Review on ☕ Hamilton Beach Fresh Grind Electric Coffee Grinder: Stainless Steel Blades, Removable Chamber, 12 Cup Capacity - Perfect for Beans, Spices, and More! (Black) by Ameen Bethea

I've had it for about a week, I've been using it every morning since I received it. I am completely satisfied with that. It says it's a lot quieter than other brands I would believe. Obviously it's not quiet, but it's probably 1/3 louder than the average mixer, so it's decent. It's quick and easy to use, pour in beans, put the lid on, press the button a few times to grind them, maybe a longer stroke to really grind them. What you need to know/Other people's complaints: Someone said there was no use leaving chunks of beans. It doesn't happen to me, but I suspect they don't grind the beans enough or somehow overfill them. While grinding, you can turn it upside down between engine bursts for better blending. "It's a mess, coffee grounds everywhere!" cap - mug. When your coffee beans (or spices) are fully ground, turn them upside down and remove the machine from the lid and you won't spill anything. It's been over a week, so I can't say it's going to be forever yet. Probably not, but for $15 if I have to buy a new one every year or two I can live with it. Or it could just be a bad block. something happens. BUT basically you don't just hold down the button to have the motor and blades spin continuously. Instead of short jerks, like accelerating a motorcycle. This will break the large pieces into smaller ones, launch them into the air and mix them up so the blades don't have to work as hard. Then, after a few nudges, when it's mostly shredded, you can hold it a little longer to make sure there aren't any chunks left. I like my coffee to be a little bigger (it's definitely not ground espresso, see photo). "The cable is too short." Yes, there is also a cover underneath that goes straight down and then you can unwind the power cable. Although the cable is quite short even when unwound. That's the only thing I don't like about this device. it can only be about a foot from the outlet. I'm dealing with it, but it's the only thing I want to change about it. For a cheap desktop coffee grinder, I don't see how it can be beat. It's fairly easy to clean (the top washes like a cup, and the part where the beans sit on the blades slides out like a cup). It works great and I am absolutely happy with what it is.
