Amazon.com Review: Nothing beats a freshly ground, freshly brewed cuppa joe to start the day, and with this grinder, you can have up to 20 cups' worth of beans at a time. The understated black color and contemporary oval design fit in well with any kitchen décor, while the small size (just 6 inches high) doesn't take up too much premium counter space. Stainless-steel blades guarantee a long life and an even grind, whether you use this grinder for coffee, spices, nuts, or even whole grains. --Jill Lightner

Rating: - So far so good
I have been using this product for two weeks. So far, I haven't had any problems, but I have experienced that if I use it for grinding 5 oz. of coffee at once, in small batches, it starts to smell like something burning.
Rating: - performance
Just as good as I expected. Grinds thoroughly and evenly. About 3 oz. at a time. As fine as you like. We've only ground about 2 lbs. so far but it's Cuisinart predecessor quit on it's first 3 oz.'s. Uses very little shelf space.
Rating: - Top Rated Inexpensive Spice Mill
I've been using this model for years, and just bought a new one. My prior one lasted roughly 7 years (guess) of fairly regular use. In my case, I mostly used it for grinding my own spices, rather than for coffee.

Rating: - Great product
I brought this coffee grinder to serve my purpose as a SPICE GRINDER. I bought this one as it had more power than the other spice grinder advertised by krups.

I am sure it would serve well as a coffee grinder too.
Rating: - Perfect for Grinding Seeds, Grains & Nuts into Flour
I know that this is a coffee grinder and I bet it's great for that too. It's solid, small, nice-looking, and operates quietly. It's got a stainless steel interior and stainless blade as well. It seems to be built to last. If fingerprints on appliances bother you, consider getting the white one since the high gloss black plastic casing was filled with fingerprints after a use or two. It cleaned up nicely, though.
In spite of its name, I bought it specifically to grind tiny chia and other seeds, nuts, and mung beans to create flours. It does that amazingly well.
