I can not bring myself to pay $ 100 for just a grinder. There are many $ 20 – $ 30 models, but not sure which is most reliable. Thanks!

    I have 2 Krups (I have a split level townhouse, and have coffee makers in both of my bathrooms – you know – like the hotel affect).

    I absolutely LOVE them. NOW – beaware, they make several kinds – I would go to Macy’s or Linens N’ Things (they also sell the “cheaper” models at Target/ Walmart. NO NO!

    But yeah, for around $40, that little puppy will last years.

    BTY – I’ve had both of mine now for about 10 years, and they are STILL going strong.

    I am a former chef from Canada and bought mine at my local WalMart, and paid only $15 CND, and had a grinder with a resevoir type given to me.

    I actually bought 2, I use one for coffee and the other for spices, when I make my curry powder, and grind my whole spices.

    One thing you have remember is they crush it more than grind so you have to make sure it grind right as fine as it will go, I buy my coffee beans at my local grocery store, I make a mixture of Columbian, Costa Rican, Guatemalan, a bit of Presidents blend and then a smidge of either espresso or viennese.

    Some people say do not keep you beans cold or in the freezer, but as they spoil fast, and with them being cold they bloom in the brewing process slower and do not run out of flavour so quickly
