Hamilton Beach Fresh Grind Electric Coffee Grinder for Beans, Spices and More, Stainless Steel Blades, Removable Chamber, Makes up to 12 Cups, Black

I bought this Hamilton Beach coffee grinder for my mom so she could enjoy fresh grounds every morning ☕️. It’s been a hit! The compact size fits perfectly on her countertop, and the removable bowl is super easy to fill and clean — plus it’s dishwasher safe. Mom loves that it grinds enough for a full pot (up to 12 cups!), and the stainless-steel blades work great for both coffee and spices. It’s quiet and gets the job done — a simple, reliable gift that keeps on giving!

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.

I had this for over 10 years and it finally had a small piece for the grinding element that broke. Bought this same exact one again. So long as this product is on the market, I intend to own it. Amazing little machine. I use it for spice blends, coffee grinder, and making small batch sauces. Great compact design, easy cleaning. Love this thing.

I’ve had it for about a week, I’ve used it every morning since I got it. I’m totally happy with it. It says it’s a lot quieter than other brands, I’d believe that it is. Obviously it’s not silent but it’s probably 1/3 as loud as an average blender, so it’s decent. It’s quick and easy to use, put your beans in, put the cap on, push the button a few times to grind em up, maybe one longer burst to really get them ground.Things you should know/other people’s complaints:Someone said that it’s “no good, it leaves chunks of beans”. This doesn’t happen to me, but my guess is that they’re not grinding the beans enough or they’re somehow over filling it. While grinding you can tip it upside down in between bursts of the motor to mix it around better.“It makes a mess, coffee grounds everywhere!” The cap is a cup. When your coffee beans (or spices) are fully ground, tip it upside down and pull the machine out of the cap, and you won’t spill anything.“The motor burnt out after just a few uses” so obvisouly I haven’t had this for more than a week so I can’t yet say it should last forever. It probably won’t, but for $15 if I have to buy a new one every year or two, I can live with that. It could’ve also just been a faulty unit... stuff happens. BUT basically don’t just hold down the button so the motor and blades spin continuously. In stead to short bursts like you’re revving a motorcycle... this will break the big pieces into smaller pieces, and shoot them around and mix them up so the blades aren’t working so hard. Then after a few bursts when it’s mostly ground up, you can hold it a bit longer to make sure there aren’t chunks left. I like my coffee a little coarse (its definitely not espresso ground... see photos).“The cord is too short”... yeah the bottom is also a cap that pulls straight down and then you can unwrap the power cable. Though, even unspooled, the cord is pretty short... it’s the only thing I don’t like about this device... it can only be about a foot from an outlet. I deal with it, but it’s the one thing I would change about it.For a cheap, tabletop grinder I don’t see how it could be beat. It’s pretty easy to clean (the top washes just like a cup, and the part where the beans sit on the blades pulls out like a cup as well). It works great and I’m totally satisfied for what it is.

I've been using this coffee grinder for a few months and am very pleased with it. It is far quieter than my old Krups grinder, and the design is well thought-out. The cord is quite short, but that hasn't been a problem for me. It is great being able to store the cord and also remove the grinding cup for cleaning. It quickly grinds my coffee to my satisfaction.
