Hamilton Beach 80335 Black Coffee Grinder

Very simple but effective.the longer you hold the switch the finer the grind. Now , to be clear ,I’m using it to grind egg shells for the garden which it does a superb job. 10 seconds for powder. Quite confident it will grind coffee beans just as efficiently. Got it as a used item so the price was right.

Works great. Isn’t as loud as most. Grind quality is great and fast. It has one button, so based on how long you grind, that’s the type of grind that you will get. Nice design, very compact. You can take the part out and clean it properly, but also pour the grinds without having to lift the whole grinder up. Doesn’t smell weird after use.

We've had this grinder about 2.5 years now and I like it. It does the job. We do a coarse grind of beans for Keurig coffee, and a fine grind for our espresso machine. It's a bit loud, but I don't mind that. Good machine for a good price.

Personally I am very pleased with this coffee grinder. Mind you, the grinding cup could be bigger. But I am a single person, so I do 2 tablespoons of coffee beans at a time. This way it never makes a mess. After that I put the ground coffee into a vacuum airtight container. Yes, it is quite noisy. The secret is to PULSE it, 3 times for 5 seconds. I count till 5 and stop. I tap the sides of the cup, so it won't spill. Then I pour it into my vacuum container over the sink. Then I use the brush which I purchased specially to clean the cup and the lid . This coffee cleaning brush is very soft and gets into all the corners, does an excellent job. I hand wash the container and lid once a week. But I make the best coffee I had in years using beans by Melitta. The reason why I gave it only 4 stars is because it is quite noisy and the grinding cup is too small

After three years of use, I'm finally writing a review. This is a very simple coffee grinder. It spins at one speed setting, so if you want a course grind, then don't grind longer than 15 seconds. The longer you grind, the finer it gets. There are two removable parts: 1) the cap/cup (top), and 2) the cup/blade (bottom). This makes cleaning very easy. Here's how you use the grinder. 1) Plug in the electrical cord. 2) Fill the cup/blade with coffee beans. 3) Place the cap/cup onto the cup/blade. 4) Press the button for at least 15 seconds. 5) Unplug machine by gripping the plug. 6) Turn machine upside down so the coffee grinds fall into the cap/cup. 7) Remove the machine from the cap/cup. 8) Pour out grinds from cap/cup. I go through these steps because of some of the reviews. Some people say that they make a mess when they remove the cup/blade. I understand why. The cup/blade has fill lines. This implies that the cup/blade is intended to be removed during operations to remove the finished grinds. But no, do not remove the cup/blade with grinds in the cup/blade. Turn the machine upside down so that the grinds fall into the cap/cup. This is because the cap/cup removes easily, and the cup/blade does not remove easily. You will make a mess struggling with the cup/blade while it is full of grinds. Another review said the cord get damaged at the base when unplugging. This is an example of the need for detailed instructions. What is obvious to some is not always so. When you unplug, grip the plug and pull. Do not only hold the machine and yank the cord out of the electrical outlet. You will damage the connection between the cord and the machine. This coffee grinder is very simple, with a good design, well built and reasonably priced. Qualities that you want in any tool.
