 Works great! November 26, 2008
This ginder is great! It has custom grinder settings for the type of maker you are using. I bought it with the Hamilton Beach One cup Coffee maker and I love them both!
 great while it lasted... October 27, 2008
This coffee grinder made great coffee...for a while. After two years, it started acting up and now does not work at all. Quite a shock the day I went to make my coffee and couldn't! Ended up using my food processor for my beans that day...yech.
 Ultimately disappointed October 7, 2008

Let me start off by saying that I worked for very large coffee retailer (you can probably guess whom)for MANY years, and have had extensive training in the coffee making process -- from growing, harvesting, drying and roasting to grinding and brewing, so maybe my review is a bit harsh.
Anyway, I purchased this product in a moment of desperation because I wanted an inexpensive grinder to make my coffee in the morning while I save enough money to buy a nicer espresso machine. I have a French press and use (well, USED) the grinder on a daily basis. I didn't spend much on it, so I didn't expect peak performance; and at first, it got the job done. My major complaint was, as other reviewers said, it doesn't grind evenly. Even on the most coarse setting, you will wind up with some large chunks, some the appropriate size, and some fine dust. It doesn't matter if you fill it and grind 12 cups at a time, or grind it little by little, or what setting it's on.
Now, I haven't had the blasted thing but four months, and it's already out of commission. The blades are have dulled considerable and yesterday it died completely -- won't even turn on. My recommendation? Don't waste your money on this plastic piece of junk, no matter how dire your need for a grinder. I wouldn't buy this again. In fact, based on this experience, I'm not sure I would buy ANY other Hamilton Beach product. If you love coffee enough to take the time to grind and brew your own, you obviously prefer a superior coffee experience, and to brew the best cup, you need grounds of a consistent size. You also need a grinder that works. Which isn't this one. Spend a little extra and get a burr grinder.
Stopped Working Within 2 months September 13, 2008

It worked fine the first month I had it.
But then the locking mechanism started acting faulty. I would have to twist the lid on and off and on and off because no matter what, the thing would somehow not latch properly. Usually after working with it for a few minutes I could get it to latch properly and then away it would grind.
But it just kept getting worse and worse until no matter how hard I tried, or how careful I was to turn the lid all the way, and no matter how certain I was that the lid had latched properly, it wouldn't work.
So now it's in the trash where it belongs.
What a waste of money. Gosh, I guess it's unreasonable for me to expect that it would last a year... maybe even two years. Or *gasp* maybe even 10+ years which is how long electronics would last back in the days they were made well.
 great coffee grinder August 27, 2008
Hands free operation works really well and removable grind container a plus. Overall sturdy feel and works well. Good controls. Sturdy plastic top an important point, because other brands have worn out quickly on me. Top engages easily and securely, too. Maybe best I have used at any price.
Purchased at [...] and shipped to me as the store only stocks more expensive, but in my view, less useful grinders.
