Flax Seed Kit Grinding Kit - Organic Flax, Grinder, More Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You can find a good coffee grinder on Amazon for
less than $25 and a pound of flax seed should never
cost more than $2. So this is a very expensive
way to add flax to your diet. As to the book, I find
myself leery of works with tites like:"...A True Aid."
Flax seeds are a pretty good addition to a diet. They have
a wonderfully nutty taste that adds character to baked goods
and hot cereal. They are very high in soluble fibre and can
be toasted in a skillet or incorporated in the crust of breads.
There are a few things you should know before buying this
product however:
* again, this price is quite high. A pound of organic flax seed at
your local store should cost less than $2 and you can find a
good grinder for $25.
* flax seed meal goes rancid easily. you can tell if rancidity
has set in by a slightly bitter taste to the meal. The best
way to incorporate flax in your diet is to buy fresh whole
seeds from a source that turns them over frequently and grind
them yourself.(a small electric coffee grinder that you can buy
on Amazon will do the trick.) Flax seed oil is even more
perishable.
* the fatty acids in flax are no substitute for the EFA's in
fish or fish oil. The ratio of 3's to 6's is way too low and
research has established that most of us do not convert one to
the other.
* when you first start to add flax to your diet, be sure to
drink a lot of water.

Soyabella Soy Milk Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this machine. It is a breeze to use. It is easy to clean. I usually soak my beans over night, and in the morning I have fresh delicious soymilk in fifteen minutes. I've tasted alot of soymilk and this is by far my favorite. The machine comes with a recipe book. The only downside for me was that I thought it would make rice milk. It makes rice "paste", which i guess you could drink. (a little thick though)But overall, well worth it!

Cuisinart DGB-600BCW Grind & Brew 10 Cup Automatic Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this coffee maker since last Christmas, and it is such a pain, it is not worth having the grinding unit in the coffee maker. As another writer had stated, the grinder fills with steam and becomes a sludgie mess. Coffee dust finds its way into other nooks & crevices of the maker so the filter door sticks shut, the coffee chamber doesn't hold enough beans for 12 cups of coffee, the grinder grinds too fine so that it doesn't work with the enclosed gold filter and you get coffee sludge in the pot of coffee....I could go on.
I got better results with rinsing the grinder immediately after brewing, and with switching to paper filters, but ultimately I bought a separate coffee grinder and much less expensive Mr. Coffee and got better results, less maintenance & less headache.
If you're like me, you may want to buy this dreaming of amazing freshly ground and brewed coffee waiting for you in the morning. I'm warning you of the nightmare on the other end. Please, avoid this product.

Baratza G 285 Maestro Conical Burr Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned this grinder for a year. I needed a cheap burr grinder with a good reputation, capable of properly grinding beans for espresso (a difficult task). At $99, the Maestro was the best choice to accompany my Starbucks Barista (manufactured by Saeco), bought locally through craigslist. I'm not crazy about the pressurized portafilter (nor are most espresso drinkers) but this is best I can do until I get out of grad school and can afford the Silvia.
Procedure: I buy freshly roasted beans, grind them with the finest grind, preheat the portafilter, and tamp with an aftermarket aluminum tamper.
The result: weak espresso that runs fast and lacks flavor and crema. In one year I have never pulled a good shot--just mediocre shots that are better in mixed than straight--and I can still taste the poor quality when mixed.
To investigate, I broke one major rule and ground the beans ahead of time with Whole Food's commercial grinder in the store (ideally, you grind seconds before brewing--I brewed the next day). Next day, same routine. Results: delicious, near perfect shots, worth sipping and savoring. Dark red crema, slow pulls, complex flavor. I never pulled a shot like this before.
Conclusion: I'll be grinding my beans in the store from now on. It wasn't the machine, it was the grinder. So don't buy the Maestro if you want good espresso, it WILL NOT do the job. ("minor" side note: for those interested in good drip and french press coffee, the Maestro is a great choice).
To quote coffeegeek.com: "I can make a better shot of espresso with a $200 espresso machine and a $400 grinder than I can with a $2,000 espresso machine and no grinder (or a blade grinder)... and it's absolutely true."

Nesco BG-88 Professional 12-Cup Burr Grinder with 17 Grind Settings Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The only reason I gave this product four instead of five stars is that it's a bit difficult to get a good grip on the grounds holder to remove it from the machine. Otherwise, it's an excellent product for preparing fresh-ground coffee every morning. I've come home on several occasions to find the wonderful smell of coffee still hanging around the apartment. It's also not very loud. I have two birds who freak out at practically every sudden noise, and this machine hardly disturbed them. It was quieter than my blender and is relatively easy to clean with a pastry brush, and some all-plastic parts (the hopper lid and the grounds holder) can be completely removed and washed.

Cuisinart Grind and Brew 12-Cup Coffee Maker Model DGB-700BC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The idea of having a hopper that feeds whole beans into the grinder right before brewing sounds great.
It's what influenced my decision to place this on my Wedding Registry.
Little did I know that moisture from the beans or from the brewing process would rise up into the hopper, causing the beans to stick to each other. The result is that not enough beans fall into the grinder.
The grinder runs for as long as it thinks it needs to grind x scoops of beans, so there's nothing that tells it that there are the right amount of grounds in the filter. If something blocks the beans from falling into the filter, you'll have less grounds than necessary for that perfect brew and your coffee will end up having the thickness and color of black tea- like mine frequently does.
The remedy is to STAND in front of the device, hopper lid off, and ensure that when the beans stick to one another, you quickly stir the beans, so that they make it down into the grinder. This defeats the purpose and I may as well SKIP the hopper, pull out my hand grinder and go back to grinding the night before.
Well, I went fancy German and failed... my old trusty Mr. Coffee never failed me.

Gaggia 7002 Burr Grinder, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, the good things first. This grinder is easy to use, powerful, easy to clean, and I have had no problem grinding coffees from turkish to french press (you often don't get the full range of grinds on some burr coffee grinders). It also doesn't heat up too much.
Now the bad news. It's really, really loud. I ended up sound proofing mine because I didn't want to wake people up in the morning. Second the grind button must be held down during the entire grinding process (their is no timer dial to set). Third, mine builds up a lot of static (I think all burr grinders have this problem) so if you get one, be extra careful to tap the coffee container a few times before you open it.
The nice thing about Gaggia equipment is that it's pretty basic, which means if anything goes wrong, it's easy to fix with parts you can get from a supplier like whole latte love.

Lello Ariete Burr Coffee Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)(UPDATE 2008: What's with the $50.00 price tag? When I bought this, it was $30.00 and well worth the price! It still works as I've listed below, but I would never contend that there aren't better grinders. At $50.00, it's approaching the price of more functional machines. Yes, it works well, but $50.00?)
This grinder works well. It's a very significant improvement over my blade grinder. It has two ridged wheels facing one another with an angle of somewhere between 10 and 20 degrees between the edges of the wheels. The beans go in the hopper up on top and fall through the shoot into the spinning wheels. The ridges on the wheels are dull to the touch, so the beans get crushed as they pass through with no cutting occuring at all. The grounds come out extraordinarily uniform in size and by turning the hopper, you can select a grind size from the fineness of flour upwards to a size larger than one would generally use for drip. It's also very fast; MUCH faster than a blade grinder. Unlike the reviews I've read of other low-priced burr grinders, this one is very clean. The chute from which the grounds are expelled projects slightly into the collecting bin, so they are all neatly collected without spillage. The collecting bin comes off of the grinder, which makes sticking a scoop in the bin to transport the grounds to the espresso filter easy. Also, because the whole collecting bin comes off, it's easy to rinse the bin in the sink after every use. The body of the machine is made up of about one quarter stainless steel and three quarters plastic. Of some concern to me is the report of a later poster that his machine is all plastic: I wonder if Lello altered the machine construction since I posted my review in April of 2006? Ah well, I can only report on my own results...
Unlike another reviewer, I had no problems manipulating the various parts of the grinder (e.g., removing the collecting bin), the collecting bin's cover did not fly off spontaneously, and the hopper cover was easy to lift off of the machine. I do agree with one reviewer that, unlike a blade grinder, this machine is a bit large to store in a cabinet between cans of tunafish. Plan on setting it on the counter.
The two potential complaints I have about it don't bother me much:
1- It's very loud, but because it grinds so quickly, this doesn't bother me, as it's not loud for long.
2- You select the amount that you want the machine to grind, but at the lowest amount and the finest setting, it doesn't grind the amount selected, so I have to set the dial to grind for four cups when I want two. Not a big deal once you figure it out.

Krups GVX Burr Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, let me say that I am NOT a coffee connoisseur (heresy, I know). Just a guy with a drip machine and a need for much morning brew. I wanted to grind my own because I hate the flavored coffee taste that I always seem to get from the grocery store grinder. I'm also busy and lazy.
I really like this grinder; and I like it for the same reasons that the guy from Hawaii hated it. I want to spend my morning drinking coffee, not preparing it (one cup at a time? - yeah, right). Pour the beans in (no more measuring), push the button, and before you can fill the maker with water, you have just the right amount of grind ready to go. Yes, there's a little sticking to the plastic container, but I've never had it cause any mess - just tap it on the sink before you remove the lid then pour it into the filter. Grind size and quantity takes a couple of attempts to figure out exactly what you like, but seems pretty consistent once set. Only gave it 4 stars because there are features on the more expensive units that would be nice - a BIG, sealed, hopper that would hold several days worth of beans; and glass grind containers that would completely eliminate the static issue. However, for my use, and for the price, this thing works great. Hope it holds up over time.

Mypressi Twist Handheld Espresso Maker and Hario Mini Mill Slim Manual Grinder Package Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have both of these items, and I have tried using them together but it's just not practical on a day-to-day basis.
The Hario Slim grinder may be theoretically able to do an espresso grind, but it takes a really, really, really long time to get enough just for one double shot. I don't remember exactly how long, but I think that after like 15 minutes of cranking is when I called it quits. It's possible I had the grinder set too fine though too I guess. One weakness of the Hario grinder is you have to guesstimate the grind settings.
Now, I guess you could use a courser grind and just use the "course" basket on the MyPressi (that's what I ended up doing), but your MyPressi isn't going to reach it's fullest potential like that, in my opinion. For my money, I'm just going to use my electric burr grinder with my MyPressi.
I wish the seller would offer their previous package of the Hario Slim and the Aeropress together. I could recommend that whole-heartedly and without reservation. That's a much more attractive purchase. In fact, after making coffee with this combo for a friend of mine, he was so impressed with the final result that he was asking me what he should get for the same set-up, and I recommended him the combo but it's now sold out.

Factory-Reconditioned Cuisinart DGB-600BC Grind and Brew Coffeemaker, Brushed Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, ok, I have read the reviews. A friend gave me this coffee maker after she had the same experience as other reviewers. She had messes on the counter, floor, etc., and practically threw it at me. Well I've had it for a year now and it's been perfect. I have a feeling that the users who had problems didn't push the filter door in firmly enough. It has to "click" in place. The only problem I've had is that my guests drink up the coffee too fast and I end up making another pot.
As far as cleaning... most of the time I just rinse off the parts and let them dry. Every now and then I dump the parts in the dishwasher. How difficult is that? Also, since the coffee maker doesn't have a hot plate, I preheat the carafe with hot tap water.

Gaggia MDF Coffee Grinder with Doser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this machine (Gaggia MDF) for over 10 years. It does have a non slip base and perhaps with a clean counter it would stay in place.
It broke and I called the importer/distributor in Rochester NY.
They sent me three manuals and I was able to fix it and recalibrate it myself.
The machine works perfectly well and is made if metal and very sturdy allowing it to grind without shaking or making too much noise.
It also has a classic look.
I highly recommend it.

The Gaggia MDF Grinder is a commercial grade burr grinder equal to those found in Europe's espresso bars and restaurants. Automatic dosing allows a premeasured amount of ground coffee to drop directly into the filter holder. Pull the lever once for one cup espresso, or twice for 2 cups. Precision-machined grinding burrs can be easily adjusted for 39 different degrees of fineness. The large hopper holds 10 ounces of coffee beans. Easy to use and perfect results are achieved each time. Please note that most grinders are tested at the manufacturer and coffee grounds may be found in the grinder as a result. All machines sold are new unless otherwise clearly stated.

Capresso 560 Infinity Conical Burr Grinder, Brushed Silver Finish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the model 565 instead because it is actually metal and weighs about twice as much as the plastic one. I wanted something solid. This one is. It sits vibration free on the counter while grinding. I tried two other grinders before this one. You will find negative reviews on them somewhere here.
I have been using this one for a couple of weeks now and LOVE it. It does a great job grinding the beans, even flavored, very oily dark roast, the bane of most grinders.. I found the right grind setting for my beans,gold filter and Krups drip pot after only a couple of tries. Makes wonderful coffee. I don't make Expresso, so I can't speak to that. There are five finer settings than the one I use and ten that are courser. I think most people could find one that would work for them. I don't clean it after every use as recommended. Maybe once a week or so. I've had no problems so far.
It's much quieter than any other grinder I've used and I have had very little static problem. Nothing a light tap on the side doesn't handle.
It's not perfect, but as close as I can afford. Bottom line: spend a little more and get the 565. It's worth it.

Baratza Virtuoso Coffee Grinder - Baratza 585 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since I have only had the Virtuoso for three months I will not discuss the long-term quality. Because I use it primarily for press pot, drip and small espresso batches I was not looking to get a solid consumer grinder, like the more expensive Rancilio Rocky or Mazzer Mini.
Previously I have owned a Starbucks Barista (the Solis verson, not the newer Saeco Titan verson) and the Capresso Infinity 560 Black. The Barista had a long and happy life, and after performing the hack (see coffeegeek.com), made great coffee and pretty good espresso. The Capresso was excellent for drip & press coffee, but only adequate for espresso. I would happily recommend each of these for people that just want a pretty solid cup of Joe, and do not mind it being slightly heated in the process. The Capresso was still running solidly, so do not infer it died early (it cheerfully grinds my wife's flax seeds very well now), I just wanted something better for my espresso shots.
After briefly considering the Gaggia MDF I looked at the Virtuoso, mainly for three, important, reasons.
First I was very happy with my Solis/Starbucks grinder, it lasted for over 10 years of heavy use. The hack allowed it to make good espresso. Baratza has been involved with selling the Solis products, and are the designers of the Maestro and Maestro Plus grinder (yes, thats right they are THEIR machines, not Solis). After talking to a few of the locally operated coffee shops, invaluable advice, I was able to learn more about the company.
Second, many of the negative reviews were early in the introduction of the product. What I appreciated, and what the shop owners told me about, is the serious approach to resolving any issues the product has and updating the product itself. Each issue has been addressed, burr design, machine rpm, cleanliness, fineness settings, etc. Important to me was that the later reviews, specially by some of the talking heads, were far better than the earlier versions of the Virtuoso.
Third the current version of the product, it is an affordable ($200 in some cases slightly less) grinder with a professional burr, over 40 settings (it can be easily hacked to allow for finer or coarser setting- something I have not needed to do yet. That information is posted in the FAQ of the Baratza website), and lower rpm motor (very important if you do not wish to heat the ground beans, or use a heavy French Roast as I do). It is easy to clean with the supplied brush, but hand wash and rinse well, the washable parts. Absolutely do not wash the container in the dishwasher, unless you wish destroy the anti-static properties of the container, plus it isn't necessary.
After figuring out what settings work best for my three purposes, I am getting a coffee that is as good as I would get in even some of the better local establishments in Portland. My espresso is not quite as good, but then I do not have Mazzer's and a thousand dollar plus espresso machine. For my purposes the espresso is far better than I have made on my own in the past.
It may be only a perception, but it seems as though I am using fewer beans as I have in the past as well, important as coffee prices rise. This is a great grinder for its niche, one can get better, but you will have to pay more, and be seriously addicted to Barista quality espresso.

Krups GX4100 Electric Coffee and Spice Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Krups Coffee/Spice Mill is a good value for the money. I use it primarily for grinding toasted seeds for Indian dishes (cardomman pods, cloves, cumin seed, peppercorns, coriander seed, mustard seed, chiles etc.). I read the reviews on how the plastic lid will 'cloud' from certain spices (e.g., cloves) and that doesn't matter to me. This grinder isn't a piece of artwork - it's a cooking tool. Where I used to spend 20 minutes with a hand-operated mill, the Krups does the same thing in about 5 seconds. It cleans up easily - it's all self-contained and there aren't any burrs to clean out - it's totally blade-operated. In a perfect world, it would grind more precisely (fine to coarse) - but that would require burrs and the cleaning associated with them. So for me and my needs, it's a good value for the money. The time I saved with the first usage more than pays for the machine.

Hamilton Beach 80374 Custom Grind Hands-Free Coffee Grinder, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I couldn't recommend this grinder more highly. It is solidly constructed, and the manufacturer took the time to add all the little details that are missing on cheaper models, like no-slip feet and a retractable cord (which is a little short, perhaps the one negative to this otherwise perfect product). The stainless steel grinder bowl is well designed - it has gradiated markings to let you know how many beans to put in for the number of cups of coffee you intend to brew, and it perfectly grinds the beans to your desired coarsness. In addition, it is removable AND dishwasher safe, making for easy cleaning.
The machine's slim, tall profile is ideal for easy on-counter or cabinet storage, and the black / stainless steel finish is attractive and a good match to most major coffee maker and espresso machine brands. The grinder provides multiple different settings for different coarsness and the amount of beans you are grinding, and since the grinding time is pre-set you can just push the button and move on to doing something else while the coffee grinds. It may take the "art" out of coffee grinding, but it will give you a great cup of coffee every time.
A final note - you may feel constrained by the pre-set options, but they still provide quite a bit of flexibility. If you like your coffee weaker, just put in a few less beans than your desired cup mark would call for (or vice versa if you like your coffee stronger). Having the specific settings means that when your experimenation finally comes out the way you want it to, you'll be able to remember next time ("oh, I used the 4-cup measure of beans to 8 cups of water, and I ground it on the medium-coarse setting") rather than having to try to guess at what you did to get that "perfect cup."
I can't imagine anything else that I would want in a grinder - the only semi-common option that it is missing is extra storage for beans or ground coffee; these features are not missed, however, as I always grind my beans fresh and I store them in a cool, dry airtight container. Storing your beans or grounds in the grinder is a sure way to ruin their taste.

Saachi SA-1440 - Stainless Steel Coffee Grinder / Dry Spice Grinder - A Very Popular Model for All Your Grinding Needs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this product when it had no reviews, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Boy, was I happy when I received this grinder. It is probably only half as loud as my former Cuisanart Burr Grinder. It is also heavy, and not at all flimsy, and has a cord wind space at the bottom. The push button is included in the top so no accidental use when removing ground coffee. We prefer a finer grind to our coffee so this is a very effective machine for us. We also go with coffee manufacturer recommendations of more grounds per cup to avoid bitterness, than most people typically use. It supplies the exact amount we use, beautifully, with our preferred grind. For us, it it about a 20-25 second grind cycle, but we haven't experienced any heating of grounds, or off tastes, as a result. The only thing which may concern some, is there is often a round of ground coffee under the blade. This doesn't bother us, and is easy to dump or losen with a finger or brush, without touching the blade. Husband is so impressed he wants another for nuts and spices, and I want another "just in case." Extremely pleased.
