I bought the Krups Burr Grinder at Macy's on sale (originally $79 I got it for $59) and I am not very pleased. First of all, it didn't work at all when I bought it. Then, after I got the burr wheel set up (about 10 minutes of fiddling around with the thing) it would not grind according to the setting--everything came out really coarse. More fiddling and it FINALLY started working but it is not consistant. I sit here this morning having had a very weak espresso because the grinds--although set on the smallest size)-- were too coarse for espresso and at 6 AM with a small child running about I was not about to take the time to fix it. I love Krups products (and have the combo espresso/coffee maker which the grinder matches) but can not recommend this.
