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

 Braun KMM30 Burr Coffee Grinder October 24, 2008
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.
A good budget burr grinder October 6, 2008
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.
 Good value August 30, 2008
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.

excellent burr grinder allows you to fine tune the grind for the perfect cup of espresso
 Not for the Avid Coffee Drinker July 28, 2008
It's too slow, too messy, and it is noisy. Dismantling and cleaning usually results in changing the grind setting.
