When our Coffee Grinder died we needed an immediate replacement because the morning fix could not be missed. I sent my husband to the grocery store and he found the Braun coffee grinder.

This coffee grinder comes in white or black. He was...

Cons: Measurement markings on the lid aren’t marked well and are not explained.

Dare I admit it? I don’t drink coffee. So why does this non-coffee drinker own a coffee grinder? Being health conscious, I use flax seed when baking. The Braun Coffee Grinder – model KSM 2/4 does a great job grinding those hard flax ...

Pros: Easy to use, Fast
Cons: Loud

My husband drinks coffee every morning and we have been using beans and grinding them for over 12 years. The last grinder we had lasted just over five years at which time it quickly died. Since the last one was a Braun and we had been happy with ...

Pros: Easy to use and clean; small counter footprint; great for spices
Cons: Purists should consider purchasing a burr grinder; can't use same grinder for coffee and spices

One of the great pleasures of morning is the aroma of fresh ground coffee as hot water drips through it, creating a rich dark ambrosia that promises a kickstart to the waiting day. And Folger's commercials notwithstanding, the best coffee is made with...

Pros: great coffee with this grinder
Cons: very loud

This is a common thing heard at my house. I love a cup of freshly ground coffee.

The way I got introduced to the Braun Coffee Grinder was in college. I was working for a doctor who insisted we have freshly ground coffee every morning. I guess...

Pros: Grinds the beans well for good coffee
Cons: LOUD

Hubby is a coffee junkie, always looking for an espresso-like brew - dark, rich, and flavorful. He'll drink the stuff I make from cans of Flogers and Maxwell House, but he'd prefer something fresher and with more "oomph." Enter my Braun Coffee...

Pros: Easy to use, and clean, durable
Cons: Plastic lid may be prone to static cling

The Braun KSM2 coffee grinder is a simple to use and operate coffee grinder. You just pour the coffee beans into the see through lid, flip it over and place it on the grinder and press the grinder button. It's that simple. No adjustment knobs to set,...

Make some more? We work 36 hours on, 18 off, which is 90 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. For that, we are paid $23,739 before taxes, and we also have to *make* the coffee? - Dr. Peter Benton, E.R. One would think that with a user name ...

Pros: easy to use, inexpensive, small
Cons: noisy

It seems like coffee has become a staple in the American diet. With a Starbucks on every corner, it is hard to avoid the calling of a freshly brewed cup of java. I love Starbucks, but I don't love the prices. So I save Starbucks for a treat and grind my...

Pros: Compact, sturdy, reliable, versatile. Ideal for one or two people.
Cons: A bit noisy. The cord tends to twist and is difficult to flatten out.

Intro About ten years ago I began making my own mustards. One of the pre-requisites for doing this successfully was a coffee grinder (the recipe book suggested keeping a grinder specifically for this purpose). Faced with a range of products, ...

Pros: Grinds beans almost as evenly and finely as a far more expensive coffee mill
Cons: None that I can think of.

Coffee grinders basically come in two "flavors:" either the more respected and preferred "burr" type grinder, also known as a coffee mill, or the infinitely more popular "chopper" type grinder. The Braun KSM-2 is a "chopper" grinder. A coffee mill ...

Pros: Simple, reliable, gets the job done.
Cons: Easy to spill when grinding larger portions.

....but to be honest, I'm a pretty worthless member of the human race until I've had my morning cup.... or three. Strong. Preferably the kind you can walk across without sinking into the cup.

I am by no means a "coffee snob," but I...

Pros: cord storage, easy to store
Cons: not big enough

I purchased this Coffee Grinder a few months ago. The reason I was even looking for a Coffee Grinder can be blamed on my family. You see, since buying a Deluxe Cappuccino/Espresso machine my family have made up excuses to visit us. The have enjoyed...

Pros: long lived, works at least as well as any blade coffee grinder i've tried
Cons: plastic prone to static makes it slightly messy

It used to be my job to grind the coffee. A little wooden box, and a handle which, at four years old, I was barely strong enough to turn. The coffee was brewed in a battered and badly stained saucepan, so a coarse grind was required. I doubt i would have ...

Pros: Simplicity, Fast grinding speed, consistency, ease of cleaning
Cons: Would probably be tedious for large amounts of grounds

My mother thinks I'm pretty loony about a great many things, one of them being coffee. I'm sure that she would score as a "Regular Joe" on the Coffee Test at: http://www.emode.com/emode/tests/coffee.jsp In contrast, I score as a...
