I have one of those that I don't use anymore. It's black, though, not stainless steel. Works just fine. I'll mail it to you if you want it. Free. Seriously.

I just got this for Christmas, GK. Much quieter than my old one, and a nice deep well so you don't have to pour the beans in the lid. Seems more powerful too, but I have no idea how durable it is yet.



I don't really understand people who say they "can't get going" without coffee. I've never had such a problem even after drinking it for years. I switched to water in the mornings a few months back. I just drink coffee cause it tastes freaking awesome.

That is a hot little number. I went out and picked up a Cuisinart for $20, so when that breaks in 6 months I'll give that Krups a try.

I can get going without coffee, but the quality of that going is not as high as it is with coffee. As much as anything I just really love the ritual of putting the kettle on, grinding the beans, watching the coffee drip into the bottom half of my Chemex, smelling the coffee, watching the steam. And of course the deeply satisfying moment when I first taste it. Getting to do all that greatly improves the quality of the day for me.

Good luck with that. I've had a Krups grinder for sixteen years, and it's still going strong.

Colonel Sandurz: They must have hyperjets on that thing.
Dark Helmet: And what do we have on this thing? A cuisinart?

This one? I have it and it's been grinding away for 5 years.

That's the one, except I got it in red. Great to hear that it's still going strong after that long. The first thing I did when picking it out was check to see it didn't have the same design on the blade as the Bodum.

I've decided to try to do something fun with the spare electric motor I've got lying around now. Any suggestions?

A burr grinder is the way to go as a blade grinder makes for an uneven grind and may burn the beans as the blades can overheat.
