Briel CG5B Java Heavy-Duty Coffee Grinder
Product Description
Store-bought coffee powder can't compare to the taste of beans freshly crushed by the professional Briel Java Grinder. The heavy-duty machine is equipped with super-hard burrs to completely pulverize the beans and 15 variable settings, from very fine to coarse. Features a 5.3-oz. hopper and a doser mechanism that dispenses a premeasured amount of grounds directly into the filter holder of your espresso machine. An interchangeable storage container locks into place with the touch of a button, and holds beans/espresso powder for later use. Includes measuring spoon. Black. Imported. 11Hx7-1/2Wx4L".

My grinder is 6 months old and already: (1) so much fine dust built up on the motor that it slowed almost to a crawl, (2) the doser fails to catch and deliver a dose, (3) too much coffee flies out onto the countertop, (4) the finely ground coffee builds up and eventually clogs the output from the grinder area to the doser area, and (5) the owner's manual is useless for information to take apart the grinder and clean it.
It works much better with the coarser gind for drip coffee, but stay away from it if you want to use it on weekends for espresso.

I got this grinder hoping for something that would grind coffee well for a french press. It did this just fine, but in the process it dusts a large portion of my kitchen counter with coffee grounds. This seems to stem from two problems. The first is that there is no seal between the grinder and the grounds container, which allows some coffee to fly out the sides when grinding. The second problem is that everything becomes so electrostaticly charged, that when you open the container the grounds scatter everywhere no matter how careful you are. I was very disappointed by this and am back to looking for a good grinder.

I loved this grinder when I first bought it. That it has an espresso doser was a big plus. And for a few months this was a great little machine. Soon, though, grounds started jamming up the burr. Then, when grinding fine coffee, it would block the exit into the ground coffee receptacle. It seemed like I was taking the thing apart every day. This caused the bean holder to crack, and now it's unusable. I guess I could get some of the parts repaired, but for ... bucks, I would expect a little more than 3 months of trouble free operation. Fortunately I have an old blade grinder available while I search for a really good, sturdy burr grinder...
