Salton Automatic Coffee Mill does the job, but other brands are better

byKris. Jul 31, 2001
58 Helpfuls 59 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Cord can be wrapped around the base, doesn't spit coffee grounds onto your counter
Cons Clogs constantly, grind is not consistent
Recommended it? No

I bought the Salton Coffee Grinder several months ago. I was not expecting a lot from a cheap grinder, but I am still somewhat disappointed in this machine.

So what's the problem?
Grind consistency - The size of the coffee granules is not consistent. Even though it is a burr grinder,... Read full review »

Pros Low price
Cons Doesn't do a good job
Recommended it? No

When I replaced my Toshiba grind-and-brew with a Mr. Coffee,which doesn't grind the beans, I had a 2-lb bag of coffee beans that needed to be ground up before I could make some coffee. So I went to WalMart to find a coffee grinder. The Salton Mill was the only one there for about $15. I thought... Read full review »

Grinder that keeps on working and working

Pros Dependable, easy to use and store, very durable, no clogs EVER (medium grind)
Cons Manufacturer discontinued and a bit loud for finer ears.
Recommended it? Yes

I first bought this grinder at Walmart and didn't flinch when it was $30, a bit more than it's competitors. I took it home, put the coffee beans in, and away it went. Perfect!

I've NEVER had a clog, never had any sort of problem with it and I've owned it for 6 years now, making coffee... Read full review »

Consider Only If...

Pros Price
Cons 10% powder, noisy, messy
Recommended it? Yes

I had been using a Krups blade grinder for years and wanted the grind control offered by a burr grinder but had always wondered if the prices I had seen ($50 - $150) were worth it.

What steered me to this grinder was the price, $20 in my local supermarket; this is the major reason to buy... Read full review »

"Clogs constantly"...I'll second that!

Pros Price
Cons Uneven grind, clogs constantly.
Recommended it? No

Wow, a burr grinder for $15! I couldn't resist trying it out for that price. I'd used a blade grinder forever, but since I'd started getting into espresso of late...I figured this unit would grind finer and more evenly.

WRONG! My first try using the finest setting gave me a mix of... Read full review »

Pros none
Cons switch must be held continuously, slow, loud, clogs easily
Recommended it? No

I just threw mine in the garbage. What a piece of junk.

1. You have to hold your finger on the switch for it to run. Be prepared for a sore finger.
2. It is slow.
3. It is loud.
4. It clogs easily.
5. You have to shake it to keep the beans flowing.
6. The seal... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, adjust, and clean.
Cons Needs some help feeding the beans (not hard to do).
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this little burr type coffee grinder for only a few dollars at a second-hand store a couple of years ago. I have put it through some use and am very satisfied with it, even with its shortcomings.

It is easy to adjust, use, and clean. I have not had any grounds clog up the burr... Read full review »

Pros does what it promises, easy to use.
Cons rubber gasket falls off. noisy. No manual available from Salton
Recommended it? Yes

I was given this Salton cm4 and am impressed with it's simplicity. It seems to do what it promises, although I find it louder than my other grinder. What's with the rubber gasket behind the bin? seems to fall off a lot.
Getting it used, I wish I could get a copy of the owner's manual, but... Read full review »
