DeLonghi KG40 Electric Coffee Bean Grinder
By S. Whitworth
This little guy pulverizes my coffee beans and is a great asset to my making a successful shot every single time! I very happy with this coffee grinder. I have two others that just could not grind my beans the proper way to make expresso with.Update: What a short life this grinder had. While it worked, it was excellent. It just could not take the work-out I gave it. It was great while it lasted (1 month). I took my five stars away and am replacing with two due to having to trash the item.

By appletim
This grinder (the KG40 model) is lacking two key features:1) Grind time adjustment: On this model, there's no setting or dial that allows you to select a desired grind time. So you totally have to guess at how long you should grind your beans. This is a key feature for me, and my old $19 Hamilton Beach coffee grinder had this! (the next model up, the KG49 does have this) Because you cannot really see into the chamber, this is a total guessing game.2) Bean measurement: Again, my old $19 grinder from Wal Mart had measurement marks on the side of the chamber so I knew how many beans to add based on the size of the pot. WIth this one, you just have to guess.Basically, I want to be able to get up in the morning, put in a measured amount of beans, grind for a measured amount of time, have a very consistent grind, and make coffee. This grinder does nothing to help with this. Even the most sophisticated coffee experts would have problems getting things just right with this grinder.Additional frustrations:3) On/Off pressure: To turn this grinder on and off, you have to press down on the top of it. This requires a good amount of pressure. Someone who is shorter or smaller would really have to "put their back into it."4) Cheesy brush: On my old grinder, I regularly use the brush. It had stiff bristles, and did a great job of cleaning out the chamber. This is NOT the case here. The brush's bristles are very soft and flimsy, rendering it unusable.5) Doesn't stay clean: As other reviewers have mentioned, this grinder has 2 major pieces. a) The chamber where the grinding happens, and b) The lid that fits over the chamber that you press down on to activate the blades. This design lends itself to lots of coffee grinds falling into the motor housing and your countertop as you lift the top lid up. This is because coffee grinds stick to this top lid, and then fall all over the place.Bottom line: I would not buy this again if I had the choice.

Disappointed
By notaclone
A friend has a Delonghi; small, and super quiet. That does NOT describe this model!It is huge (the image deceives), noisy, and takes as long to grind as my very old and dull-bladed Krups I wanted to replace. Worst of all, you have to exert a ton of double-armed-pressure to activate. I'll keep using my Krups till it falls apart, thank you.Also, that thing sticking up turns out to be a loosely set in handled-brush for cleaning. It is too easy to knock out of its holder, and is pointless and gimmicky. Returning.
