Premium Electric Coffee Bean Grinder - Adjustable 28-Grind Settings Burr Mill for Espresso, French Press & Drip Coffee - 12-Cup Capacity Spice & Nut Grinder - Anti-Static Design for Home & Office Use (Metallic Grey) - Perfect for Coffee Shops, Bakeries & Gift Giving

I have been grinding my coffee beans for over 15 years with manual coffee grinders. I like that I can adjust the grind size to suit the coffee maker I’m using, and I also appreciate the lack of noise first thing in the morning. Years ago I had an inexpensive electric blade grinder that was so loud it could wake the dead. There also was no consistency as to how it would grind the beans.While I’m not giving up my manual coffee grinders, occasionally I just want a quick cup of coffee. I also might have a desire in the afternoon for something other than my usual French press coffee. Could be espresso, moka pot or pour over with paper or metal filters, all of which requires a different grind size. What struck me about this Caukins coffee grinder was how easy it seemed to be to adjust the grind size.And that certainly is the case. You simply turn the hopper to select one of 28 different sizes, from French press coarse to espresso fine. This is the easiest to adjust grinder I’ve ever seen. It’s also nice that you can easily specify how many coffee beans you want to grind. There’s a rotary knob to adjust between 2 cups and 12 cups. You many need to play around with it to determine just how much you need, as cup sizes and coffee strength desired will vary. Still, it is nice to simply select the grind size, the amount and then just press the button and end up with a drawer filled with ground coffee. While it’s not as loud as I remember that old blade grinder being, I wouldn’t say this is really quiet. It’s fine in the afternoon, but I personally don’t want to hear this much noise in the mornings, at least not before I’ve had a couple of cups of coffee.This is a compact unit. It takes up very little space on my kitchen counter which I appreciate. The bean hopper isn’t huge, but that is fine with me. I don’t want to keep my coffee beans exposed to air for long and I tend to add a few scoops of beans to the hopper every other day or so.The only item I’m finding less than perfect is how difficult it seems to be to pull the drawer out of the unit. There’s a rather small tab to pull (at least small for me with my huge hand) and I sometimes struggle to remove it. Not sure if that will get better with use. Still, I’d rather have it a bit tight than so loose that it comes out while the coffee is grinding.I can recommend this Caukins electric burr grinder. Very easy to adjust the grind size. Compact, not horribly loud, consistent grinding. A fine addition to my coffee making paraphernalia.
