Lasted 1.5 yrs of rough use & worked great till I kÂ¡lled it
So I loved this grinder. Previous Iâd gotten a grinder almost twice as expensive that looked cool but drove me crazy. It had a cup you had to remove that was sharp and it was loud and didnât grind well. So when I got this grinder I was very happy with it. It doesnât look like much but itâs a relatively quiet grinder that will turn your beans to dust in less then 30secs. I like a super fine grind for my pour over coffee and I hate spending a ton of time grinding my beans. So I was very pleased with this purchase.
There are a couple of cons: first the cord. It twists up and thereâs nowhere to put it so you just have to deal with the spiraling of the cord. Every so often Iâd try and untwist it with mediocre results. The 2nd con and prob what led to this grinder death, itâs kinda a btch to get the finely ground coffee out of the cup. If you use your fingers you get coffee grinds all up in your nails and itâs super hard to get out. If you like a coarser grind it shouldnât be an issue. So bc Iâm impatient and not wanting coffe grinds stuck under my nails all day, Iâd bang on it when I was dumping it to try and get the coffee out. I now know there are little brushes you can get for that (but knowing me Iâll totally loose it). This just seems to be one of the overall cons for this type of grinder. There are pros and cons to the ones with removable cups too. One theyâre pricer and Iâve had a couple that just didnât seem to be as powerful. The upside of this grinder is the price, the speed and power. If they could make a retractable cord or a thing on the bottom where you could wrap extra cord up, it would make this grinder even better. I was actually going to reorder this grinder bc like I said the flaws are just the crap you deal with at this price point and this type of grinder; But I need a grinder ASAP and this one wonât come for a few days so I ordered a similar one with one same day shipping. I actually recommend this grinder, just watch the twisting cord and get one of those brushes if you do a fine grind. I think if you donât smack it the way I did itâll last a lot longer. Also the steel blades seem just as sharp as when I got them so def props for that.
Edit: so I bought a different grinder bc I needed it ASAP bc I canât live without my am and afternoon coffee. While I like the looks and weight of the new grinder (I bought it bc it had same day shipping, not for looks) Iâm even more impressed with Mueller grinder after using it. It takes twice as long and is messier. I will def be re-ordering the Mueller grinder again bc I miss it already. Iâll have to wait a couple of weeks bc Iâm broke, but I will def be Re-ordering. Iâll also try and be more careful with it. No banging in on the counter and smacking the side to get the coffee out. Since the other grinder came with one of those brush thingies, Iâll do my best not to loose it and use it with my Mueller grinder. Itâs amazing how this relatively cheap, light weight grinder has beat out every other grinder Iâve tried in the last five years. Itâs def the power and speed. Watching the new grinder grind I could see how much slower the blades rotate. It takes twice as long and while grinding I have to tap the grinder to get the bigger pieces to mix with the finer pieces in order to get a uniform final grind. So I def rec the Murller grinder!

Works Well For Unconventional Use!
I feed my ferrets 3 different foods, two of which are kibble, and need a grinder that will grind the kibble down to a powder for me to make their soupies out of. This grinder works great as long as I take its limitations into consideration and not work it to the point it overheats. I put a small amount of mixed kibble in it, pulse mix it a few times, then finish it into a powder by holding the button down for a few seconds. It is hard to find grinders that will powder your pets kibble without heating the food and spoiling it, so I was happy to find this grinder. Because I only do small batches and take precautionary measures to ensure it doesn’t overheat, this grinder has performed well, is very easy to use, easy to wipe clean, and a great value and time saver for me.

Great little grinder
I have used this grinder everyday for the past 3 years and it still works great. Grinds up to 12 servings. Itâs small and easy to store. Highly recommend!!!

Works well.
The canister can hold about two scoops of coffee beans. Itâs easy to use and grinds them up pretty well.

Great grind in minimal time
This unit is surprisingly quiet for a grinder and gets the job done quickly. Unit feels very sturdy and well made, especially for this price point. Very impressed with this little unit.

YOU NEED THIS GRINDER IF YOU HATE USING A MORTAR AND PESTLE FOR BULK SPICES
I like to buy my spices in bulk, roast ’em, and then grind everything using a mortar and pestle. I read that using a mortar and pestle is better because it doesn’t incinerate the spices to tiny little atoms. Also, mortar and pestle grounded spices supposedly tastes better? I guess it’s because if any blood, sweat, and tears were involved, it automatically tastes better.
ANYHOW, I, too, thought I was too good for using an electronic grinder… Until I decided that making little spice jar sets was a “great idea” for Christmas presents for my friends and family. After grinding 1 batch of spices (enough for 2 jars), I realized I was wayyy over my head. Grinding all the spices by mortar and pestle would’ve taken me at least 6 hours for only 12 jars (I needed 40) and my arms would’ve fallen off by hour 3.
That’s when I decided enough was enough and I bought this magical spice grinder on a whim. THIS THING IS AMAZING. It literally finishes grinding the spices to the exact consistency that I want it within 8 seconds, saving me time and my arms.
I love how easy it is to use and clean. I don’t wash or rinse it since I’ve read somewhere that water can destroy electric clippers and I felt that the same logic could be applied here. Instead of washing or rinsing it, I use an old, large, fluffy makeup brush I don’t use anymore to brush away the remaining spices in the cup and around the blade. The lid/cup/cap thing does need to washed with soap and water though because the spices can stick onto the lid.
Since I use a makeup brush to clean the blade, I use a thick rubber band to keep the brush and the grinder together so that I have both whenever I need to use it. (Just wrap the band around the grinder and stick the brush inside of the band)
Other than that, I highly recommend this grinder if you’re a spicy person and love making your own bulk spice mixes.

Really Good
Love this little thing. Apart from the sound of the beans being split the grinder itself is quiet.

Works well
I bought this to grind spices and grains. The included instructions say only use it for coffee, but so far it has worked well for grinding other small hard stuff. I have not used it all that much yet, but it does seem to work well and grinds quickly. It was also inexpensive (less than $10), which was a good value.
The only down side is the cup is not removeable, so that part is a little hard to clean. The plastic cover can be removed and washed though.
