Review on Black Mr. Coffee IDS77 Electric Coffee Grinder - 12 Cup Capacity, Multiple Settings, 3 Speed Options by William Runninger

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Why is it a bad grinder?

I love espresso, french press and regular coffee. I love coffee so when my last burr grinder broke I figured I might grab this Mr Coffee for a while. Serious? This meat grinder has problems. The design is not bad, although there is a lot of plastic. When you set it to Course Grind it grinds but leaves too many chunks (even for a French press) and has a mix of fine to medium grinds! Okay so I set it to medium, funny how the grind looks the same as the previous one, maybe a bit finer but look there are big chunks too. I even did a bit of theatrical tremors and crunches at the same time, hoping that would help. No, it's the same. Espresso? Not much better. It also says don't put nuts or seeds in it, unfortunately Mr. Coffee uses to produce good things. With a Ziploc bag, hammer and cutting board, I was able to improve my coffee grind.

Pros
  • Automatic grinder and coffee grinder with different settings: coarse, medium or fine
Cons
  • Good but not great
