Product Reviewed: Coffee Grinder
Bottom Line: Not worth buying as weak motor and won't last

Product Reviewed: Hw Burr Grinder
Bottom Line: GREAT machine, for making dust out of good beans!! Also if you like "drip sludge" coffee!
Regina Verdin 08.20.2006 Rating: 2.6
Product Reviewed: DCG59 Retro Burr
Bottom Line: Cheap Burr Grinder-Bad quality- not for those who like fresh roasted beans. You get what you pay for.

Product Reviewed: DeLonghi DCG59 Retro Burr
Bottom Line: Motor blew after little use. I will probably replace with a Capresso. Also, it would be nice if Amazon would know you purchased a replacemnent policy along with grinder when you complain of a defect.

Product Reviewed: DCG-3
Bottom Line: DCG-3 is reviewed. Much better than a blade grinder and only $30-40, but not as good as grinders costing much more. Dust, cleanliness, and high RPM may be issues.

Bottom Line: Don't buy this grinder. Save your money to buy a better quality burr grinder.
Wolfhard Homma (quality: 2.0) 09.03.2004 Rating: 4.4
Product Reviewed: DCG-4 Burr Grinder
Bottom Line: Cheap and quiet, but do not use for espresso.
David Clark (quality: 3.5) 08.18.2004 Rating: 6.8
Product Reviewed: DCG4
Bottom Line: All in all it is working fine with my Infuze vacuum pot (another Ebay story). I can't complain.

Product Reviewed: Burr Mill w/ Tbsp Timer
Bottom Line: I'm going to donated this to charity. Don't bother with this product - there are blade grinders that can do a far better job for less money.
