Order Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black Friday, October 2, 2009

I've had the same Krups grinder for well over ten years (if it's not this exact model, it sure looks just like it). It's easy to use, grinds fast and evenly, and cleans up with a wet paper towel. I don't know if it'll *ever* burn out, but when it does, rest assured I'll get another Krups.Get more detail about Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black.

Where To Buy Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black

This is an excellent grinder for home use and the one that I use on a daily basis. It is relatively quiet (so I can grind my beans in the morning without waking the kids) and large enough to process 8 or so cups (a full pot) of coffee. The only downside is that you have to practice the knack of when to stop grinding due to the lack of coarse control, but it makes up for it with ease of use. In my mind the quietness, ease of use and ease of cleaning (the black model is easier to clean than white) make this a must-have for coffee lovers.Get more detail about Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black.

I have had this coffee grinder for approximately 6 years and this morning it blew up. The cord, where it attached to the base of the unit is mounted in such a way as to cause friction. This caused the cord to wear at the entry point. This morning it shorted and blew up in my face. I will be looking for one that has a cord with protection where it mounts to the grinder.Get more detail about Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black.

nice looking grinder. however upon examining the inside, you will find a small gap between the metal grinder part and the plastic outer casing. I don't like that. Makes cleaning the fine powder difficult.

personally I think the less fancy model by Braun KSM2 is a better model.Get more detail about Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black.

Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black Review

We were so pleased when we first started using this coffee grinder. Noise level was average considering what you are actually doing, and you do have to be careful not to "over-grind". But the ease of use was fantastic. Unfortunately, the product lasted only two years before the motor blew. We are being optomistic and purchasing another and giving Krups the benefit of the doubt that it will last longer this time. Seems to be the best in the market for the price right now.Get more detail about Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black.

Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black Top Quality

I guess since I am not using this product everyday, it has not blown up yet :). I was laughing as I read the other reviews. I think a product that you use everyday isn't going to last as long as you might expect it to.

On the other hand, if you use this product for just spices, it will last quite a while. When making curry, I find it much easier to just spin the spices into powder form. When I used to drink more coffee, yes, this did not last as long. I am onto my second one. It is just so convenient and small and fits in the back of the cupboard nicely.

I purchased my Krups coffee grinder in the late 1980s, and it was still working until recently (the only problem was where the cord attached to the grinder. I had to jiggle it around to work the grinder). I intended to suffer through the problem, but my husband threw it away and bought a Braun coffee grinder. The Braun does not grind as finely as the Krups, and its capacity is less as well. I have also tried the Braun grinder that deposits the grounds into a detachable reservoir. Again, the grounds aren't ground finely enough, nor are they uniform in size. The Krups, in my experience, has been the best!
Addendum: I switched to a conical burr grinder by Solis, and I have to say, I am a total convert. The Krups is still a good grinder for the price, but the burr grinder is the way to go!Get more detail about Krups 203-42 Fast Touch Coffee Grinder, Black.
