Hamilton Beach Fresh Grind Electric Coffee Grinder for Beans, Spices and More, Stainless Steel Blades, Removable Chamber, Makes up to 12 Cups, White

I've been using this coffee grinder for a few months and am very pleased with it. It is far quieter than my old Krups grinder, and the design is well thought-out. The cord is quite short, but that hasn't been a problem for me. It is great being able to store the cord and also remove the grinding cup for cleaning. It quickly grinds my coffee to my satisfaction.

After three years of use, I'm finally writing a review.This is a very simple coffee grinder. It spins at one speed setting, so if you want a course grind, then don't grind longer than 15 seconds. The longer you grind, the finer it gets.There are two removable parts: 1) the cap/cup (top), and 2) the cup/blade (bottom). This makes cleaning very easy.Here's how you use the grinder. 1) Plug in the electrical cord. 2) Fill the cup/blade with coffee beans. 3) Place the cap/cup onto the cup/blade. 4) Press the button for at least 15 seconds. 5) Unplug machine by gripping the plug. 6) Turn machine upside down so the coffee grinds fall into the cap/cup. 7) Remove the machine from the cap/cup. 8) Pour out grinds from cap/cup.I go through these steps because of some of the reviews. Some people say that they make a mess when they remove the cup/blade. I understand why. The cup/blade has fill lines. This implies that the cup/blade is intended to be removed during operations to remove the finished grinds. But no, do not remove the cup/blade with grinds in the cup/blade. Turn the machine upside down so that the grinds fall into the cap/cup. This is because the cap/cup removes easily, and the cup/blade does not remove easily. You will make a mess struggling with the cup/blade while it is full of grinds.Another review said the cord get damaged at the base when unplugging. This is an example of the need for detailed instructions. What is obvious to some is not always so. When you unplug, grip the plug and pull. Do not only hold the machine and yank the cord out of the electrical outlet. You will damage the connection between the cord and the machine.This coffee grinder is very simple, with a good design, well built and reasonably priced. Qualities that you want in any tool.

I’ve been using the Hamilton Beach Fresh Grind Electric Grinder daily for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed by how much value this compact appliance adds to my kitchen. Whether I’m grinding coffee beans for my morning brew or spices for cooking, this grinder delivers consistent, reliable results every time.What I love:• Quiet Operation: One of the standout features is how surprisingly quiet this grinder is compared to others I’ve owned. I can grind beans early in the morning without waking anyone up—a huge win.• Compact Design: It doesn’t take up much counter space, and the cord wraps around the base for easy storage. It’s also light enough to tuck away in a cabinet when not in use.• Stainless Steel Blades & Chamber: The grinding chamber is made of stainless steel and is super easy to clean. It also doesn’t hold onto smells or residue after grinding strong spices like cardamom or cloves.• Simple One-Touch Control: There’s no learning curve—it’s intuitive and straightforward. Just press down, and you’re grinding. Hold longer for a finer grind.• Versatility: While it’s marketed as a coffee grinder, I’ve used it successfully for seeds, spices, and even small nuts. Great for prepping fresh ingredients in seconds.Overall, this is an incredibly useful little gadget that punches above its weight. It’s affordable, efficient, and performs reliably every day. I highly recommend it to anyone who values fresh-ground flavor and convenience in the kitchen.

Overall, this was a decent product, lasted me nearly 5 years. Handles coffee prettt well. Broke trying to grind some whole spices. Not bad for the price.

Grind speed is good, it's powerful. You do have to pulse it a few times to get all the beans grounded. Design is nice and easy to clean. Sturdiness is good. Fits good in cabinets not bulky. No weird burning smell, but it's one the louder side. Every one knows it's coffee time..LOL I really don't have any complaints, good buy for the price honestly.
