Mr. Coffee New 12 Cup Plastic Coffee Grinder in Black

I bought this item 20 years ago and lost it in a poker game. that's a lie but the truth is too long of a story. was given a different brand as a gift and never really felt like it did the job. repurchased and am now caffeinated properly.

This is my Second one of these grinders. The first one was still going strong, except that the part that you push down to grind had broken. You could still use it that way, but it was getting harder to use. My first one I bought in 2018 so this is a really long lasting great grinder. I prefer this particular grinder over the most updated just because it has the numbers of tablespoons to put in according to how many cups you want. The only reason for a four star review is because this grinder doesn't seem to grind quite as well on the course setting as the previous one did. I have just started using this grinder, so maybe after a few grinds that will resolve itself. I highly recommend this grinder.

This is the single best grinder I have ever used. The price was an influence in my decision, however, since I have used it, I'm sure I would purchase it again if I needed to, even if it cost more. The grinder did exactly what it says it will do, and I like that the most. The design is clean, and doesn't take up too much room. I like the way it stays on the countertop without moving like some grinders do when you use them, and feels strong enough, that I know it's going to last longer than the others I have purchased. It doesn't take over the kitchen, and yet, it's a real plus to the countertop. It looks good enough, that I will keep this one out, and not store it away like the others I have owned. Last, I used it tonight and did almost 3 pounds of coffee in no time at all. That is the real plus to this machine, it works well. It's Outstanding!

This replaced the same exact model I had for 10 - 15 yrs (total estimation, call it a very long time) and works like a champ! My last one finally gave up and was glad to find it's replacement without any updates. Set the number of cups and the grind you want and hold the top button until it shuts off. Perfect every time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've purchased a few coffee grinders over the years. A few of which I thought did a pretty good job. That is until NOW. This grinder is simple to use and yet because of the multitude of features, its perfect for coffee connoisseurs of all levels. The grinding chamber is removable, allowing for easy transference of grounds. No more guessing how long to grind for Fine, Medium or Course grounds; there's a preprogrammed selection of each. Want to freshly grind onky enough for a few cups, but you arent sure how that measures out; no worries, that too is printed of the sind of the grinder itself, along with the corresponding preselected options. Did I mention that the grinding chamber has a MAX FILL reminder, printed, with a line for reference. There's also a pulse grind option for those who'd prefer to wing it. Lol. Its slightly larger than my other grinders, but the added features are worth the added size. Its attractive and would compliement any kitchen decor. You will not be disappointed!!! As much as I tried, I dont see any cons with this unit.

This item is so easy to use. Simple and very reliable. the best part is that you can take out the cup for ease in use.

Second one purchased , first lasting 20 years used almost daily . Initially purchased competitors due to price, but did not live up to this one so decided to replace with same. 4 stars only because a bit hard to remove top/ lid to place and to pour out beans, which may be due to newness. Would recommend.

This is the most precise blade grinder that I have ever used. It allows you to select the amount of coffee and how coarse to grind it and the grind time is adjusted accordingly. You press on the lid and the grinder automatically shuts off when it is done. It is surprisingly accurate and I use it for fine espresso and for a coarse grind for a coffee press. The numbers wore off pretty quickly, so I had to remember what each light meant when I changed the settings. The "chamber maid" system is a few plastic pieces that scrape the walls of the grinding chamber when you twist the lid, this is designed to keep coffee from sticking to the inside. It works very well, but, as with many of the other reviews, these scrapers all recently broke and now it makes a terrible noise when I grind coffee and little pieces of plastic break off into the grounds. I have owned this grinder for a little over a year and use it almost every day. I was impressed by the performance, but I am disappointed that it did not last longer.

I had this coffee grinder for two years. I did not use it everyday, more like two days a week (on my weekends when I don't have to rush off). One month ago, the plastic guards inside of the chamber started to crack. One plastic piece fell off last week and then this morning, one of the guards completely broke off and got shredded up with the coffee. I tried to remove the little plastic-guard apparatus but you can't. It is only there to lock the lid on (still works without the plastic guards, just have to hold the lid down), so it is really useless as it just cracks and gets shredded in with the coffee. I tossed it. It served it's purpose for two years but seeing that I do not use it everyday, I would have expected a longer lifetime. It did grind the coffee up nicely. The only thing I am dissatisfied with is the life-span and the horribly-cheap housing. I think I will pay a bit more for a grinder with a steel housing, one that isn't plastic.

I owned one of these for 15 years. Purchased clearance for approximately $8.00. I used it for coffee beans and also herbs and spices while cooking. This new grinder is not built as well. I must grind my coffee beans at least 3 times before they are ground to perfection. The only reason that my older grinder had to be replaced was due to the plastic pieces inside and blades became unbalanced and the blades cut into them. The motor is still running strong. It really is disappointing when you're loyal to a product and brand because the brand produced great quality products, but that's no longer the case.
