Krups GVX2-12 Burr Grinder: An Exercise in Futility

 

BACKGROUNDI purchased a Krups GVX2-12 burr grinder from Boca Java, a custom coffee roaster in Florida that provides a coffee delivery service -- a very good company, by the way. Boca Java was converting their rewards system to cash rebates ...

High class looks. An excellent doorstop

Poor engineering design. Functions poorly at grinding coffee

Big disappointment

 

Big disappointment

I bought the Krups GVX2-12 and returned it within one week. The only good thing I can say about it is that it was quiet, much more quiet than the Cuisnart burr mill grinder that I had and which died after about 3-years of daily use. The bad: the...

Stay AWAY from this little thing- I would give it barely one star. It was nice for the first month or two then it just got clogged. I am handy with mechanics so I was able to disassemble and reassemble the thing, but then a month later the same...

Another power button break, but got it working again.

 

Another power button break, but got it working again.

I never had a problem with grind settings, grind jams, power, etc. Other than the fact that it spit out grinds from the tiny space between the unit and the catchment cup and made a mess on my counter, things were fine. That was until this weekend...

looks nice and works okay, but struggles with fine grind setting

We've been using this for about 2 years. The positives: The grinder works pretty well for most beans when the grind is set to medium to course. It grinds the beans with good consistency(at least on the course setting). The timer seems to be accurate....

Pretty disappointing

I owned this grinder for about a year. The grinder never adequately provided a coarse enough grind for my french press and I constantly had to shake it to coax the beans down into the grinder. It was a lot of work. I had been planning on buying a...

Works well after a year and a half

I got this as birthday gift in July '08. I grind about 6 T of coffee at a time each of three to five days a week, more like 12 T in summer when I'm cold-brewing. I only press in a Bodum, so I always use the coarsest grind and can't speak to any other...
