Review on ☕ KRUPS Silent Vortex Electric Grinder - Ideal for Spice, Dry Herbs, Coffee, 12-Cups, Black by Mike Ewing

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Coffee grinder malfunction: kitchen and dining room

I bought a Silent Vortex coffee grinder and it suppresses noise well. However, after the first use, the smell of burnt insulation started to come from below. I used it to grind 3 tablespoons of spices for an Indian recipe. A lid is really a lid within a lid. The outer lid rests on the main body of the grinder while the inner lid rests on the removable stainless steel cup. Unfortunately, there is a gap of about a quarter inch between the two caps that allows liquid to flow through. When washing, the soapy water stuck when viewed from above and was very difficult to remove. It was impossible to dry (except with an air compressor), leaving drips and condensate visible. What idiot thought that was a good idea? I don't know why manufacturers are no longer able to design a proper grinder or use durable materials. My old Hamilton Beach lasted almost ten years and the earlier ones lasted longer. This one costs 3 times as much, but the quality is much worse. The Shardor I tried recently sounded like it was about to tremble to death. Customer reviews show that most of them face this or that problem. This one is coming back and I'll keep looking for one that actually works. Wish me luck.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Can damage
