Product Description
Coffee Grinding System White
Amazon.com Review
With 14 grind settings and a precision milling system, this electric coffee mill grinds coffee beans to any fineness without overheating them and spoiling their full flavor and aroma. Two ranges of grind settings are marked: one for fine grinds suitable for espresso and Turkish-style coffee, and the other for coarser grinds suitable for drip machines, French presses, and percolators. Selecting a grind requires only a twist of the ring under the coffee-bean container, which holds 8 ounces of beans and can be removed for cleaning. The ground-coffee container is permanently attached for convenience and has a rounded bottom to facilitate scooping. There's a timer dial calibrated by the number of cups desired, so the grinder uses only the amount of beans immediately needed. A measuring spoon (for 1 cup coffee) is included. The mill has cord storage underneath and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Summary: Typical Braun Reliability 2008-12-03
Comment: I've had this Braun for several years.
I also own a little Krups blade-type grinder but ceased using it when I purchased this grinder. I prefer either stove-top dripolator coffee or percolated. This works best with a coarse grind, and that's almost impossible to get with the little blade grinders. Therefore, my little blade grinder got converted to a spice grinder.
The nicest feature on this grinder is its adjustability. It truly will produce anything from coarse to espresso grind, consistently. There is also a 60-second timer so that one doesn't have to stand there holding a switch. The hopper is large enough to grind at least one pot of coffee, depending on desired strength.
The drawback, as noted by other reviewers, is the static. That static, combined with its tendency to shed a little dust when the reservoir for ground coffee is removed, costs a 'star' in the rating. As another reviewer stated, I keep it on its own little plate.
I don't know where the new examples of this grinder are made; mine was made in Mexico. However, it has been extremely reliable and none of the parts has broken with heavy use.
If I needed to replace mine, I'd probably purchase another one just like it.

Summary: Braun KMM30 Burr Coffee Grinder 2008-10-24
Comment: Our new Braun KMM30 coffee grinder is a replacement for an older Braun unit which lasted over 10 years processing oversized 1 lb plus batches. It appears to be a similar design but has some improvements compared to the older unit. It does a better job of containing the grounds during operation, is significantly less noisy, and was significantly less expensive, too. On the other hand, it does not appear to be as durable as the older unit. It probably would give many years of good service if limited to the one-pot batch size for which it is designed. We will continue with our larger batches. We drink a lot of coffee and do not like the idea of grinding coffee each time we brew a pot.

Summary: A good budget burr grinder 2008-10-06
Comment: Having used this grinder 3-4 days a week for 8+ months, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from their "whirly blade" without breaking the bank. Aside from needing the occasional thorough cleaning (as pretty much any heavily-used grinder will), it has kept on ticking without a hitch. Hard to believe this unit has so many negative reviews.
I can't say anything about its super-fine grind levels as I did not use them, but for both drip and french press use, I found it more than adequate. Its grind was understandably not as even as many coffee snobs would like, but at this price, what do you expect? This grinder cost me over 40 bucks plus shipping when I bought it, but now that you can get it for 30 bucks it's an even better value.
My only real problems with the KMM30 are the static in the ground receptacle and the amount of dust generated. In my case, you'd often find a nice grind in the bottom half of the chamber but a clump of powder stuck near the top. Ironically, for french press usage, the static problem made itself useful by keeping all the powder separate from the grounds - after grinding, I'd just hold the chamber over the garbage and scrape off the clump of dust. If my $100 Breville were doing this I'd be pretty unhappy, but again, this is a 30-dollar grinder so it's an easy compromise to make.

Summary: Good value 2008-08-30
Comment: I bought this coffee grinder several years ago. It works very well. There is a hopper which holds a couple of days worth of coffee beans. A variable grind ring allows you to select any fineness or coarseness of grind with just a twist. Since it is a burr grinder, the beans drop through the grinder and are caught in a cup. This produces coffee which is evenly ground. Freshly ground coffee really tasted better to me. I think is grinder is an excellent value.
