Customer Review: The Next Level Of Flavor For 30 Bucks
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this 3 times so far and wonder how I ever lived without it! For a measly [price] I have graduated from those gawdawful grinders [that grind unevenly, take shaking and holding forever...yuk!] to MILLING my beans. There is no comparison between beans you mill fresh and beans ground a week ago or more. Fresh milled tastes much richer with less bitterness. Fine grinds taste different than course. You can customize your favorite flavor and 'save' your settings. This is the coffee afficianado's dream. The device does take some brains. If you can use B&D powertools you can use this. You have to clean the spout every day. The tool is supplied and takes a second...when you have time later you can fine clean it with a toothbrush or q-tip for ease. The grind holding cup is roomy and portable, both cups are washable, the machine is quiet and setting it is easy. IT looks really cool too. Other mills can cost [more]. This things gives you consistency and customized flavor for a fraction of that. Pay attention to your portions [they include a bean scoop!],high quality beans [arabica], fresh water, good filters, keeping the mill clean and set right, and keeping your cone-drip-coffee maker cleaned weekly with vinegar, monthly with lime-away or CLR. If you get these habits locked in, owning this unit might put Starbucks out of business. Why? Because your favorite coffee is SET! ... Good coffee requires that you pay attention. [ Paying attention actually makes *all of life go better!] The change in coffee flavor will impress the heck out of your spouse. Precison milling is a must for anyone who has had trouble making good coffee, or who craves consistent flavor. You can't beat this model for price and function.
Description of Black & Decker CBM7B SmartGrind Deluxe Coffee Bean Burr Mill - Black
Black & Decker CBM7B.Precision milling system presses beans. Adjusts for fine, medium & coarse grind. Built-in timer with auto-off. Removable cups for easy access to beans & grinds. Dishwasher-safe cups and lids. Includes scoop/cleaning tool. Contemporary black styling.By crushing coffee beans rather than grinding them, this electric mill produces uniform granules to preserve flavor and aroma. The machine can be adjusted for fine (espresso), medium (drip), or coarse (percolator) granules. The bean container holds enough for up to 20 cups of coffee, and a dial controls the amount of time the mill operates so varying amounts of beans can be crushed. Both the bean and coffee containers can be removed for easy operation. A 1-1/2-tablespoon scoop is included, and its angled handle doubles to scrape away excess particles of coffee. With both containers in place, the mill, clad in black plastic, measures 8-1/2 inches wide, 8-3/4 inches high, and 5 inches deep. --Fred Brack
