Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Coffee Grinder with 18 Custom Grinders Silver

I've been using my new grinder for 2 days now and I am very pleased with it. It is easy to use, looks good on the counter top, grinds fast and my coffee tastes great. I'm glad I chose this one instead of one of the more expensive ones with good reviews, this one has all the functionality that I need to make delicious coffee. I use it to grind coffee beans for espresso and french press, also for a drip machine (which I gladly tossed in the bin after getting a french press.) **** UPDATE March 10th, 2012**** I've had this grinder now for about 7 months, and still going strong! Yes, it sometimes gets coffee grounds on the counter when scooping it out but I've never seen a grinder that doesn't do that. However, I have regularly two problems with this grinder: 1. Sometimes the beans don't go through properly while grinding or get stuck, so I tend to shake it and hit the bottom gently against the counter top to get them to go on through. This is not a huge deal. Happened with my last grinder as well. 2. It likes to get clogged. The opening where the grounds come out often just plugs up completely. This happens on a regular basis (every 6-10 weeks or so maybe), especially when I grind a lot of oily dark roasted beans. To solve the problem I unplug it, remove the beans, canister, and other parts. I take something to loosen the coffee grounds that are plugging up the hole. It'll work again after that, but to really get the job done I also make sure that the grinder elements are clear, and run some rice through the grinder a couple of times. The rice picks up a lot of those oils and residue that builds up on the inside of the machine. When I've done that it works like new again. I will stick for now with my 5 star rating. We use our grinder twice every day and it is still working fine. For the really low price of this grinder I can't complain. **** UPDATE January, 2015**** Still works! :-)

So far, this little device has made me happy. About a year ago, I began to give up on pre-ground coffee, such as the canned stuff and k-cups for our Keurig machine. Now, don't get me wrong...the laziness inside of me - from time to time - prefers to drag myself from my slumber down to my kitchen and drop a k-cup in the machine with pretty blue lights and produce a mediocre cup of coffee. But, I picked up a French press on Amazon and a hand grinder (German-made, apparently high quality...should be for the money); and I found myself in heaven. But, that also became a pain: boiling water, pouring it into the press; pressing; cleaning the press; eh...not fun. Then came the big, bright idea - why not just buy an electric grinder? Now, I may not have the palate that some seem to claim on here (many of which probably can't tell the difference between a cheap cup and one that's not), but I know what tastes good and bad and what amount of coffee and water works well to produce a cup that I do like. With that said, I've found this (quite small) contraption both easy-to-use and producing of decent grinds. I haven't fumbled through all of the settings; but I'm already quite pleased for the quality of grinds for drip and French press coffee. I'm yet to try this for finer grinds...for say, a latte or cappuccino, so I'll have to come back and update you at that time. However, in the meantime, it's really quite hard to give this anything other than an acceptable rating; and for what it's produced so far, I'll give it five stars. By the way, it also has those really spiffy blue lights, and it's quite easy to clean, load and manipulate the settings. And, I really like the little brush that rests on top of the grind bin - that little guy works surprisingly well! Oh, and as you'll notice in one of my photos, it's so fast and easy that I just use a refillable k-cup now...my k-cup holder is awfully naked... More review to come...but hope this helps in the meantime! UPDATE: May 19, 2016: I've had this for a while now, and let me tell you, it's gotten a pretty good workout. I've had no issues with the machine; it grinds, grinds, and grinds. Coffee comes out pretty consistent, and yes some of the grounds can vary ever so slightly, but I don't believe that you're going to find a grinder that's going to produce PERFECT, consistent grinds all the time, especially at this price. Still satisfied, and highly recommend.

Bought this Mr. Coffee BVMC-BMH23 Automatic Burr Mill Grinder, as an addition to my arsenal of utensils to use during my quest to make the perfect at-home cup of coffee. The product description and reviews lead me to think that maybe it is possible to get, just a little bit closer to that perfect cup of joe, made at home. The product comes very well packed, and it's a must that you follow directions and wash out the plastic components of the product to rid it of any spray, or other by product left during manufacture or packaging. I also wiped out very carefully the main component that actually does the grinding. So insert the coffee grounds catcher(bottom), and the coffee bean hopper (top) and you are good to go, well almost. Make sure the coffee bean hopper is twisted all the way on (see directions) twist until it completely stops. Then back off for adjustment for your selected coffee ground size. When product is plugged in, a bright blue light shines(not glows) next to the cup adjustment dial. Two ways to turn it off when not in use. 1.) unplug the coffee grinder. DOH!, 2.) slightly pull-out the coffee grounds catcher, thus no light, then no go, so you can't forget to reinsert it. As far as the Grinding process, it works great if you are looking to grind beans for few/couple days worth of ground coffee. Not a one cup grinder / wonder. For one cup I think you will still need a blade type/spice grinder. The Product works as described, good price compared to most mortar retail outlets. The grounds are evenly ground for the selected setting I choose. What more can you ask for. No it does not brew coffee! So have I found the perfect cup of homebrewed joe. Well, like Don Quixote, I set out in the early morning and end up at an Coffee shop, that I believe to be a castle. I ask the coffee shop attendant, whom I thinks to be the lord of the castle, to dub me a knight. Then, I am off to attack(not literally) large coffeegrindmills that I believe to be ferocious giants. All in the hopes to find a way to bring that process or tool home that will make that perfect cup of coffee. I like coffee, the aroma, the flavor, the taste. Please don't get in between me an a great cup of freshly brewed coffee, it ain't pretty.

I've been a whole-bean coffee drinker for 20 years now. I had a pair of Mr. Coffee products – a thermal drip coffee maker and a bean grinder. They both lasted over 10 years and performed their tasks admirably. Like a lifelong couple, once one died, the other followed in short order. So a couple months ago I had to purchase a new coffee maker and grinder. Going back to a Mr. Coffee product was a simple call for me. I spent under $100 ten years ago for two appliances I used daily. Need I say more? So the grinder ($30.99 when I purchased) — Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Grinder with 18 Custom Grinds, Silver, BMH23-RB-1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004T6EJS0/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0 The only grinder I have owned was the type you throw in the beans and press the lid down to grind. This wonderful beast is much more sophisticated. Once you fine-tune the grind to your taste (and this could take four to six pots — and is the most crucial step) all you have to do is pour your can of coffee beans into the top container (it holds a standard 12 oz. can) and press one button. Wala! You have the makings of a good pot of coffee. The knocks: I add this part because of the other reviews you read. It’s loud as hell! But after a bit of adjustment, it now sounds like morning to me. And you need to be patient. I usually fill the coffee maker with water, pour out the pots remanence, and ready the new filter before it finishes grinding. But in the end, worth it. All and all. For the price, can’t do better. All thumbs up. The Coffee Maker ($53.37 when I purchased) — Mr. Coffee Optimal Brew 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker System https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037ZG3DS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Could. Not. Be. More. Happy. This machine produces the hottest coffee of any brewer I’ve ever tried. And its thermo pot holds the heat for hours. I’ve had steam come off when I poured a cup late in the evening from the morning brew. But what’s best is this dude is fast — something like four minutes brew time. What? For me, coffee is best served hot. This is hands-down, the best at delivering hot, well brewed, pot of coffee on the market. And from my past experience with this company, if this brewer last as long as the last (10 years), it machine will cost me less than 2 pennies a day. I’m way good with that. The knocks: In the reviews, I read that some knocked the beep when the coffee is done. What? It has a “your awesome pot of coffee is ready” kind of vibe. Loud enough. Not too long. Those posters seem silly.

My 1st one lasted over 20 years but was not used regularly. It works so well that I decided to get another one. I have been using this 2nd one daily for 3 years. I really like the fact that I can easily change the fineness of the grind between espresso, drip, or for my italian stovetop percolator.

This is a cheap Burr grinder, and it has produced consistent grinds for me, even fine enough for espresso occasionally in a stovetop espresso maker. Unlike other people, I have had no particular issues with static cling, and humidity is rarely over 40% here. Like all grinders, I give it a few firm taps to knock the grounds loose. I think that oil in the beans makes the finer particles stick to the plastic. Two things are bothering me about it, otherwise I would give it 4 or more stars. 1) The hopper is about 4 times the size of the receiver. If I fill the hopper, it makes about 4 and a half of the receiving containers worth of coffee. This is rather annoying, and makes it a hassle to grind my week's worth of beans. The auto-shutoff is kind of odd. I've found that if I set it to 12 and run it twice, it fills the grounds container without overfilling it. 2) More importantly, It's either dirty, defective, or just so badly designed that it's dying after only grinding about 6 lbs of coffee over a period of about 2 months. I received this in early April and now that it's mid-June, it acts like the motor is overheating and shutting off to prevent damage, or maybe like the timer is malfunctioning. I've been grinding everything on 1 click finer than drip, hardly fine enough to make it plugging up make sense. I've emailed customer service, so we'll see what they say. Amazon says it's out of its return period. I have no problem disassembling it, but it really should not need it. **Update**: Mr. Coffee customer service was excellent. They sent me a replacement within a day or so of chatting (Took a couple weeks to show up, as expected) The new one had a common problem that other review mention - the grinds are all too large. Espresso is about what you'd want for French Press and French Press is about what you'd get smashing beans in a plastic bag with a rolling pin. No big deal, I fiddled with it because I was not about to wait another 4 weeks for a replacement. It was grinding beautifully and consistently... Until it died 4 weeks later. Seriously, I only got about 5 or 6 lbs of coffee through it. I took it apart and checked it out - the motor is not the problem, but the control circuit has some problem. And I'm not an electrical engineer, but I've had enough. One of these days, I'll just buy an industrial grinder like they have in grocery stores.

I am a STARBUCKS FRENCH ROAST imprinted duckling. Nothing else tastes right. Also, I grind the French Roast as finely as possible. I have two of these burr grinders and have been having problems with the grinders making sick internally unhappy grinding noises. I didn't call Amazon and ask for a return though, because it is just so weird that a brand new (3 month old) grinder would not work in this world of instant-on-high-quality-manufacturing. So, I've tinkered, and thought, and listened and observed. The key clue was this morning when my more reliable burr grinder made the unhappy grinding noises, and when I looked I saw ZERO coffee grinds in the output bin. *CLUE* When I looked at the little opening between the grinder an the output bin, it was jammed. Clearing the opening with a jeweler's screwdriver fixed the problem. Bam! I'm back in the game! I rate this grinder a very solid 3 starts. I take one star off because the testing Mr Coffee did missed the jam problem on finely ground French Roast, so I get to manually make a mess of my school and home offices every time the grinder jams. And, I take another star off because the grinder's industrial design is perfunctory. What I mean by this is that: * the grinder while grinding is UNBELIEVABLY LOUD. It is push the button, close the door, and wait until the shrieking of the beans is over. There HAS TO BE A WAY to improve the sound properties of this grinder. My 10 year old Starbucks burr grinder was about 1/2 as loud as this Mr Coffee model. * French roast coffee is renowned for having the highest static electricity generated per bean ground. I just made that up, but it *seems* like this is true. Just pulling the output bin out of the grinder gets a finely sprayed dusting of grounds over whatever surface is around. If you tap the output bin to get the grounds to drop to the bottom, you get another out-flux of tiny grinds all over the place. My wife has banished my Mr Coffee grinder from the kitchen because of the powdery mess it makes. I tried to sell her on the idea of putting one of those chemistry laminar flow booths in the kitchen to suck away the mess, but she'd rather have vaulted ceilings for some reason. :-) So what? Well, THERE HAS TO BE A WAY to reduce the static electricity of the grinds. How about we ground the grinding mechanism as a starting point? Oops, the Mr. Coffee grindere does not plug in to ground. Sigh. This is a case for some DESIGN THINKING to push the static and sound barriers. Go from perfunctory industrial design to a competitively advantaged deep, indulgent, complete, and elegant design, to use Guy Kawasaki's great product criteria. Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate that the Mr. Coffee is only $30 (my old Starbucks grinder was $100). But ... buying this and having to live with the noise and mess and jamming, makes me feel like I bought a refurbished Apple product. It is a good value. But, it isn't as much fun as buying the latest model with the latest panacea plus Steve Jobs pixie dust that isn't available anywhere else. Hope this helps! bill meade

So far so good after about a month of use!!! I actually really love this grinder and if it holds out for a few years, I will be very happy. I was surprised to find that I actually like it even better than my old Cuisinart, which was similar in design. Husband and I aren't exactly coffee connoisseurs, we don't do espresso and we only need it for drip, but we do love to buy the whole beans and grind at home. So I wouldn't really know if it grinds fine enough or just perfect for people who are coffee perfectionists! However, this grinder does a better job than my old Cuisinart. It used to leave a few big chunks of beans, this one grinds perfectly, at least perfectly enough for me. I guess I really don't care about what others are freaking out about if there is a little fine powder mixed in with course grounds. (So what?) My old Cuisinart cost about $15 more than this one and broke after just over a year. If this one works for at least a few years I will be thrilled. This grinder is extremely easy to use & I have zero mess.....which I really love! (Old Cuisinart used to spill some grounds behind the cup and had a little mess & spillage.) I love the little scoop that attaches to the lid of the cup. I don't use it often since I grind exactly what I need, but love that when I do need it it's right there attached and I don't have to remember I have it and search for it in a drawer. We don't make a full pot every day so the hopper holds enough beans for just over a week for us, which is really nice. Fill it up once and have one touch grinding all week. My husband likes the little blue light! haha.......the dial and light make it super fast and simple to change the amount you want to grind. We make bigger pots on the weekends. I love the one touch, no mess of this grinder. It looks nice on the counter and because there's no mess it stays looking neat and clean all week. Another thing I love is that the hopper screws out to clean. (A feature my Cuisinart didn't have so I could never really be sure it was clean down in the gears.) So quite a few reviewers are freaking out about the huge mess this makes all over their kitchen.....powder spewing...onto floors......?? I have no idea what they are doing or what they are talking about. I have a habit of taking out the bin with the grounds and lightly tapping it a couple of times on the counter to settle them. They pour out easily and no mess. As far as cleaning it, I just literally wash it once a week or so. How much mess can you possibly make by taking it to the sink and washing it? One small thing I did notice once when I did use the scoop. I ground enough for 8 cups, but when I used the scoop there were 10 scoops of grounds. It might be grinding a tad more than it's set for? That's ok...coffee is good, not too strong and I can always dial it down if I wanted. I looked and looked and looked at grinders. I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. I was frustrated that all of these grinders had bad reviews, but there was no way I was going to pay $80 - $200 for a grinder. Love this grinder and the price was perfect. ($36) So if it doesn't break on me I'll be taking another look at Mr. Coffee products next time I need anything coffee related.
