It is such a excellent product for the little price to pay. It's worth every penny of it. Quiet and does the job needed to get done. No complain for the product.
Had a Krups grinder for years until it broke. Tried a Burr grinder for awhile until I was tired of the mess it made during grinding. So I went back to what I knew worked best for me - the Krups grinder.
I bought the Krups GX4100 for grinding garam masala, an Indian spice mixture [.]. The spice is best prepared freshly, so buy it in whole form. The Krups GX4100 does an excellent job of reducing the various ingredients, which include chunks of cinnamon bark, bay leaves, peppercorns and seeds, to a coarse powder that can be directly added to food while it is cooking.
Ironically, I had been thinking about getting a grinder like this for months, finally got around to it, then a couple of weeks later saw the Magic Bullet at our local warehouse club. One thing I don't like about it is the way the lid locks on. It works great for that. Not only does the Magic Bullet do a lot more tasks (acting as a blender as well as a grinder).
And, after a couple of weeks' use, it seems like it'll be pretty sturdy. I bought this item to grind flax seeds and spices. I bought the Magic Bullet for around $50 and it does so much more than this grinder does. You can shake that out. You have to put it on so that it's not quite lined up to lock down then twist it down into place.
Had I had the Magic Bullet first, I would not have bought this. But, with the Magic Bullet you actually screw the blades to the container. I like the stainless steel construction. But, it comes with multiple containers to grind in. It took several minutes of finagling (technical word) to get the technique down because if you don't line it up just right it won't go on at all.
Then, once you have it on, you make a slight twist to lock it into place. And, the major advantage is that when you're grinding things like coffee, spices, flax seeds in this grinder when you dump them out, some inevitably get stuck under the blades. So, when you detach that from the motor, you remove the blades and pour straight from the container.
Wow. Wanted to occasionally grind my own beans and experience a freshness you can't get in packaged goods. My old grinder was worn out so I bought this one. Easy to use and does a great job grinding the beans. Fast too.
