Proctor Silex Sound Shield Electric Coffee Grinder for Quiet Grinding, Stainless Steel Blades, Beans, Spices and More, 12 Cups, Black (80402)

The media could not be loaded. I love this grinder! OK, first let me say, I'm kinda new to coffee, meaning I only recently started making my own at home, cause I bought myself a ninja coffee machine from here on Amazon. So I went to the grocery to get coffee, and then I faced a decision, do I buy a bag of already ground coffee? Or whole beans? I figured whole beans must be fresher so I checked Amazon quickly how much a grinder will cost, I saw one from this exact brand actually, Proctor Silex, for only like $12. So I ordered that grinder right away, and bought the bag of whole beans (from Peet's), and I've been using that for like a month now, daily, grinding the coffee right before brewing it has been amazing. But the one issue I was running into, is that if I wanted a coffee late at night, it would be a big issue cause of the noise of the grinder, I live in a urban area so my neighbors wouldn't appreciate that. So when I was desperate I'd wrap the grinder in towels to muffle the sound a little, but it was still really loud. So my first try at solving this was, to buy a manual grinder, I figured I'd use that when I can't make noise. But..... Alas that didn't work out at all, cause the grinder I got is just so slow that it would take me hours to grind a few scoops. So that didn't work. But now when I came across this item, I was like ok, that seems worth a try, it's the same brand as my current grinder, doesn't even cost much more... So I got it. And bingo! Seems like my problem is solved this time. Yes it still makes some noise of course, but way way WAY less than my other one. And there is another thing I like about this one, that the coffee plate part comes out, so after grinding I can just take out the plate with the grounded coffee to pour into the machine filter thing. So that's a added convenience of this machine that I love.So I'm very happy with this purchase, it solved the noise problem for me, and it seems to work great.

This was to replace my old grinder that seemed to be about to explode. This grinder has a bit larger profile but is so quiet and efficient, I wish I’d bought it sooner. Good quality at a good price.

I had a previous grinder that worked great but didn’t have a removable cup, which was frustrating. I chose this one for that feature, and it’s so much easier to clean! It’s also quieter, which I really appreciate. The only downside is that it doesn’t grind quite as fine as my old one, but overall, it’s a solid choice and very user-friendly.

Working great, is quite. Could be quiter still tho...

Works very well and efficient. I really like the insulation cover that decreases the noise when grinding. Great price.

Smaller amount ground. Very quiet which is a great improvement. I’m satisfied.

Use it everyday for grinding my coffee bean's quiet works great! Made well easy to clean.

Quiet - Maybe 50% more quiet than the regular ones. But I would not say that quiet. If someone was sleeping in the same room and that is on, they would hear it.Feel as if the trade off with this is quiet vs everything else. In terms of being able to scoop the coffee out the cup with ease, it is not the same as the loud one. The cutter is more loose. The space between the metal and plastic of that cup is also loose. When you wash it, the water is in between. Even when you think it looks dry, if you turn it down and tap on it, the water will come out even 2 days later. The bottom part of it is also loose which is part of the cutter.Why is the water in between an issue? When you're trying to grind and keep it dry the whole time vs. have wet grounds to use for later, not helpful. 1 is it shouldn't take more than a day for anything to dry of that size. Much less 2 or 3 days after you tap it enough times to let out any water that is in between. Makes it very frustrating to keep the coffee dry when it takes so long to dry the whole cup.Over all experience doesn't make it so good to use. Unlike some, it doesn't have a setting to grind more evenly each time vs. you have to press on it the whole time. Some you set it to grind how you like and it does so hands free. This one you have to hold it down till it grinds to what looks fine enough.The main issue with the regular ones is the noise. Everything else works fine and is less bulky. This one, the pro is more quiet, but everything else makes it high maint. to use.
