Powerful - Definitely not cheaply made
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Right out of the box it feels surprisingly sturdy and a good weight, much larger than I expected. Definitely not cheaply made.One of the most surprising new feature is the suction cup feet, you don’t have to babysit it while its running. This one is not going to walk it’s self off the counter while it grinds.I put 4oz of fresh espresso coffee beans, not wanting to bog down the grinder by putting too much in. I needn’t worry about that. 20 seconds and perfect regular grind coffee.For espresso finely grinding beans is key and you don’t want a machine that heats up as it grinds because that can degrade the flavor of your coffee. For espresso I waited a few seconds and give it another 20 seconds. It ground the contents evenly and thoroughly. (And quietly! Even my husband mentioned how quiet it was)It did not get warm when running, as I said a very important factor for the flavor integrity of any thing you want to grind.

Best coffee grinder I've ever owned
I use coffee grinders to grind herbs and spices for cooking so I can't attest to the grind specifically of coffee beans, but I can tell you about the power and performance of this unit. I've gone through a half dozen different grinders over the years and put them all in an early grave.At 300 watts this is one of the most powerful grinders on the market! I love that it has a wheel to initiate pulse, low, or high speed. Most coffee grinders have a depression button on the lid you have to keep pressed down. This one the lid locks, which is great, and you can power it on.Two of the best features are that the 4 blades cause all the grinding material to fall back into the center with a very efficient vortex rather than just shooting the material up towards the lid without grinding it. Also, the suction cup feet are VERY stable! It does not drift across the counter while it is on.The low-speed power is perfect for a coarse to a medium grind and the high speed will turn things to powder for the most part. Depending on what you are grinding this tends to be most efficient when the hopper is half full so that there is room for movement and even grinding.I prefer the detachable type grinders like this one because they are very easy to clean independently of the motor base so I never worry about damaging the motor. The little brush it comes with is perfect for the nooks and crannies down by the blade assembly, but a larger bristle brush is better for cleaning off the sidewalls and getting every last bit out.I don't really have any cons for this device except that the lid locks in a counter-clockwise twist rather than clockwise which is not intuitive. If you open the lid lock during operation it automatically cuts power to the motor so it is not a safety issue or real concern, just an odd departure from righty-tighty/lefty-loosey.Overall, an outstanding product with great power and all the features that I need!!! I've only owned it for two weeks so I can't comment on its longevity, but if I have not updated this review then it is still rockin!

Read Reviews with a Grain of Salt
Be dubiously cautious with the reviews left by others on this product. Not only was there a “Get a Free Gift for leaving a Review” in this packaged item, but I also received a “Receive a $20 Amazon Gift Card by leaving a Review” in the mail. I would not be surprised if other buyers of this product had not also received the same.Now on to the actual review… I have had this coffee grinder for three months. It has ground my coffee in an acceptable manner, and I believe more quietly then my previous grinder. I am using the grinder about every third or fourth day. I am normally only grinding between 3/4 of an ounce to 1 ounce at a time, which appears to be between 1/3 to 1/2 cup of loose beans. This way I am drinking a more freshly ground cup of coffee, for which I roast green beans about once a month. I normally only use the Level 1 speed, for 20 seconds to obtain the grounds I am happy with. I have used the Pulsate, and Level 2 a few times, but only for a novelty sake.The steel grinding cup has been easy to wash out, but I only have done this when I switched over to grind some herbs. If I recall correctly, it did grind the dried leafy herbs into the consistency that I wanted. I have not tried this on seeded herbs yetOverall, normally I would have rated this as a 4 star, but their tactics for wanting to obtain a review, I will downgrade them one star to a 3 star.

Quality product. Worth the money.
Love this coffee grinder. It's more expensive than similar items but worth every penny. Very well made. Feels solid & robust. 4 blades instead of the usual 2 make it much more efficient, and the blades are quite close to the bottom of the base which means it grinds every last bean. You don't get lots of coffee bits stuck to the top of the cover, which is so annoying about so many other grinders. Very powerful motor - grinds my morning coffee in only 12 seconds. Good length of power cable. It's also relatively quiet!

Grinds In Seconds
I like this grinder a lot. It grinds my flaxseeds in mere seconds. I only use it to grind flaxseeds, but I have no doubts that it could handle all sorts of foods. It does have an expensive feel to it, and it’s compact and minimalist looking - perfect for a modern kitchen.
