Amazon.com Review
With a capacity of 2.36 ounces, this sleek machine employs stainless-steel blades to grind enough coffee beans for brewing up to twelve 5-ounce cups of percolator, drip, or espresso coffee. The grinder can be filled with beans and the amount of beans it grinds can be selected with a dial that's calibrated by number of cups desired: 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12. During operation, lights above the on/off button flash on the grind selector, indicating when the grind is coarse, medium, or fine, permitting the grinder to be shut off when the desired grind is achieved. The grind selector displays the words "coarse," "medium," and "fine" along with the brewing method appropriate for each grind: respectively, "perc" (percolator), "drip," and "espresso." Clad in gleaming black plastic with matte silver accents, the hourglass-shaped grinder is thoroughly contemporary in appearance and has a rubberized grip and push-in cord storage. Rubberized feet prevent it from slipping during operation. It carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 Works great, but not what I wanted January 6, 2009
Well, the grinder I wanted was a burr grinder, and this isn't one. I thought it was because it can grind to different levels or "coarse-ness", but that is because you just grind longer. I kept it anyway. Now the good:
The unit is very quiet as far as coffee grinders go; I do not have to worry about waking up the kids having my morning coffee. Also, it does not generate ANY static on the grounds, which is a real pain with other grinders.
I would have given it 5 stars, but I was a bit unhappy about the lack of info about the type if grinder that it is.
 Best thing next to a burr grinder December 29, 2008
I've had this grinder going on 5 years and have never had a problem with it. Yes, you have to hold the button down, but its easily done while wrapping your hand around the whole unit. It gets fresh beans to a coarse grind in under 10 seconds. Another 10, and you're at espresso fine. The cup has measurement indicators on the side which are nice. I've used the espresso grind in one of the mass-market espresso machines pretty often, and its just fine for home use. I just started getting into french press makers, so I now also stop just before the coarse light comes on (about 8 seconds) for the right grind, and it works just great. I still may get a burr grinder, but only because I'm curious and getting into the press pot big time now. Highly recommend them.
People complain of this grinder making a mess. I'm not sure how. The whole machine is small enough with an ergonomic design for gripping, that I just turn it over and pour the grinds directly into the brewer's filter, or into a sealed container for later use. To make sure all the grinds comeout, I just smack the whole thing down on the counter two times, all of it loosens up, and out it comes. Been doing that for 4 years, and its held up just fine.
Old faithful! No Mess!! December 14, 2008
We've had the DeLonghi grinder for almost three years. It still works perfectly! We're especially pleased that it's a very clean grinder. Comes with a one year warranty although we never had to use it. Would definitely purchase again.
Just what I wanted! November 22, 2008
I knew what I wanted and was happy I could get it at Amazon for a reasonable price. It was delivered in a timely manner and I am using it with pleasure. One thing though: Just under ten dollars for shipping is exessive. Kinda felt like I was being taken advantage of.
A bit over-priced for what you get October 1, 2008

I got this because I had a burr grinder that couldn't do an espresso grind and a regular grinder that took a while to do an espresso grind. I also had a $30 gift card for a store I never buy anything at so I was looking for something I would use. I actually thought I was getting a burr grinder, since $30 is rather expensive for a grinder which just has a spinning blade and the description on the other web site was rather sparse.
What is nice is that the espresso grind works very well. It may be the cheapest option out there that does a good espresso grind. Other, cheaper grinders can do it, but you have to know how long to grind, whereas this one tells you when the grind is right. What stinks about this grinder is that you have to hold down the button until the "espresso" light comes on. If you are only after a coffee grinder for a drip coffee maker or a French press, get a cheaper grinder such as this Proctor Silex E160B Fresh Grind Coffee Grinder, White or a burr grinder. Burr grinders with a hopper for the ground coffee can handle more volume and make less mess, but the cheaper ones don't do an espresso grind. This one may be the cheapest one that gets to the espresso grind right easily, but it doesn't handle volume and it's hard to get the coffee out without making at least a little bit of a mess.
