Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Capresso 501 Cool Grind Coffee Grinder Bundle With Bean Vac Coffee Canister
Customer Review: Good little blade grinder for drip coffee
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't comment on the coffee canister as I don't have that product.
I don't recommend any blade grinder for making espresso grounds, period. Stop here if you're making espresso, cappucino, or lattes, and get a high quality burr grinder.
Okay, for grinding coarse coffee for drip, French press (?), or percolator coffee makers, this is a pretty darn good grinder. I've had mine for years, it is relatively quiet (more so than cheaper Krups or Melitta grinders), and does not get hot. The well and the top are easy enoug to clean out, and the substantial shape makes it easy to hold on the counter. Of course, the cord wrap storage in the base is a must-have, makes storing in the cabinet a cinch.
It has a good safety switch so you don't grind off fingers, but there's a small drawback. The top is circular, unlike that of my old reliable Braun grinder, so you may have to spin the top to line up the safety switch. I've gotten used to this and it presents no problem. (The Braun has a flat facet on the top where the switch is, so you cannot insert the top without lining it up right, and the switch is automagically lined up.)
You can clean the top easily in the sink with a horsehair brush and gentle soap, or RINSE ONLY in your dishwasher.
