Krups GVX2 Burr Coffee Grinder
Product Description

Customer Response

One grind grinder
This coffee grinder ground coffee the same consistency despite the setting. It didn't work for a french press as it was not coarse enough.

Dissapointed in the short life-span
This grinder is smallish, quiet, and grinds evenly... for a while. After about a year (during which it has been cleaned regularly), it stopped taking beans into the grind mechanism - resulting in an uneven amount of ground coffee. In addition, it is also very messy - grounds get all over the place around the grinder while it is working, worse than other grinders I've used. Very frustrating... definitely not worth the price.

Not good for the price
I had to return it. It does not grind well (as in coarse) enough for french press, makes a lot of dust instead. Receptacle container is made of cheap plastic that causes coffee grounds and dust cling to it.

If you're looking for a garden variety grinder for medium fineness (for drip), $15 blade-type models would do the job for a fraction of price.

grind select failed, then timer
I bought this item about 18 months ago. After about a year of use, the grind selection failed, and it always produces a rather coarse grind. Then more recently the timer has stopped working, so I count to fifteen and turn it off by hand. This was a very inexpensive burr grinder, and while surely I was unlucky, it was too good to be true.

The Difference in blade vs grinder coffee beans
I have been using a blade grinder for over twenty years, and was very satisfied with the results. Recently, I purchased a burr grinder that actually grinds the beans-a blade machine does not grind! My wife and I now understand why beans that are ground make much better tasting coffee. The Krups unit purchased through Amazon.com turns out to be one of the best units available under one hundred dollars. We certainly are pleased. I invite you to go to the internet and research this topic, and then purchase a grinder from Amazon-you definately will not be disappointed. JW RIGGS
