An OK basic grinder

byScott_A_R Jul 22, 2005

Pros Cheap
Cons Not really worth the price.
Recommended it? No

In the quest for a good cup of coffee, bean freshness is one of the top requirements. That being the case, it is imperative that freshly-roasted whole beans be purchased and ground before use. Ground coffee typically stales within hours, so "fresh" and "pre-ground" are oxymoronic.

Love it, glad I bought this grinder

Pros Great price for an entry level burr grinder, well-engineered product. Drinking more good...
Cons Fine coffee dust visible, should have bought the black model. Drinking more coffee now.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this coffee grinder despite some tepid reviews here, and I'm very glad I did. It is positioned as an entry level burr grinder, and as an entry level coffee fanatic (I just started roasting my own green beans within the last year) it is perfect for me. It grinds quickly and aeromatically,... Read full review »

Looks nice until you use it

Pros timer, airtight storage
Cons messy, not very reliable
Recommended it? No

This grinder looks great on paper. It has an adjustable grind size suitable for grinding beans for French press and espresso coffee, and anything in between. The beans go into a air-tight container on the top so you can store them in the grinder indefinitely, and just grind your coffee right before... Read full review »

Reliable and Messy!

14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros consistent grind, convenient bean storage
Cons better plan to wipe up afterward!
Recommended it? Yes

I graduated to this grinder from several of the blade-type units. Each type has its advantages but these are the main advantages of this type:

1) you can set the timer to grind the exact amount you need for your pot.
2) you can store extra beans in the hopper, saving going for coffee... Read full review »

At least it's cheap?

byThump93yj Jan 7, 2001
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Inexpensive, looks nice, better than the blade, dishwasher safe parts
Cons Noisy, messy, not the best grind results
Recommended it? Yes

Ok. So It's better than a blade grinder. A little better.

Having blade ground my coffee for years with my inexpensive Krups one-touch, I finally gave in to the bean purist and decided to evolve myself up to a 'real' grinder. WOW! These things are EXPENSIVE. $100+ for a decent burr... Read full review »

Braun Cafe Select Coffee Grinder, Model KMM 30

byarthur3209 Jul 24, 2003
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Provides a consistent grind using a precision milling system.
Cons I wish it had a start button for starting the motor.
Recommended it? Yes

I wanted a coffee bean grinder to use with my new coffee maker, and since the Braun KMM 30 was available at the same store, I purchased it at the same time. This is not a new product, having reviews that go back to 1999, but that says something to me about its value, since the same model is still... Read full review »

Great Coffee, but tough cleaning

byprattguy Jun 9, 2000
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Ease of use, quicker clean-up than other models
Cons size
Recommended it? Yes

Well, I watched enough of the Food Network to realize I, as a consumer of 14 cups each morning, couldn't continue what they call the "horror" of using pre-ground coffee.
So, I looked around for the best type of grinders, and one that could keep up with the amounts my body craves every grumpy... Read full review »

If you don't mind the clean-up...

Pros compact, inexpensive
Cons messy, messy, messy
Recommended it? No

We found this coffee mill on clearance at Target for $28.
I read the opinions here and figured, "there's always going to be some mess just because you're grinding."
Yes, some mess, but I didn't plan on this kind of mess; the grounds go everywhere.
I live in a dry climate, so I am not... Read full review »

Disappointingly messy!

Pros Reliable, convenient features, good quality grinding
Cons Very messy for fine grinds, difficult to cleanly transfer grounds to the coffee maker
Recommended it? No

If you use heavily roasted coffee, with a lot of surface oil (expresso and french roast), here's three important things that you should take into account before buying this grinder. These defects add up to a perpetual mess of escaped grounds on your counter:

(1) The burr's grinding... Read full review »

Makes a woman happy and doesn't require batteries!

Pros Great coffee, easy to maintain
Cons Takes up more room than some
Recommended it? Yes

Who says you can't buy happiness? Just the smell of fresh ground coffee makes me happy! I bought my beloved Braun coffee grinder last year at Sam's Club for $14.97, mainly because the price was right and it came with a free pound of coffee. Well, it has changed the way we drink coffee at my house... Read full review »
