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 Robert Grind

I bought this product a few weeks ago and plan to use it at least a dozen times before writing a review. That being said, I can't yet say that this item has stood the test of time. Also, I don't use it to grind coffee beans, I use it for other purposes. I bought this item to make powders like dried paprika powder, dried mushroom powder and the like. PROS: Considering I'm using it for purposes other than those intended by the manufacturer, it does the job well. I love how good my end product is. He's cheap! Even if it worked 75% as well as it does now, I'd say it's a steal. I love how the grinder compartment is disassembled and despite the advice, I still hand wash the detachable parts and let them air dry for a good day. I still wipe the body with dry or very slightly damp paper, plant it on my head and let it dry during the day. There are no problems here, but here too the manufacturer (and almost everyone else) advises against it. I'm just lazy and the subsequent powder gets everywhere leading me to disadvantages. CONS: This thing grinds the material perfectly, but afterwards it often produces powder smoke, which is often generated during grinding. This smoke penetrates everywhere, including the mechanics of the coffee grinder. I hope this will not cause any problems in the future. If you're like me and don't use this to brew coffee, get a cheap face mask, especially for grinding hot peppers. The mechanism that rotates the cutting blades isn't always accurate, and when I first used it, there was a smell of burnt plastic. It went away after about 6 uses but was worrying at first. That's a great result. Despite some issues, this product deserves 5 stars, at least because it performs better than expected and is very economical. If it lasts 6 months with my use (sanding all sorts of dried stuff 2 times a week) then I've figured it out.
