An entry level burr grinder, this one is suitable for drip coffee only. It produces too much dust for press pot, and not an even enough grind for true espresso.

Bottom Line: This is a great grinder for under $50. I don't drink espresso, only coffee, so I don't know how it is with espresso.
Marty Davids (quality: 4.5) 01.17.2000 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Good, inexpensive grinder for most brew methods.
Howard L. Sheppard (quality: 5.0) 02.13.2000 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Perfect choice as a step up from blade grinders and it won‘t break your bank account
Terry (quality: 3.0) 05.01.2000 Rating: 6.4

Bottom Line: If you can afford it, get a better grinder. If you can't afford it, get a Zassenhaus. This one's a freakin' monster.

Bottom Line: Bad bad bad! You‘re better off using an old shoe.

Bottom Line: For forty bucks? Come on what a deal, My last braun blade lasted 10 years and still works.It may not be the in the "Barbie kitchen", but it works.

Denise B. (quality: 3.0) 07.06.2001 Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: name and looks are deceiving- we were not at all impressed
Daniel Marsalone (quality: 7.7) 07.14.2001 Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Great inexpensive grinder for regular coffee and low end pump espresso machines (ie Krups/DeLonghi).
Sheri Richardson (quality: 8.0) 08.19.2001 Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: Good overall; some quirks; knob breakage
Bob Trancho (quality: 8.2) 01.14.2002 Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: Mr. Coffee level grinding
Brian Combs (quality: 7.0) 01.17.2002 Rating: 6.0
Bottom Line: Considering the lack of information I had, not a bad purchase.
Rick Andrusz (quality: 7.8) 02.10.2002 Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: Save up for a Solis Maestro instead.
Tg Spinner (quality: 7.0) 02.12.2002 Rating: 5.8
Bottom Line: My next one will not be this model Braun, although, it does serve its purpose.
Andrew Bajorinas (quality: 6.0) 02.21.2002 Rating: 5.8
Bottom Line: If you can't afford a good bur grinder, this is better than a whirly blade.
John K. (quality: 5.5) 07.11.2002 Rating: 5.0
Bottom Line: Good for regular coffee grinds, worthless for espresso grinds.
Keith Richmond (quality: 5.5) 12.03.2002 Rating: 7.8
