Tefal Coffee Grinder

Great coffee grinder. This is a wonderful grinder and it is powerful a of decent depth. I have used many grinders from the huble moulinex to Krupps.I can honestly say this is the best of the bunch. It has a 200 watt motor and it feels sturdy and robust. With a little press it pounds through the coffee. You only need to press it for 10 seconds and I have good ground coffee. No faffing around and shaking or opening and checking if it is consistent. It just does the job efficiently and effectively. Like, I mentioned I have used many grinders and this is the best. It grinds everything you throw at it. I ground some nuts, and seeds and it ground them to a powder. I didn't want it ground to a powder, but I couldn't resist to see how powerful it was. The second batch of nuts (walnuts and hazlenuts) 5 seconds and they were ground to perfection for the cake the wife was readying.If you were to buy one grinder from a bunch of many. This should be your first choice. It is Tefal so it has a good guarantee behind it. But, I suspect it will last a good few years. Will it outlast my old Moulinex, which lasted 10 years, I doubt it. Nothing lasts that long. But, 3-5 years I guess I got my moneys worth, due to the amount of grinding I do. My krupps and Andrew James are now relegated to the cupboard.

Present for Xmas.

It's very noisy indeed. As a morning tool, that's a harsh wake up for your family, the neighbours, etc. I've used it to grind coffee and chocolate beans, and both work well. If it's not reasonably filled, it tends to just mush a bit of the stuff, but shaking and whacking it seem to work well for mixing the particles through the blades. Freshly ground coffee tastes much better to me - fresher and warmer tasting, somehow. The biggest downside is the poor grind control, sometimes I accidentally make espresso type powder instead of filter, but mostly I can time it about right now. With the cost difference, this is more than acceptable trade-off for our use.

I am a coffee enthusiast. I go through at least 2 bags of beans a month. I ground beans at least twice a day, sometimes more. This machine is quick, slightly loud, but a great little grinder. Its sturdy and fits in well in my kitchen. It's slightly difficult to clean, the blades don't seem to come out, and if they do, I haven't seen the rosetta stone that tells me how. Other than that, it's a strong, sturdy design that will do as intended without the fear of overheating or less than satisfactory perfomance. If you want the affordability of a hand grinder but for a cheaper price than the competitors, then get this. It's not super complicated and I don't need a computer to decide how fine I want my grounds, that's something you can easily see through the transparent top.

At the end of the day this is a coffee grinder. You put coffee beans in, close the lid, plug it in and push the button down and it grinds your coffee. It grinds it fast (I normally give it 10-20 seconds), has a very large capacity to grind lots at once (a normal bag of coffee beans would take 4 goes) and feels well built and safe (It doesn't start until the lid is firmly in place). It has nice minimal looks that would fit into any kitchen. The resulting coffee tastes great. Recommended if you need a coffee grinder.

I bought this for my brother as a christmas gift, he uses an aeropress every morning to make coffee for himself and regularly uses a caffetiere to brew a pot in the day so I thought it would be good. I personally have a delonghi kg79 grinder which I uses every few days which has been brilliant. I chose this instead partly for cost but also because I felt it would be useful for things like herbs.spices which since my brother cooks a lot, I thought would be better. On the coffee side which it's designed for it creates a fine grind, good enough for an espresso press/machine but it's a bit fine a grind for use in filter machines unfortunately. The design is sleek and very simple to use, the lid comes off, coffee beans go in and the lid goes back on, a bottom on the lid is pressed to grind and it's held until done. Another downside is getting the coffee back out, as it's not a removable inner, a lot of time is spent scraping round the edges with a spoon which will probably get tiresome. My brother says he's happy with it, but as it was a present that may have been courtesy, for me it does an ok job at best, for someone wanting a grinder for different types of coffee maker, look elsewhere.

I am very pleased with this little machine. It rapidly creates a fine, even grind, perfect for my Melita filter coffee maker. The security top is the right size to hold all the ground coffee, even when you start with the base full of beans. Thus after grinding I can turn it over, tap tap tap to release all the grounds, carefully separate the top (now serving as a cup) and tip the grounds directly into the filter, without having to unplug and carry the base around.Great little machine. It follows the design of the Krupps grinder that I had and used for 20 years. I hope this one lasts as long.
