CoffeeKid - Newbies' Guide to Coffee & Espresso Equipment (#)

  „A blade grinder is possible for non espresso drinks but cannot provide the consistency or cut necessary for other than an occasional lucky espresso shot. Consider a blade grinder a last resort for non-espresso, and don't consider it at all if a top grade cup of coffee or espresso shot is what you are seeking.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „The timer shuts the grinder off automatically. These machines produce a more consistent grind than the cheaper electric blade grinders, they usually do not have to be fussed over while they grind, and they definitely do not need to be cranked by hand. You must be prepared, however, to clean the aperture for the ground coffee after every third or fourth use (some coffee stores sell a brush for this purpose; a small, stiff paintbrush works fine), and periodically open the grinder and clean the burrs. If you grind oily dark roasts, you may find that a brush is not enough for cleaning your grinder; you may have to literally carve the caked coffee from parts of your grinder when you carry out a major cleaning.“
