I've had this grinder for around 2 years now and it's been 100% reliable. It's very easy to operate and the grind settings are good enough for all machines. I've just bought a Gaggia Baby Class D espresso machine and this Krups grinder makes fine enough coffee to use in it.
There are some small niggles; the beans sometimes get stuck and you have to shake it to loosen them again, also the two safety mechanisms (hopper lid and grind container) can occasionally be temperamental, but these are small prices to pay for such quality at a low price.

I liked this machine to begin with. It was easy to use and the coffee that it produced was tasty - freshly ground really does make a difference!
Unfortunately, after 6 months the machine now makes coffee powder. The coffee is ground so finely - even on the coarsest setting - that it clogs paper coffee filters and I have to brew coffee one cup at a time. This grinder is also very messy. A fine layer of coffee dust has appeared all over our kitchen, and I get more coffee on the counter-tops than I do in the filter. I was shocked by how much coffee I'm wasting! Having tried a friend's machine, I think I'll be moving on to the Dualit burr grinder.

When I found out I was going to be given this grinder as a present I checked the reviews here and to be honest, they made me a bit nervous. Turns out, I needent have been - this is a great little grinder.
I'm not going to accuse any other reviewers of being elitist but as far as I'm concerned, this grinder does everything I'd hoped for from a burr grinder. It is efficient, fairly compact, easy to use, not too expensive and gives a good even grind. I only use it for an espresso machine which it does well so I can't account for rougher grinds.
There are a few small niggles people should be aware of - sometimes the beans don't feed through but a quick shake solves that, and the fine ground coffee does have a habit of sticking to the side of the container because of static, but that is no big deal to me. Neither of these outweigh the good value for money that this represents in my opinion.
Some reviewers have commented that the safety mechanisms are a bit over-zealous but I've not had any experience of that.
All in all, this should be enough for an everyday coffee lover who wants to upgrade from buying ground coffee to having it fresh every day in the home - if you want something more than that though, you will have to pay for it.

Super grinder, great price
I always wanted a burr grinder but was put off by the price of most - and reading the reviews it seems that even expensive models do not grind find enough for espresso. Read more

Fairly useless
Edited after one week of use:
The top hopper microswitch is far too sensitive which means I have to hold down the hopper lid. This is unacceptable. Read more
