I got this as a gift for my birthday, replacing an old grinder.
The design of this looks like it ought to be good with a removable grinding mechanism. The reality just doesn't work out.
The lid on this model sits over the grinding basin, and as a result coffee gets between the basin and the lid, and drops into the motor and all over the counter when you remove it. Maybe I'm holding it wrong.
I wanted a spice grinder and thought this would be ideal. It is an absolutely terrible design and some of the spice actually comes out between the lid and the sides of the grinder when it is in progress. It is also so difficult to clean and you can't submerge it in water and wash the container otherwise water gets trapped between the plastic and the metal. A lesson learned for next time I have to buy one.
FionnaThe key to great tasting coffee is freshly ground beans, and you can have this delicious flavor every morning with the De'Longhi Coffee Grinder. Durable and long lasting stainless steel blades grind any bean to perfection. Simply press the button on top of the lid to grind, and remove your hand once your desired consistency is achieved. When grinding is complete, just remove the ground coffee container and pour directly into your coffee filter. It's that easy! Cleaning is also a breeze with the convenient integrated brush. No worries about safety either with this grinder, once pressure is removed from the lid the blades stop turning. Other highlights include self contained cord storage for clutter free countertops.
