The last time I reviewed a coffee grinder I expressed extreme disappointment because it came from Black and Decker and I thought they would be able to make a decent grinder since they are so good at building tools that chop and screw anything together. My family felt kinda bad but they did laugh because there is something entertaining to them about watching me use a paper clip to help gr...

We watched a program the other evening about what would happen if man vanished from the earth.  Of all the things that we live with, the only item that we have that would actually survive our abandonment as the earth reclaimed itself, would be stainless steel!Well, my kitchen would then be one of the last surviving kitchens on earth if that were the case because I've gradually changed ...

We like to grind our own coffee beans at home, rather than buy them pre-ground.  Grinding our own beans gives us fresher tasting coffee. This Krups coffee bean grinder was one of the best small kitchen appliance purchases we have made.  We have had our grinder for years and it still works great!It does not take long to grind your own beans with Krups.  You pour the beans int...

Prior to purchasing this Braun White coffee grinder I owned a Braun Black and used it on a regular basis until the motor died.  A lesson that indicates although these machines are sturdy, the motor isn't meant to be run at high speed for long periods.  My husband use to use the other one frequently but he wasn't aware that the beans should be pulsated and after a few years of ...

This Betty Crocker Coffee Grinder can be a great item to have in your kitchen if you enjoy buying your coffee in the whole bean form. I think this is a very simple machine to use. You pour the whole coffee beans in the top. Set the dial to the desired number of cups and the machine will grind the proper amount coffee. Then you simply brew the coffee as you normally would. A couple of drawbacks ...

My grandma bought me this GE one touch coffee bean grinder a few years ago. I don't drink a lot of coffee personally, but when I do drink coffee I like it freshly ground and brewed.This coffee bean grinder is small, and in the color black. It is easy to use for the most part. Sometimes I have trouble getting the lid to lock, but I think that is my problem and not a flaw on the machines part...

This is my Dutch ceramic coffee grinder that I purchased on a trip to Holland about 35 years ago.  I can remember growing up my grandmother had one of these and as kids we were always competing to see who she would ask to grind the coffee when we came over to visit. Flash forward and it was my 2 daughters who would beg to be able to stand on a chair and grind away the coffee beans for...

I am not really much of a coffee drinker, but I use my Proctor-Silex Fresh Grind Coffee Grinder quite frequently.   I use it for spices rather than coffee.   It does a good job grinding dry herbs and spices like cumin seeds, pepper corns, red pepper flakes. I even grind bay leaves to put in Black Bean Soup. I use a lot of spices in my cooking - they are cheaper when bought i...

This grinder is very well built and does a great job doing what it was designed to do...grind! My husband deer hunts and I use it to grind out the meat for sausage. The stuffer feature is very easy to use. I have never had a problem with plugging or creating a mess. This grinder is made of tin plated cast iron, which makes it very heavy. I would suggest finding a place to put it perminantly for...

A big disappointment. That is my opinion of this product. I expected much more from Black and Decker, once known for making quality electronic products for home use. But this SmartGrind Coffee grinder is making me think otherwise. It is simply an appliance with barely glued-on pieces that break easily. I received this as a gift a few months ago, and I wish I could return it.If you look at the p...

Making your own baby food can be pretty easy with the Munchkin baby food grinder. Every time you cook lunch or dinner, you can probably take something from it and put it through the baby food grinder and make baby food for your infant. We always used it when we made broccoli, spaghetti, chili, chicken, etc. It's a very strong tool too. I've cut an apple in slices and, peel and all, pu...

My Melitta Mill & Brew Coffee Maker has been the best coffee maker that I have ever owned! My husband purchased it at Taget on clearance when our coffee pot broke. Melitta is a wonderful brand and they still sell this model at several retailers, but the cost is $69-99. There is a timer which means I can put the water and beans in the night before and then set it to start the next ...

Rather than send my leaves and twigs to the landfill each fall and pay for fresh garden mulch each spring, I decided to grind up my own leaves and twigs into garden mulch since I have plenty of both. I hunted around for an affordable chipper, and I found the Task Force 15-amp Electric Chipper at Lowe's for $159.The Task Force 15-amp Electric Chipper is easy to operate. A provided ...
