Review: Where is the 6th Star When you need it!! - I invested in a filter coffee machine a couple of years ago and since then have been either buying the bags of pre-ground coffee from supermarkets, or making the odd trip into Starbucks for my favourite blends and asking them to grind it for me. I had heard that grinding the coffee beans just before brewing the coffee tastes a lot better, so I was keen to give it a go. I spent ages looking at all of the different options, mainly trying to choose between one with blades and what they were calling a burr grinder (i'd never heard of it). Every review and guide that I read said that the Burr grinders were better because they gave more even results, didn't burn the coffee beans. Only problem was the price, the blade ones were within what I wanted to spend (around £20) and the Burr Grinders looked to be 10-15 times that amount. I was a little sceptical with this one because it was just a little more expensive than the blade grinders but gave it a go to see what it would be like, it was really the positive reviews on here that convinced me. I found it very easy to set up and use. You really do just pour the beans into the top, replace the cap and press the button on the top. I like that you can do this and then just go away and leave it to do its thing, rather than have to stand and hold the button like some of the other options. I do notice that once or twice it does not seem to want to switch off, and just keeps going. Tends to be when there is maybe just a bean or two bouncing around inside, it keeps going until it catches them. You do get to choose how course or fine the grind is, I have been using it on a medium setting since I set it up and haven't really found any cause to change it. All in all, I have been very impressed with this. Like some people have been telling me, the filter coffee does taste a lot better when it has been ground just before brewing, or least in my opinion after trying it vs the pre-ground bags. This grinder is small and unobtrusive, it matches my (black and chrome) filter coffee machine well and the quality seems excellent. I would strongly recommend it to anyone. Unless you're looking for one for commercial use, this little grinder does a great job at a very reasonable price. Love it!
Review: Burrilliant Coffee Grinder. - This Christmas a colleague decided to feed my coffee prob..iss... passion with a manual bean grinder along with a bag of beans. After 3 days of improved coffee and what was already a duff wrist and an inconsistent grind I deliberated on the purchase of this.. it's a hefty investment. After a week, here is my take away... The hopper can hold approx 225g of beans, howevre in doing so tends to render it non functioning.. I believe this has something to do with either volume or the hopper lid.. still..it's not enough to annoy me. The Volume...nothing to write home about.. makes noise sure.. but...hey it's grinding. The dials.. I prefer course for my french press and it stays on course.. man does it make a great cuppa. The minimum cup selection is 2. You can either chose to utilise this as your strength or as it is 2. I use my fresh grounds and leave the rest in there for later..usually making for 2 cups. You could grind more but if you're going to get into the ultimate coffee making side of things then you need to look into appropriate storage..there are legit proper filtered tins for this sort of thing. All in all I get 4 tablesspoons out of a 2 cup blend. I work at 2 tablespoons per 8 fl oz and brew at 4 minutes after stirring and before plunging. The collection box does have static.. but no biggy. The takeaway.. This is a great blender and like any device is open to having issues out of the factory. There is a warranty so make sure you keep the leaflet that comes with. Make sure you maintain it, and clean it out and don't let everything get clogged up.. get into a routine. I can't complain.. this has made me a happy man. The only negative I can think of is the packaging. This comes in the polystyrene base and top padding fashion and I feel that it could be better.. but that's just me.. it's not enough to annoy me but could result in damage if the package is thrown around.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Suited for Espresso Machine.
*by E***T on 26 November 2013*

UPDATE-28/11/14: I use it only as a spice mill in the kitchen. A year on, it still works! :) I only need to use it for a few seconds to grind a small quantity of spices for everyday cooking. It does struggle but it has lasted and I am pleased that I can use it this way. ............. Since I have a bean to cup machine I got this only to share some home roasted coffee with friends who use cafetiere plunger. It is compact and well worth the buy if you wish to grind small batches of freshly roasted coffee beans for your cafetiere/plunger or anything other than espresso machines. Verdict: perfect ground coffee for French plunger type coffee press. Highly recommended if this is your drinking style. If you are buying this because you just bought an espresso machine then *please do not buy this* For espresso you need much more consistent fine grind. The finest setting grind is still too coarse in this KG79. So please save your money and put it towards a *proper* grinder. You can either read reviews like this and save time and money or buy this burr grinder and give it a try anyway! I received a comment saying that my review was not helpful. so I am trying my best to say both the benefits and shortcomings of this DeLonghi KG79 burr grinder. Quality: I noticed the motor is just a direct attachment to the cone. So this is not a geared burr grinder. This is a "direct drive mechanism". Hence the low cost of manufacture. This kind of mechanism is prone to failure. This one is in use once every day for a month now. I will update on durability if it fails in the future. Ease of use: Extremely easy and safe. For me, however, it has taken an interesting turn. I am mentioning this here because someone else might find this useful as a spice mill. I grind spices with this, as I cracked my mortar and pestle. Lo and behold: it grinds whatever spice mix you put into it!! I was just about to buy a T & G capstan "Crushgrind" ceramic mill or a Peugeot Mill at a great expense. They are manual and come with lifetime warranty, however they can't cope with most of the spices. Definitely not a custom mix of spice seeds on the fly. Peugeot especially is only suited for round black peppercorns, white peppercorns and coriander seeds. It can't, for example, cope with fennel seeds, mustard seeds, sesame seeds, dried chillies, cardamom seeds, etc. This automatic burr grinder from DeLonghi can!! So I have now dedicated this one as a spice grinder. It is much better than mortar and pestle because much of the oils used to stick to the stone and the grind was uneven and loud thumping woke up sleeping children. Also, my 2 year old son kept running away with the pestle. With this burr grinder no oils are lost and there is no wastage. I can even grind tiny quantities of any spice seed mix. If you have it in your kitchen and if it is dry then this will grind it. I am still in the process of deciding on my second burr grinder to do exclusive coffee bean duty only. For coffee aficionados this may not even offer borderline acceptability for espresso grade grind. You 'may' manage a barely acceptable espresso. Maybe. But it will give poor crèma. The inconsistent grind will also cause the coffee to have a 'mixed' taste because the small particles will release coffee quicker and the more bitter constituents. The bigger particles will not release the coffee quick enough. Lengthening the extraction time is not good whatever the particle size. If the grind produces uniform size particles even if the size is not 'ultra' fine, then you can judge the extraction time and make good espresso shots. Therefore grinds by KG79 which is a mixture of ultra fine, fine, and crude particles all coming out mixed together is the worst kind of grind for an espresso! So for fine espresso grind (for coffee taste you get in Costa or Starbucks) you need to spend much more on something like a "burr grinder with geared motor" e.g. Mazzer Mini(£380), Rancilio or something in that range (or at least a Baratza?), also avoid KitchenAid Artisan grinder at £200 as cannot do the job of consistent fine espresso grind! I hope this has been helpful. Thanks for reading. UPDATE ON FEBRUARY 2017. (!!) It is still working :) I still use it only for spices, however, I grind all kinds of spices with it most days and it has worked flawlessly for this. Great alternative for a mortar and pestle for dry spices. Really pleased.
