KRUPS Precision Burr Coffee Grinder: 12 Settings, 8 oz Capacity for Drip, French Press, Espresso, Pour Over, Cold Brew - Stainless Steel, 110W, Auto-Stop, Easy Clean

I purchased this Krups GX450 coffee grinder after having purchased the Krups 5 cup coffee maker.I was so impressed with the coffee maker that I decided I would try a Krups coffee grinder. I have had a little coffee grinder in the past and I found it somewhat annoying to use. It was too loud, too messy, too inconsistent (no options to specify the courseness of the grind, etc.)So I saw this Krups grinder on Amazon and bought it using the like new option. This saved me some considerable money on the price. (I’ve had great success with that option with other purchases from Amazon.) The device did come in the Krups box, but it looked like it had been somewhat repackaged. It was clean and looked like new. The only weird thing is, they had a hand Xeroxed instruction manual for the smaller older model in the box, rather than the one that goes with this model. I wound up having to dig deep on the Krups website to find a downloadable version of the manual for this new device. Also, strangely on Krups‘s site, they don’t even feature this new grinder on the American website.So having used the device for a few days, I must say it’s fantastic. It works super well. It’s not deafeningly loud, and it does an excellent job of grinding the coffee to the courseness that you choose.I would say the design of this unit is greatly superior to the other model they make that is smaller.Interestingly, I have yet to see any reviews on this actual unit in Amazon that pertain to this new model.Just a word of advice if you get this machine, the method to remove the bean hopper from the machine to clean it or clear it out is not very obvious. What you need to do is rotate the whole hopper counterclockwise many times until the hopper begins to unscrew from the bottom of the unit I had to do a lot of experimentation before I figured that out. And that is not clearly indicated in the instructions at all.Overall, I highly recommend this unit. It works very well and looks great with the Krups coffee maker.

Works great!!! I like the finest blend and it not only does a good job it’s quick. At first I grinded more than I was going to use for the day because I’m terrible at reading directions so I had enough for the next day. What happened with that is my whole house smelled of freshly grinded beans all day and I loved it. So now I always grind a bit extra. Great grinder. Low price for quality of the grinder. Highly recommend

works great for drip coffee, grind too fine for french press even at the coarse setting

This is, without any doubt or equivocation, the finest grinder that I have ever owned. It is certainly a tremendous value especially at the sale price at which I purchased the item.It is noisy! However, I would be noisy too if the first thing that I had to do each morning was to fill my mouth with coffee beans and then, with my teeth, grind up enough for a couple of pots of coffee.Trust me on this, I would be howling, and growling, and barking out a LITANY of profane epithets, unceasingly!!There are settings for volume of bean to be ground in order to meet the liquid demands, and enough settings to grind the beans precisely as I like them. This setting, obviously, will be determined by the coffee blend as well as the apparatus that is employed to tackle this task. Along with the preferential whims of the human behind the magic!! Quality coffee brewing is NOT a task for the faint at heart. Their very state of emotional and physical wellness may depend upon their level competence, passion, and level of expertise, that are mandated by the task of conjuring up that precious morning commodity :)The machine has a very large bay into which I poor the appropriate amount of product, being careful not to overfill beyond my immediate need. The machine has an exceptionally large bean capacity. I use one heaping coffee measuring scoop per cup of coffee. Subsequently, I fill the bean bay up 2/3 of the way. This is the maximum amount of grounds that the coffee ground catch basket will hold. Furthermore, the filters won't accommodate beyond that ... at all!!!I no longer subscribe to the old men's tales that the consumption of a combination of slices of hockey puck look'n toast, dipped into a 12 oz. cauldron of spoon dissolving coffee, that has the same color, flavor, and texture as the aforementioned toast, will put hair on my chest.Lastly, the negligible amount of finely ground coffee that escapes the clutches of the grounds receptacle is hardly worth mentioning. I utilize the grinder as it sits on either a dish rag, or dish towel. This completely alleviates any concerns of coffee dust on my counters. It also absorbs all of the vibration of the grinder on the counter, which effectively lowers the decibel level of the grinding process.As well designed and crafted as this grinder is, again, I genuinely believe that it is going to outlast me!! Hence, it will be welcome an appropriate comrade to accompany the KOFFEE tamper that I use to PACK the grounds into the filter.The end result of this entire process is DARK STRONG, BLACK, HOT KOFFEE!!Yep, and it all starts with, and depends upon, my trusty Krups Precision Flat Burr Grinder :)

I never thought I’d fall in love with an appliance, but here we are. The KRUPS Burr Grinder has become the MVP of my mornings, turning my groggy pre-coffee self into a caffeinated champion. It grinds like a pro, ensuring that my coffee is fresh, flavorful, and just the right consistency every single time. Honestly, it’s like having a barista in my kitchen—minus the man bun and ironic tattoos.Setup is a breeze. The settings are easy to adjust, whether you’re brewing a robust espresso or a smooth French press. It’s versatile, consistent, and, most importantly, quieter than my old grinder, which sounded like a jet engine warming up for takeoff. My neighbors are probably as grateful as I am.What I love most is how simple it is to clean. No more battling rogue coffee grounds that seem to appear out of thin air. KRUPS keeps the mess contained and my counters crumb-free, which is a small miracle in itself.If you’re a coffee enthusiast—or just someone who needs caffeine to humanize in the morning—this grinder is worth every penny. It’s dependable, efficient, and dare I say… grind-tastic. KRUPS has definitely upped my coffee game, and for that, I salute it (with a steaming mug of freshly ground coffee, of course).Bottom line: Buy it. Your taste buds (and sanity) will thank you. Cheers to fresh mornings and even fresher coffee! ☕✨
