DeLonghi DCG39

Pros: Inexpensive, very attractive, streamlined

Cons: A little loud

The Bottom Line: If you want something pretty and functional, this is your machine!

Review: I actually received this electric bladed coffee grinder as a gift. I don't drink coffee, so if you are wanting to read a review about how the coffee tastes when retrieved from this unit, check out the other three reviews instead. If you want to know how ...

Pros: The indicator lights

Cons: Uneven grinding, grounds stick to interior

The Bottom Line: I recommend this grinder to anyone looking for a basic, utilitarian grinder that indicates when to stop grinding.

Review: This is a well-made, solid coffee grinder that has so far lasted me about 4 years without a problem. While it is not perfect, it performs well enough for me that I do not feel any pressing need to replace it. I especially like the fact that a light ...

Pros: Easy to use without mess

Cons: Burned out within a year - apparently a bean got wedged

The Bottom Line: This is a good choice for handheld grinders - at least, it worked well for me before its untimely death within a year

Review: Like other reviewers, we got this grinder after a fairly expensive burr grinder succumbed to an early death. Due to the "urgency" I had done no research on it, but ended up liking it for the following reasons: 1. The large amount of plastic on the ...

Pros: Convenient, Timing lights, Quieter than my burr grinders

Cons: None

Review: I bought this grinder to replace a Black & Decker burr grinder that burned out after a relatively short period of time. I tried to find another burr grinder with no success. But I actually love the coffee from this grinder. Perhaps this is because I ...

Pros: Nice consistent grinds, quiet, fast.

Cons: Burned out.

Review: I got the grinder for work when we lost access to our local Tim Hortons (Canada). I got the grinder thinking I was going to only do 3 full pots a day. After going for three weeks, 10+ pots a day, it finally decided to burn out. The grinding was very ...

Pros: Large capacity for ground coffee

Cons: Too much plastic in grind area.

The Bottom Line: To much plastic in grind area.....deep cavity hard to clean and lid hard to clean. Features: like lights for grind consistency and cup capacity dial are effectively useless.

Review: It grinds coffee beans, but it is difficult to empty ground coffee (due to large plastic area in the interior) and the deep cavity is difficult to clean. Static electricity and large amount of plastic in cavity cause the ground coffee to cling to sides....

Pros: Shape makes it easy to hold. Cord winds up manually for storage.

Cons: The grind consistency lights seem to be there for looks alone.

Review: I received this coffee grinder as a wedding gift a few months ago and have been using it regularly since then. The lights on the grinder are supposed to help you grind your beans properly according to the number of cups that you select. ...

Pros: looks sharp, tells you when coffee is done grinding

Cons: short life, noisy

Review: i bought this grinder because it looked so nice and the reviews were about as good as any reasonably-priced grinder's. let me just say, when this grinder worked it was great. the lights let you know when your coffee is ground to the fineness you want. ...
