49520 KM5 Burr Coffee c, Polished Silver

Sept 2024 - I just ordered this grinder from Amazon last week and have only been using it for about 4 days now - however I really like it. I had been using the Fellow Ode grinder for last couple years - which a friend had given me. It worked fine - liked the design, was fairly quiet however it had many things I didn't like about it. Moving to this new grinder is like night and day - some of the benefits over my old grinder: 1. Match my moccamaster brewer - so they are cohesive. 2. Much larger hopper that has enough weight from the beans to ensure the fall down into the grinder without always having to be pushed like my older grinder 3. About the same noise level - maybe a little louder but not much 4. Solid build - high quality feel to it 5. best of all - super clean output - my old grinder did not have a good seal between the grinder shoot and the container so my counter top was always getting coffee grounds on it - hated that! This grinder has a nice tight seal between the rubber container top and the chute - so you don't get all kinds of debris flying everywhere making for a messy counter - zero debris = clean counter top! My old grinder had an auto stop feature - but this grinder requires you to keep pressing the power button to grind - that's fine with me - I kind of enjoy watching the grounds filling the container especially at the high rate this machine grinds. The grounds are all very uniform also - very consistent.

Technivorm did again. They took the concept of grinding coffee stripped off all the bells and whistles of modern appliances and focused on building a really really good coffee grinder. Beans in and press the button, it's dead simple to use. The grind setting will accommodate drip coffee makers, french press and even percolators. Grinding for espresso machines isn't a thing in the Technivorm universe though and if this is what you're looking for then check out the Baratza and Breville grinders. The KM5 is reasonably quiet. I say this because my previous coffee grinder was blade grinder that would wake up the entire house. The sound on the KM5 has a much lower pitch that doesn't shatter nerves. The grind quality is very consistent due to the flat steel burrs and the bean hopper holds enough beans to get me through a week of morning coffee. Build quality is excellent. The case is all metal and is surprisingly heavy coming in at 10 lbs. There's a bit of a static issue with the grounds but this issue can be resolved with a couple of drops of water over the beans in the hopper. If you want to get fancy you can get a water mister and give the beans a quick spritz and stir and that will stop the static in its tracks. (This trick works most other grinders too.) One one last thing I would comment on is the lack of color options. It would have been nice if Technivorm had the same color options as their coffee brewers. I have a Moccamaster KBGV that's midnight blue and my grinder is the most unexciting shade of white. My OCD self will be grinding on this issue every time I enter the kitchen. But then again this is actually a good problem to have. I could be drinking out of a Keurig.

Unfortunately, the quality of this Moccamaster Burr Coffee grinder does not come close to the quality of Moccamaster's coffee maker. When I received this coffee grinder, it was heavy and appeared to be well made...wrong! Owned for just one week, loaded the hopper with it's FIRST batch of fresh coffee beans, within less than a minute, it locked up, cleared the beans, unscrewed the hopper, no luck. So I re-boxed the grinder and returned to the seller at my cost. Seller rep received and instead of accepting the locked grinder, they blamed me and said that the grinder had what appeared to be "dirt" in the grinder that indicated to them that the grinder showed signs of "previous use". I only owned it a week! If it showed signs of previous use, then I was sold a previously used grinder! I appealed, but no luck. Received 50% of what I paid ($300), only $150 on the return and shipping for me was $37 UPS, so in the end, lost cause. Going with a blade grinder instead. Moccamaster needs to go back to the drawing board...

Have had the Moccamaster CDT Grand coffee maker for going on seven years with no problems. Been using a Krups Burr grinder with the Moccasmaster until recently. THIS Moccamaster burr grinder is far superior to the Krups unit in the quality of the grind and overall build quality. You will not be disappointed. Perhaps a glass hopper would be the only improvement to extend longevity, that is literally it on suggested improvements. Moccamaster has been fabulous to work with on replacement parts over the years versus just tossing out competing brands when parts fail. Support the best folks! 02202025 In use for over two months. Follow up is key, folks. This superb burr grinder does a great job and grinds well with selected settings. Not seeing the replacement glass receptacle on the Moccamaster USA website. We buy Moccamaster primarily (including their Kleer Kanteen insulated tumblers...) because parts are supposedly replaceable should they wear out or, God forbid, break from usage. Let's see the glass coffee ground receptacle become available Moccamaster and we will follow up with a new rating. 05272025 Back again. No major problems as of this writing, I will be back should ANY failures occur. This grinder still works fabulously albeit the "static magnetism" of the fresh grounds. Well built, used, many times, multiple times per day. Look for follow up when things go well (and do not...) We have had Moccamaster equipment in daily usage since 2017 without fail. Still awaiting the replacement grounds container to become available, none yet per OEM website. 12242025 Replacement grounds container AND plastic bean bin/hopper are both available at this time. Solid five stars NOW! Unit still works fabulously for a houseful of coffee swilling snobs and their guests.

Recibí el molino y al menos en apariencia física la calidad es mejor de la que esperaba, se nota firme y duradero. Solo el problema de que no llegaron las cuatro gomas que van en la parte inferior a forma de patitas, pues sólo llegaron tres y no se como pedir o reclamar esa faltante. Por lo pronto lo instalaré sin esas 4 gomas pero no esperaba algo así de un producto de tan prestigiada marca. No se si alguien lo sacó antes de la caja y se les quedó una patita y así me lo mandaron pero si falta esa patita. Espero usarlo pronto y que funcione bien.
