What we like about the Krups Expert Grinder

1. Gives an even grind for a machine in this price range
2. Is a fast and efficient grinder
3. It’s very small so it’s won’t take up much room in your kitchen
4. Makes a reasonable espresso considering it’s such a bargain grinder

What could be improved with this Krups

1. Beans can occasionally get stuck during the grinding process – The user has to shake the machine in these instances to get the machine to do it’s job
2. Ground coffee has a tendency to stick to the sides of the collection container because of excess static
3. The build quality of these coffee grinders is at the level you would expect for such a low price. You will probably be buying a new grinder in a couple of years when this one burns out
4. Has trouble grinding some larger coffee beans
5. It can take a few attempts to get the grind just right for the type of coffee you are making but once it is set you should have no trouble getting a perfect grind.
6. Can be a little messy when it comes to getting the ground coffee from the grinder to your coffee maker
7. If you are looking for top quality espresso coffee then you will have to look elsewhere

Conclusion

The Krups Expert is a great grinder considering it’s rock bottom price and perfect as an every day coffee bean cruncher for those of you looking to enjoy good quality coffee without too much hassle. Obviously the true coffee geeks out there will want spend a fair bit more to buy something which delivers the best possible results and is more prestigious.
