Well, i was sick of using ground coffee since the flavour of the coffee was gone by the time it was in the cup after grinding in a factory. So i thought, "Why not get a coffee grinder? Get real beans!". This thought played in my mind for while until i came across a £20 voucher for Amazon.co.uk. And they had an offer which made the delivery on this free, so i bought it. Mainly because it is the same make and looks the same design as my coffee grinder, but mostly because it was on the front page!

Price: £19.99 RRP
Capacity: 84g (12 cups)
Minimum: 28g at one time (4 cups)
Main Material: Plastic.
Colours: Black (Which turned out to be dark purple), Silver
Features: 3 types of grind to do with how many cups to grind, LED lights show the results, UltraQuick grind system

Now thats over, lets get on with reviewing this grinder!

When i first looked inside this grinder, i thought "Oh no, how are those little blades going to grind 84g of beans?", i felt them and they didn't feel sharp at all. Put i put 4 cups of espresso beans (Illy) inside it, and setted it to 4, and grinded, and wow! What a surprise, it was grinding well and consistantly! It was a maximum of 15 seconds till i could take the coffee out and use it in my DeLonghi machine, but it looked like a very good grind indeed. I was impressed. I tried the coffee and yes, it tasted better than ground coffee. So, cheers to a nice cup of coffee!

However, i was expecting it could fit more into it. If you're doing a party with coffee (Trust me, i would!) 84g isn't much at one time. But still, for someone at home, a teenager who wants a quick grind to have a lovely cup of coffee to get rid of the blues of the day with, this works well. Although, 4 cups at one time, if you do 4 espresso's, have 2 (The minimum in my coffee machine), espresso's, and you fancy a normal filter coffee, your stuck. A 2 setting would have been good in this machine.

A coffee grinder will never be groundbreakingly exiting, but it does the job!

Also, the house material. It isn't black, it is dark purple... It doesn't make a difference to the way it grinds but it's not the colour it promised...

Also, the button on the front saying 'Grind' is very unstable, i feel if i press it too hard it will break off. The lid also seems very breakable, along with other mouldings from DeLonghi products. We have a lot of DeLonghi in our house you see! The mouldings break for them very easilly. But you can replace them at the website, for a price though.

Also, cleaning the inside can be an issue. Sometimes i end up mixing beans, which doesxn't lead to a great result. It isn't waterproof, and it never ALL comes out. After the first time you use it, it's dirty for life.

Anyway, to conclude, it's a nice grinder, it does the job, nothing special, but parts seem to be easilly breakable and i wish there was a 2 setting. Oh, and it isn't black by the way!

Bring it Back In Black!
