Title: Effective, easy to use, easy to clean, good price
Review: Got this today and already used it. Very effective, finely grinds beans within 15 seconds tops. It’s definitely a little messy when you take the lid off, but that’s most bean grinders. Easy to clean after use. Can’t be the price either.

Title: Gets the job done effortlessly
Review: After my previous grinder died after 15 years of use, I was looking for a basic grinder to replace it. If you don’t need all the extra bells and whistles, just a basic coffee grinder that gets the job done, I recommend this one. It has worked effortlessly, grinds coffee beans quickly, average sound level, consistent, and is easy to clean.

Title: Great price for under $20, however…
Review: This coffee bean grinder worked flawlessly when I purchased it in Oct 2024. Never had an issue. Suddenly today, literally 5 min ago, out of nowhere it simply stopped working. It’s a steal for under $20 bucks, but I suppose that’s why it’s so cheap to buy. May not last long. Bummed.

Title: Works great for grinding flax seeds
Review: I purchased this little grinder to try it out for freshly grinding flax seeds. I wanted to try Budwig and read that ground flax seeds start to become rancid 20 minutes after grinding. I wasn’t sure if the taste of the oil and ground seeds would be something I would be willing to do for the long haul, so I opted for this inexpensive grinder.This little grinder is intuitive and easy to operate. Take off the clear top, add the seeds, pop the top on, careful to align the button on the lid with the base, press the lid/button and it takes off! Within a very few seconds I have finely ground flax.I was pleased that the noise level wasn’t bad at all and was actually much less than I expected. However, coffee beans may be louder to grind. The actual sound of the machine is a light whirring sound.Capacity is very adequate for my needs. I only grind 1 to 2 tablespoons of flax seeds at a time. The grinding does make them fluffy and take up more space, but I still have plenty of room. The idea is to only grind only as much as is immediately needed anyway, so that it is as fresh as possible.I’m a newbie with a grinder so I’m not sure how much cleaning should be done. The only action I’ve taken toward semi cleaning it is to wipe it out a little with a paper towel. I don’t see where the base comes apart for cleaning the blade and little bowl inside, but I think these are meant to be dedicated pretty much to grinding one thing anyway, and wiping out the residue with a paper towel was effective.This definitely met my needs and I would recommend this to others.

Title: Great deal for price
Review: Works great, especially for the price! I’ve found 12 seconds is the perfect amount of time to grind a full amount of coffee beans for my drip machine. Not quiet but not obnoxiously loud either. A great deal if you want to get into grinding your own beans.

Title: Brew-tifully Simple: A Coffee Grinder Delivers with a Minor Hitch
Review: If you’re in the market for a reliable coffee grinder that doesn’t break the bank, this Electric Coffee Grinder should be at the top of your list. This grinder shines in several categories such as grindability, size, noise level, and overall quality. With its sleek design and user-friendly operation, it’s hard not to love the way it transforms whole beans into fresh grounds.One of the standout features of this grinder is its grindability. Whether you’re preparing a fine brew for espresso or a coarser grind for a French press, this machine handles it all with finesse. The size is also worth noting; the compact design allows it to fit easily on your countertop without taking up too much space.When it comes to noise, the Amazon Basics grinder remains surprisingly quiet. If you’re an early riser or someone who prefers to indulge in their caffeine fix without waking up the whole household, this grinder operates at a pleasantly low volume.However, there’s a small drawback that keeps this product from achieving a full five stars in my book: the cord storage. While it does have a compartment for stowing the cord, I personally prefer the ones that offer a quick and easy retractable feature, allowing you to wind it up with a simple turn of a knob. It’s a minor inconvenience, but for those who prioritize a neatly arranged countertop, it can be a bit irksome.Overall, the Amazon Basics Electric Coffee Grinder is a fantastic choice for coffee enthusiasts who value quality and affordability. Despite the cord storage quibble, it checks all the boxes for an excellent grinding experience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to elevate their coffee game—just don’t forget to mind the cord!

Title: Very convenient for a small or large amount.
Review: Easier to use and clean than my previous grinder. The on button is a better, sturdier design and it’s all in one style means less to clean (or break). I can freshly grind for each serving.

Title: Basic but gets job done
Review: I got this as a first time grinder for myself. It works very well, does what it needs to. However, I do wish you could control the speed & the grind level. With this particular one, you just have to count how long you’re grinding for. Shorter time equals coarse. Longer equals more fine. I do wish there was a setting instead. It’s super easy to clean. I’ve used it lots & haven’t noticed any power being lost. It is a little loud, but it is like a mini blender so that’s expected.

Review: I’ve had other coffee grinders in the past. None were as quiet and effective as this one, although this one has the smallest container I’ve ever seen on a coffee grinder. Like you can make one pot of coffee with the contents, a small pot like 6-8 cups max. Probably not enough to fill up for a full 12 cup capacity.However all that capacity thing is irrelevant to me as I have been using it with a reusable Keurig K-Cup universal coffee filter which is good for one single cup. Given that size limitation for me, I grind what I need for the next 2-3 days and then grind again. Keeps the ground coffee fresh as well.I like it.Did I mention how quiet it is?Instructions as usual with Amazon Basics items, are poorly written and unclear, is it waterproof for cleaning or not? Nobody knows…

Review: Preso durante sconti Black Friday, ottimo prezzo e ottima prestazione. Piccolino ma giusto. L’ho preso per macinare la noce che per ridurla in farina non è facile perché la noce essendo unta tende a diventar pastosa. Ci sono macchine a posta ma costano troppo. Questo macchinino fa ottimo lavoro. Bisogna spezzare le mezze noci in almeno i quarti o anche più piccole aiutandosi con coltello come si fa con aglio o picchiarli in un sacchetto con mattarello. Se la noce è già spezzettata ancora meglio. Maccinare le noci congelate in frizzer per evitare che si forma burro cioè farina impastata. 250 grammi peso necessario per dolce che voglio preparare si macina veloce, ovviamente in dosi suddivise di cca 40/50 grami a volta. Mulinello non si può lavare, non si può scomporre ma non è necessario, basta una passata con carta morbida da cucina. Così farò anche con le mandorle non pelate. Le nocciole si comprano già maccinate in farina ma le noci no. Anche farina di mandorle pelate si trova in farina ma li vorrei intere con la pelle perché maggior parte di vitamine è proprietà nutrizionali si trova proprio nella buccia cioè pellicina marrone che contibuisce anche al sapore di mandorle. Ho preso questo mulinello elettrico prevalentemente per le noci che visto periodo Natalizio in arrivo ne farò tanti biscotti tradizionali appunto con farina di noce che non esiste nel commercio. Mia nonna usava mulinello manuale che si fissa al tavolo ma costa molto di più anche quello. Per prezzo pagato in offerta questo mulinello elettrico è un affare. Conveniente è mi facilità preparazione delle farine anche di sesamo e semi di lino. Possono rimanere tracce per esempio di noci nella prima maccinatura di semi di lino o viceversa ma minime è non rovinano ne utilità ne sapore.
