Summary: So far so good 2008-09-02
Comment: I have been using this product for two weeks. So far, I haven't had any problems, but I have experienced that if I use it for grinding 5 oz. of coffee at once, in small batches, it starts to smell like something burning.

Summary: performance 2008-08-27
Comment: Just as good as I expected. Grinds thoroughly and evenly. About 3 oz. at a time. As fine as you like. We've only ground about 2 lbs. so far but it's Cuisinart predecessor quit on it's first 3 oz.'s. Uses very little shelf space.

Summary: Top Rated Inexpensive Spice Mill 2008-08-27
Comment: I've been using this model for years, and just bought a new one. My prior one lasted roughly 7 years (guess) of fairly regular use. In my case, I mostly used it for grinding my own spices, rather than for coffee.
COFFEE (4 stars): As indicated in magazines like Cooks Illustrated, this unit does a very adequate job of ginding coffee beans - provided you master the skill of replicating the optimal degree of grind for different uses (i.e., automatic drip, espresso, percolator, stove-brewed turkish style, etc.). However, any serious coffee aficianado will quickly agree that a proper "burr" will almost always yeild better more evenly ground results than a buzz grinder like this one. Still, for what it is, and for its price, it's still one of the best 'buzz' grinders available.
SPICES (5 stars): After blending and toasting my own whole spices (for things like fresh homemade garam masala, sambar masala, etc.), I let them cool and then grind them with my trusty krups, which, in 2 passes, can grind enough to fill a standard spice bottle. The only spice the krups (and all comparable models) has trouble with are whole cloves, which tend to be very resiny, and clog the machine.
OTHER (5 stars): Although not really designed for it, the krups can do an adequate job of: grinding dried rice and/or dried lentils into a very fine grit (but not quite a true flour). It can also grind small quantities of granulated sugar into confectioner's 10x sugar.
Bottom line: It's strong, compact, powerful, durable, simple to use, fairly easy to clean, and inexpensive ... what more could you ask for ?

Summary: Great product 2008-08-08
Comment: I brought this coffee grinder to serve my purpose as a SPICE GRINDER. I bought this one as it had more power than the other spice grinder advertised by krups.
It serves my purpose well. My roasted spices grind to fine powder (which is how i want it) in very less time. I am really happy with this product.
I am sure it would serve well as a coffee grinder too.

Summary: Perfect for Grinding Seeds, Grains & Nuts into Flour 2008-08-04
Comment: I know that this is a coffee grinder and I bet it's great for that too. It's solid, small, nice-looking, and operates quietly. It's got a stainless steel interior and stainless blade as well. It seems to be built to last. If fingerprints on appliances bother you, consider getting the white one since the high gloss black plastic casing was filled with fingerprints after a use or two. It cleaned up nicely, though.
In spite of its name, I bought it specifically to grind tiny chia and other seeds, nuts, and mung beans to create flours. It does that amazingly well.
I am delighted with this little machine and highly recommend it and as usual, the Amazon price is great !
