Hamilton Beach (80335R) Fresh-Grind Coffee Grinder Reviews

More and more I kept finding great deals on coffee, but they were always whole bean! I found a large bag of Starbucks whole bean coffee on sale in Costco and decided then I needed to cave and get a grinder. I'm so glad I found this one on a whim! I always read reviews before I buy anything, and this seemed overall positive. I was definitely not disappointed. This little thing is more powerful than it looks and very easy to clean. My tip is to NOT get it wet at all. It wipes down just fine with a dry paper towel around the cup and the blades. It keeps everything from getting ruined by moisture and keeps the blades sharp (be careful, because I've learned the hard way). I've also used it to grind coriander, black pepper, and oats and I imagine if would work well for small nuts too. It's been almost a year of using it on and off, and it still works just like out of the box. The cord keeper on the bottom is a great bonus too.

this is my first tiny grinder and it's perfect. it works great and it's simple. grinded pumpkin seeds and shredded carrots and results were as promised.

Very handy for quickly grinding granulated sugar replacements without getting out a blender or food processor. Definitely worth having when ground spices are needed

At this price point, this is a great coffee grinder. It's pretty quiet and you can throw the two detachable pieces (blade cup and top cover) onto the top rack of your dishwasher. Power cord can be hidden easily in the base. So far the durability seems like it will last a long time.

I just replaced my first one after 6 years of daily use. Great for the price to enjoy fresh ground coffee at home. Not a fancy grinder but it gets the job done if you time the grinding. I do 18 seconds for medium grind of blonde roast coffees for use in a pour over coffee pot. My daughter uses it in the reusable cups for the Keurig.

Yesterday I found myself in a pinch and needed a coffee grinder so I ran up to Walmart and found this on clearance for seven dollars. When I got home, immediately used it, and have to say that this was a great purchase. The unit is small but still has enough room in the grinding chamber to get the job done. The Grinding chamber is detachable so you can properly clean it without having to worry about compromising the base unit. It also has a hidden cord compartment at the base of the unit that you pull down onto open and then push back up to close, a great option for aesthetics! 10-15 seconds is all you need to get the perfect consistency of grounds. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone considering it!

Item came packaged in original box only, which was damaged. Item inside was dirty, damaged and didn't work. It looked as if someone had used it and it was returned and then shipped out to me. Whats even worse is there isn't a phone number to call to talk to a real person. Last time I order anything from walmart.

So far, this grinder has worked great. I use it everyday to grind up fresh coffee beans. I only have two problems with the use of it, and they really aren't major issues. Just me being picky. I have a little trouble getting the lid on. You have to line it up just right with the grooves on the top of the machine. And the other one is that it only grinds on one speed, so you really have to pay attention to how long you push the button. I have ground coffee beans down to almost espresso powder, but it still brews up just fine in the coffee maker. If you want a low-cost bean grinder, this is it. Just be careful when you are done, sometimes the lid does want to come off after you grind the beans. Especially if it's tipped or moved too much. The hidden cord "wrapped" around a drop-down base is a very nice feature as well. For a beginner, or a fresh ground coffee enthusiast, this is a perfect appliance.

This was one of the least expensive grinders I could find on the internet, and so far it has worked pretty well. There is no variable setting for how course the grind is, but after you use it a couple of times, you figure out how long to let it spin for your preferred level of grounditude. The lid is pretty simple and doesn't get stuck, because you don't have to twist it, it just fits on. You pull out the bottom to expose the cord wrapped up inside, which makes it pretty tidy to store. If you don't grind every day, this is the perfect one to get for some-of-the-time projects like grinding spices or dried herbs for tea.

I purchased this at a time of absolute necessity- My other long time grinder's blade broke off during the grinding of my next mornings coffee- So I needed one ASAP!- and this model was available for In-Store Pickup. When I tried this for the first time- I was skeptical as it has a removable cup for the beans (with the grinder blade in it)- but it turns out to be one of the best little inventions possible. It is much easier than having to turn over the entire grinder to empty it into my coffee pot, just remove the cup and pour. It is also VERY QUIET for a grinder- You don't have to worry about waking up the whole house if you grind your coffee at early morning hours. It also has a great cord storage on the bottom which holds almost the entire cord (just the plug remains).
