Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun KMM30 Coffee/Espresso Mill, White
Customer Review: A good budget burr grinder
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Description of Braun KMM30 Coffee/Espresso Mill, White
Coffee Grinding System WhiteWith 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
