a few clumps, but still disappointing; when I use a manual burr grinder on a coarse setting, I don't get any fine powder like this.[edited: see uploaded photo of the output bin, showing some unwanted/unexpected very fine powder caked together near the top, above the expected/wanted coarse grind below]3. The instructions are a little confusing. At first I wasn't sure about the "removable upper burr", if it was needed or not, or if was optional, since it could be removed like the brush that's stuck in it? the instructions don't say you need the upper burr to be in place. Only at the end, in the "Maintenance" section, does it mention this upper burr, where it says to remove it for cleaning (so I guessed that meant you DO need it in place for grinding, if it expects you to remove it for cleaning).4. Cleanup is a little difficult, with the fine powder stuck to everything, even though I'd used the coarsest setting so I didn't expect any such fine powder at all.My previous grinding experience, for reference: as I mentioned, nowadays I'm making cold brew, in a French press. Years ago (when I was using an Aeropress which wants finer grinds) I inherited an electric blade grinder, which can only produce very fine grind since it keeps slicing the same beans/grinds over and over.So once I began using the French press, and especially once I started making cold brew in it, I bought a manual ceramic burr grinder, a Kyocera (same as a Hario?) and used that for a while, OK but output is uneven, and there's no lid, so it's prone to spilling beans while I'm grinding, especially since sometimes it gets stuck on a bean in its craw and the handle jerks out of my hand, thereby rocking the whole thing so that some beans spill out. Then I got a Hario ceramic burr grinder, the high end super upgraded model with improved ceramic burr mechanism for more even output (?) and a lid to prevent beans from spilling out. Used that for a couple of years, until the ceramic burr got stuck on some beans and broke, the whole ceramic burr block split in half! Went back to the Kyocera for a while, again with no lid and uneven output. Then decided to try this electric Krupps burr grinder as a treat.

This coffee grinder is a lot quieter than other grinders that I have previously used. I really like the wide variety of settings (i.e., cups, coarseness) and volume of the bean hopper. That being said, I do wish that the coffee bean hopper were easily removed so that excess beans could be returned to their storage container instead of turning the whole coffee grinder upside down. It would also be nice if the lid to the bean hopper would stay open so you don't have to hold it open while pouring in the coffee beans. Overall, the grinder does a great job, and I would definitely buy it again.
