17 setting, timer enabled economy grinder from Krups.

Bottom Line: An affordable burr grinder that performs dramatically better than one should expect anywhere near this price on everything except espresso. But in the end the safety features spoil the show. Buy a Kitchenaid Pro and don't look back.
Wolfhard Homma (quality: 6.0) 11.08.2005 Rating: 3.8
Bottom Line: Don't buy this grinder if you are serious about quality.
Bob Todrick 11.08.2005 Rating: 5.0
Bottom Line: If you've got a $1000 espresso machine, the Krups isn't for you...but on the whole it's great value for the $$.

Bottom Line: Poor grinder. Doesn't grind all the coffee evenly! I wouldn't recommend at all.
Sherlock Ossa 01.04.2006 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Great value for the money. Excellent companion for your drip coffee maker but beware, you will not be satisfied with the shots you pull off this grind.
Nisse Westerdahl 01.18.2006 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Gives me full satisfaction of my espressos, and leaves me with money over for good coffee beans.
Jeff Pitt (quality: 5.0) 01.24.2006 Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Good burr grinder that is affordable and makes great drip and press pot coffee. I would not recommend this machine for espresso due to lack of grind settings and lack of grind fineness.
Michigan Broadband (quality: 7.7) 07.10.2006 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Cheap, Nice to Look at, and easily modifiable for espresso.
James Swafford (quality: 7.0) 08.08.2006 Rating: 6.2

Bottom Line: It works great for me, and that's all that's important.
K Private 05.06.2007 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: Compromises? You bet, but it is still a good buy for the price point.
Arto Vallivirta (quality: 7.0) 05.07.2007 Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: You can't make good espresso grind with it, but it's still good value for 50$.
Steve Bisel 05.28.2007 Rating: 4.6
Bottom Line: Looks nice and seams like reasonable price, but overall quality and functional capability are below parr.

Steve Tipp (quality: 4.0) 09.09.2007 Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: Save up for a better machine.
Mike D (quality: 3.0) 09.26.2007 Rating: 2.0
Bottom Line: Grind much to uneven, with a fine powder produced no matter what the grind setting. Produces bad coffee and causes the machine to get clocked. Better off buying decent pre-ground coffee.
Rick C (quality: 6.0) 02.21.2008 Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: If this is your first burr grinder, it will make "good" coffee taste "pretty darn good"
Kevin Hall (quality: 3.0) 03.04.2008 Rating: 2.6
Bottom Line: Lousy machine, my first inexpensive grinder worked much better.
Roger Scanlon (quality: 6.0) 07.28.2008 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: A decent machine for drip
Rene Desrochers (quality: 4.3) 08.06.2008 Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: i have several product from krups and i think this is a really good purchase for the price and quality of this product.
Cliff Enz 09.26.2008 Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: A good wedding present at best, for a couple you don't care for.
Don Rutherford (quality: 4.0) 10.08.2008 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Good machine from a non-espresso perspective
Ross Seymour (quality: 6.0) 10.08.2008 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Good for average use
Nicole Paulsen 01.12.2009 Rating: 3.4
Bottom Line: It's DEAD! only 9 months old--RIP
William Baguhn (quality: 9.0) 03.01.2009 Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Reasonable basic grinder. Treat it like a whirlychop that does a better job.
Maciek P 02.25.2010 Rating: 1.2
Bottom Line: It has fake burrs. It crushes grains and makes mostly dust.
Brock Adams 04.18.2010 Rating: 4.6
Bottom Line: Save your money...use a blade meanwhile....get the most expensive grinder you can afford. You will thank me.
Michal Dobroczynski 05.25.2010 Rating: 4.0
Bottom Line: Save yourself the trouble and never buy this mill because it's a waste of money and your time.
Samuel Sebadja 03.27.2011 Rating: 4.4
Bottom Line: if Krups doesn't improve their burr , I wouldn't recommend you to buy this grinder , try the conical type !
Glenn Johnson 03.28.2011 Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: Surprisingly impressive little grinder
Matthew Reimer 12.17.2012 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Good for drip, and press, but totally useless for espresso.
