I have owned the Krups Fast Touch coffee grinder for several years now. The first time I decided to buy coffee beans and then grind them up I really knew nothing about the process, but I had heard how much better the brew tasted when using fresh grounds. This was my driving force behind trying the Krups grinder out. It looked simple to use and was inexpensive. I can say that I'm not disappointed.

I find myself brewing at least 2 pots of coffee each day so I put a beating on this grinder. It has become discolored a bit but still works great. The motor still goes strong and the blades power through the grounds like nothing. It is also very simple to use. You just put the beans in and figure out how long to grind them (depends on how strong you like your coffee). It took me a little bit of experimenting to get this right but now I have it down. The safety feature is another thing I like as it won't let you grind without the lid being seated properly. This has saved me more than once.

Spilling the coffee is not a problem with this Krups either. All I do is rap the sides a little to loosen the coffee from the lid and sides, then remove the lid and dump the grounds into your filter. Again, with a little practice this becomes second nature. One thing I will mention is there are not many bells and whistles on this model but in my opinion that is a good thing (less stuff to break). You really don't need many options when all you want to do is grind some great tasting coffee beans.

Overall I love the Krups Fast Touch and would highly recommend it. It's inexpensive and lasts a long time, and believe me I use it often. If you want a no frills coffee grinder that won't cost you much then look no further than this machine.
