Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun KSM2-BLK Aromatic Coffee Grinder, Black
Customer Review: Great Little Grinder
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in the market for an inexpensive coffee grinder. While I have never been a regular coffee drinker, I accidently bought a bag of whole bean coffee and thought -- I might as well by a grinder and have the real stuff. I'm glad I did. The grinder is very quick and powerful and does the job well. I use a french press so I only have been grinding the beans coarsely, but I'm sure the grinder could work much finer too. Within mere seconds I have evenly grinded coffee. It makes such a huge difference in the flavor to use fresh beans.
For the price, this is a great grinder.
Customer Review: Wonderful All purpose Grinder with a very cool form factor!

Hi,
I bought this around a year back after seeing at it friend's house. And guess what, I never used it for grinding the coffee :)
I use it for grinding spices. In Indian food, we use many different types of spcies. Though, like coffee, you can get powder at local store, but the aroma and texture of fresh grinded spice is amazing.
It works well for grinding dry red peppers, nuts, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, cumin etc..
It is noisy but it just take few seconds to finish the job. So, it does not matter much.
Customer Review: A good, inexpensive, no frills grinder
Summary: 4 Stars
As a coffee addict, my Braun coffee grinder is one of my favorite small kitchen appliances. It grinds quickly and evenly, and has lasted me for years already. Although a teaspoon or so of grounds gets packed into the bottom, a quick rap on the side generally frees them. The grinder is fairly small (a little over seven inches high) so it does not take up much counter space, a big plus for most kitchens. If you like freshly ground coffee, you can't go wrong with this simple and efficient grinder. Package this with a pound of whole beans, and you've got a great gift.
Customer Review: do not buy this grinder
Summary: 1 Stars
The grinder was used on daily basis to grind coffee beans . It was not used for anything else. As far as grinding is concerned it did do a fine job. The motor quits,however, after exactly 2 months of use. It was sent back to a service center ( cost of shipping was about half its original price ). Did not receive it back yet.
In summary , although it is moderately priced; I do not recommend it for heavy use. It may be adequate for occasional use. But why bother; it is definitely cheaper to invest in a more expensive and at the same time more durable grinder.

I actually owned this product for over 10 years. A beige one I got in 1996 and took with me overseas for 2 years. I brought it back home with never a problem and my coffee beans grounded to perfection. Well A couple of months ago a penny in the coffee beans finally killed it. I was upset, but happy to learn they still make this grinder. I purchased it right away with no qualms. Hopefully this one will last more than 10 years. Just be careful of those pennies hiding in the beans. My only complaint is how noisy it is. Great grinder though!
