Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
The Krups twin blade coffee mill has two stainless steel blades which whirl and chop the coffee beans. The versatile unit can also be used to grind all types of dry spices.
The 180w grinder has a large grinding capacity, yielding up to 15 cups of coffee / 85g of coffee beans.
It also features a lid-activated safety switch – the grinder won't work until the lid is locked in place.
If roasting coffee beans is an art, then turning them into perfect ground coffee is a science.
If the grind is too coarse, the coffee will brew too slowly, and the flavours will not fully develop. If it's too fine, the coffee will lack aroma and tend towards bitterness. Too much grinding is as bad as too little, for perfect coffee only 'just right' will do.
Different coffee machines work best with different grind sizes, so what works well in a cafetiere will produce dreadful coffee in an espresso machine.
Coffee can be ground with either a blade (chopped) or a burr (crushed). Blade grinders chop and re-chop each bean turning them into thousands of coffee fragments. The longer you chop the finer the blend becomes.

Customer Reviews

Gosh! How quickly do you want to grind coffee beans? This little gizzmo whizzes up coarse in 8 seconds, medium in 12 ; fine in 16 seconds. The only thing is that you, as the operator, have to judge how long to hold down the press-button switch but once you've mastered that plus watching progress through the transparent cover, it literally only takes seconds to produce enough grounds for "10" cups as marked on my drip coffee maker or, if you like to drink from big mugs like me, enough for 4 mugs.
Suggest new users first count to 10 before letting go of the button and then vary their count according to taste.
Would be 5 stars but the simple push-button switch is not idiot proof. Nevertheless, great value!

I really hope Krups continue this model for a very long time. Its perfect for every day use. We use it to grind 2 cups of coffee 2 x a day. It does it perfectly each time, going all the way to a fine grind. Emptying the result into the machine is simply a matter of shaking and taking off the lid.
Without a doubt the best grinder I've seen.
Krups - keep it going!
