DeLonghi Coffee Grinder

DeLonghi Coffee Grinder

I bought this on a Thursday to replace an old grinder that had finally given up its ghost. I took it back to Lakeland the following Tuesday (no quibbles, they took it back) because I believe it is not fit for purpose. It was difficult to fit the interlocking lid correctly, the ON button on top was very difficult to press, and worst of all, it ALWAYS left about half a scoop of beans only very coarsely ground in the bottom. Attempts to regrind these partially ground beans always failed, because there is too much space between the blades and the bottom of the cup. Since I bought it for grinding espresso, this wasn't much use. I bought the more expensive Krups grinder instead - it's much better than this. This might be OK if what you want is a nut grinder for coarsely chopping nuts.

Very difficult to use, lock does not want to engage without considerable pressure. Have spoken to Customer Services and am returning it. Assume it is defective, but have asked you to test one yourself and see. Also, the cleaning instructions are less than helpful. They supply pretty little brush to brush out container. This builds up a static charge and it's almost impossible to actually get the residue out of the container. As the manufacturers say do not wash this component one will never be able to get it clean!

I was very disappointed with this product. It was a real pain to keep clean and didn't perform as well as I had hoped so I took it back and exchanged it for the Krups version which is super.
