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

I purchased this Krups GX450 coffee grinder after having purchased the Krups 5 cup coffee maker. I was so impressed with the coffee maker that I decided I would try a Krups coffee grinder. I have had a little coffee grinder in the past and I found it somewhat annoying to use. It was too loud, too messy, too inconsistent (no options to specify the courseness of the grind, etc.) So I saw this Krups grinder on Amazon and bought it using the like new option. This saved me some considerable money on the price. (I’ve had great success with that option with other purchases from Amazon.) The device did come in the Krups box, but it looked like it had been somewhat repackaged. It was clean and looked like new. The only weird thing is, they had a hand Xeroxed instruction manual for the smaller older model in the box, rather than the one that goes with this model. I wound up having to dig deep on the Krups website to find a downloadable version of the manual for this new device. Also, strangely on Krups‘s site, they don’t even feature this new grinder on the American website. So having used the device for a few days, I must say it’s fantastic. It works super well. It’s not deafeningly loud, and it does an excellent job of grinding the coffee to the courseness that you choose. I would say the design of this unit is greatly superior to the other model they make that is smaller. Interestingly, I have yet to see any reviews on this actual unit in Amazon that pertain to this new model. Just a word of advice if you get this machine, the method to remove the bean hopper from the machine to clean it or clear it out is not very obvious. What you need to do is rotate the whole hopper counterclockwise many times until the hopper begins to unscrew from the bottom of the unit I had to do a lot of experimentation before I figured that out. And that is not clearly indicated in the instructions at all. Overall, I highly recommend this unit. It works very well and looks great with the Krups coffee maker.

Love it! Had this a couple years already, it's going strong with zero issues. It is Genuinely Quiet, as advertised, and grinds evenly. Interesting to note that, even though there is no obvious LED display, if you leave it plugged in, it does draw 6 Watts of power. We use ours only about 2-3 mins/day; it makes sense to unplug for the other 23+ hours to conserve a little bit of electricity. My old Krups grinder (>30 years old and also going strong, just noiser) draws zero power if left plugged in. I've only experienced great quality from this company!

I've been using this grinder since October 2022, and it's still going strong. I chose it because it was under $100 and had excellent reviews, and it hasn't disappointed. I primarily use it for dark roast beans, and the grind settings work well for my percolators, moka pot, V60, and Aeropress. While it occasionally gums up with impacted grinds, it's fairly easy to unclog—though a bit messy. The static in the container is manageable, but a better solution to prevent it would be appreciated. The measurements on the front are handy, though I usually weigh my beans before grinding. Adjusting the grind gauge can be a little tricky, but it gets the job done. I also like the kill-switch safety features that stop the grinder if the lid is open or the container isn't properly inserted. The biggest downside is the noise—it's extremely loud. People often comment on it when they're nearby. That said, it performs significantly better than a blade grinder, and for the price, it’s a solid option that suits my needs.

This grinder works ok overall, but has some design defects that reduce convenience in using it. With the hopper located in the back of the grinder, this will be against the wall usually and this makes it hard to get the beans in without spilling some, especially if you have cabinets above it. I often spill a couple beans when loading it. Contributing to this problem is the location of the cleaning brush--in an upright piece that is right in the middle of the hopper where you want to dump in the beans, so you'll probably have some beans bounce out off the top of the brush and land on your counter when you add them to the hopper unless you're really careful in adding them. (See my fix below.) Also, the receptacle where the ground coffee is shot into is too big for anything smaller than a man's hand. This makes it cumbersome to pull out, and to handle when you want to pour the ground coffee into whatever you're going to use to brew it (I use a pour over cone). For this reason it's also hard to get all the ground coffee into the cone (or would be harder even into a French press or Aeropress) without a bit of it falling onto your counter. I have to clean a bit up every morning. As for the mechanics of grinding, setting grind fineness, and time of grinding, it works ok. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I'd known these small problems, but it's past the return deadline so I will have to keep it. And my Fix: I figured this out after writing the review above. To eliminate the poor positioning of the cleaning brush storage piece, I just cut it off slightly above the upper grinding portion and removed the cut piece. You'll have to put this with its enclosed brush elsewhere. To do this I used a hack saw to saw through the three vertical plastic pieces that hold up the upper portion of the piece (see photo of the two pieces after cutting). I don't see how this would affect function in any way, including grinding, but it will allow free dumping of beans into the hopper making the grinder easier to use. It also should not affect removing and putting back the upper grind mechanism--you can still get a good grip on it using the three remaining cut vertical support pieces. I'll try it tomorrow morning for the first time, and if I find anything about it that adversely affects function, I'll update this review. The promised "tomorrow morning" update: I used it this morning as usual, incorporating my "fix" suggested above, and it ground the coffee normally. The only (small) addition to my evaluation of this fix is that it makes removing and reinserting the vertical piece (that you have cut) that holds the brush, a little harder. But if you follow the directions for doing this (fine setting, turn clockwise to remove, and coarse setting, turn counterclockwise to reinsert) it is very doable. The good news though is that the modification was a big improvement in convenience with no decline in grinding performance. For the first time I was able to add the beans easily with no risk of some bouncing out off the top of the vertical brush holder piece, or the need to enter a meditative state before adding the beans. Experiment successful. I'll update if anything changes as time goes on.

It doesn’t get your coffee fine enough at all Super disappointed as I did a lot of research My view , just buy powder unless you live next to a coffee plantation . As powder and beans are packed the same into sealed containers and the powder saves all the mess and roaches that follow even a micro coffee ground left over after grinding

This is my second Krups grinder in about 10 years. The last one broke due to a tiny piece of plastic breaking off on the inside, which was regrettable because it was still working up until that point. Works great. If you are grinding for a KCUP Keurig machine, make sure it’s set for the finest grind.

Muy bien.

Works well. It’s loud, so I make sure to grind coffee at night so I don’t wake the ‘sleeping in’ family in the morning. Next time I will try a quiet grinder.
