This is my first experience grinding my own coffee beans and I'm loving it! I discovered a local home-based coffee bean roaster and it has really made a difference in my coffee game. I highly recommend this grinder. I chose the red color and it's really beautiful.

Spice grinder

Review by Honora / (Posted on 10/28/2023)

The exterior texture provides a better grip, but the lid doesn't fit securely. You'll need to hold it firmly to prevent spills. This grinder seems best for beginners, and it's a plus that it comes in a cute red color.

Compact yet fantastic grinder

Review by Jason / (Posted on 10/17/2023)

This grinder performs well and is not noisy. However, it is smaller than expected, only fitting about 8 spoonfuls of coffee beans at a time. It is great for those who like to grind coffee just before brewing, but not ideal for those who need to grind larger quantities. It only has one grind setting, so you'll need to adjust the grind time for your desired coarseness. Overall, I am happy with the product.

Adore my tiny Courant

Review by CeeCee / (Posted on 10/10/2023)

I love using this Courant grinder to cook all my meals. It's so easy to grind bulk spices like coriander, fennel, fenugreek, and peppercorns. Cleaning is a breeze with a damp towel or by using the squishy white bread trick. I used my last grinder for years until the motor burnt out, but I quickly replaced it with another one. The red color is perfect for my kitchen.

grinder appears good, functions effectively

Review by K / (Posted on 9/4/2023)

I bought this cute little grinder in red and it looks great on my counter. It grinds the beans quickly and evenly and is pretty quiet. The only downside is the static build-up during grinding, as other reviewers have mentioned. It can get messy when you open the lid with the ground coffee sticking to the sides and lid. I usually tap the lid a few times before opening to try and knock some of it off. However, overall I'm happy with my purchase and think the price is reasonable. It's a good smaller size, quiet, lightweight yet feels sturdy. The available color options are a nice change from the usual black, white or stainless steel appliances.

It works very well!

Review by Roxanne / (Posted on 3/8/2023)

I was looking all over for an affordable, but efficient coffee grinder until I stumbled upon this one. Although the vibrant colors and attractive design were what initially caught my eye, I decided to trust the few reviews on this one and get it. Two months in, the product has no issues grinding coffee beans on the occasion.

The grinder can only hold about a 1/4 cup of beans and pulses with each press(You might need to do several pulses to get everything ground up), so this is enough for about 1 standard cup of coffee. The only thing that may be an issue for some users is cleaning the insides of the plastic cover. It's hard to reach and you'll need some sort of brush to get rid of any excess ground. Aside from that, this cute and simple grinder does it's job at a great price!

Charming little grinder - still going strong after 3.5 years!

Review by Colleen / (Posted on 2/20/2023)

I am very impressed with the performance of this grinder. I purchased it in July 2019 and have been using it regularly since then, often making coffee every morning. While it may not be a top-of-the-line product, it is perfect for anyone looking to grind whole beans. I chose this grinder for my apartment due to its compact size, as I didn't want something bulky taking up space on my countertop. It is also conveniently portable, as I often take it with me when staying at an Airbnb for the weekend. After 3 and 1/2 years of use, I have noticed that the blades are starting to wear down, but given the amount of use, I would happily purchase this grinder again.

Review by Menino / (Posted on 1/13/2023)

I purchased this coffee grinder as a Christmas gift for my husband, who is a coffee enthusiast. He absolutely loved it. I chose the black model with the red button because I thought the design was attractive. The rubber texture provides a comfortable and secure grip. The pulse button is very user-friendly, requiring only a gentle press to grind anything. We have used it for both coffee beans and nutmeg seeds, producing beautifully fine grinds for espresso, Italian, and Spanish-style coffee. The only improvement I would suggest is including a small brush for cleaning the inside, but overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase and would buy it again.

Inconsistent grinding but good value

Review by Bobby / (Posted on 8/17/2022)

I use this daily to grind 2 tablespoons of coffee, and even at that low level, the grind is inconsistent. There are fine powder and coarse grind portions. I think it may be due to the small quantity of beans I use. If I grind less to have less fine powder, then I end up with large chunks. However, it's a good deal and I appreciate the safety feature where only the button pushes a hidden trigger that can't be accidentally activated unless something like a paperclip is inserted.

Efficiently grinds coffee beans

Review by Satisfied / (Posted on 7/17/2022)

The flavor of the coffee depends on the type of beans used. It grinds the beans to powder with just a few taps on top, but only grinds about 2 tablespoons at a time. If you try to grind more, the hot water may cause the grinds to spill over the sides. It is easy to clean with just a napkin, no need to run it under water. It works well for both decaf and regular grind beans, and it's small enough to fit nicely on the countertop. Really makes the ground beans smell delicious.

High-quality coffee grinder

Review by Kirk / (Posted on 3/11/2022)

I didn't buy this product because of reviews, but because I'm a fan of Courant. The stainless steel is stain-free, the blades are sharp, and it's easy to hold. The cord stows in the bottom and is a comfortable length. My only issue is the button on the lid, which took me a while to figure out is by design. Pushing the button out slightly and then down turns the grinder on, rather than just pushing straight down like other grinders. It seems to be a safety feature, but it's something to be aware of when using it for the first time.

This coffee grinder is effective and fast, although it is a bit loud. The transparent lid is a useful feature for monitoring the grinding process, but it can become foggy from the particles.

Review by suzanne / (Posted on 10/10/2020)

This coffee grinder is easy to use and quieter than my old one.

I recently bought my first coffee bean grinder after switching to fresh whole beans. It's simple to use - just plug it in, fill it with beans, close the lid, and press the button.

I have found this grinder to be very nice after using it to chop many beans for brews. Its small form and sleek design look great on the counter. I chose the steel variant over plastic and am glad I did. It arrived and was pleasantly surprised that it was not faux steel, but actual metal. I like to avoid using more plastic when possible. It grinds the beans very well, but it can be annoying to clean because the grinding part does not separate from the unit. The reservoir holds about 35 grams of beans without reducing its efficacy too much. I usually only use 21 grams for two cups of coffee, so the limitation is fine for me.

Review by Miranda / (Posted on 8/4/2020)

This grinder is a good basic option for coffee. It has a nice appearance, is compact, and not very loud. The cord tucks underneath, but there is some static in the lid, causing grounds to fall out when you open it. It will also spill if filled past the fill line. The static issue varies with different coffee beans, and the bean capacity is on the small side. It works well for a French press, producing a nice coarse grind in about 11-12 seconds for a full chamber. If you're concerned about stray grounds and want a larger chamber, this may not be the best option for you.

You've got the French Press, why not also grab the grinder?

Review by Sal / (Posted on 2/12/2020)

I chose this grinder because it matches my 32oz french press and functions well with it. I fill the grinder almost to capacity to get the exact amount of coffee I need for one press. I pulse for a few seconds, tap the grinder, check the coarseness, and pulse again if needed. The coarseness can be uneven because I fill the grinder nearly to the top, but tapping it halfway helps. I don't clean it often, just tap the grounds directly into the press and let whatever stays mix with the next batch. If you want a precise, uniform grinder, this is not for you. But if you're happy to just eye it, then this should be it.

This coffee grinder works well as long as you don't overfill it. Be careful when opening it because grounds can spill.

It also looks nice on the counter.

Stylish personal grinder for your kitchen!

Review by Austin / (Posted on 1/28/2017)

This personal grinder is great for small amounts of coffee grounds. The blade is effective for morning use and consistently grinds well. It may show some inconsistencies when using larger batches, but it's ideal for making coffee for one or two people. When I need a large amount ground up, I go to a local roaster. Some tips for using this grinder include using small amounts at a time and using specific bursts for different grind sizes. One possible improvement could be to improve the seal between the lid and the machine to prevent grounds from getting stuck between them.

Affordable Performance with Minimal Uniformity Requirement, ON/OFF Control Preferred

Review by Aphrael / (Posted on 1/6/2017)

I have used a few different economy electric blade grinders, including Oster, Krupps, Mr. Coffee, and Courant . They all grind coffee similarly, although the grind is not as uniform as a burr grinder. They are convenient and fast, but the blades do get dull after a while. I end up buying a new one about once a year. They are all noisy and have a safety feature to prevent accidents and motor burnout.

I am currently using the Courant grinder and am reasonably satisfied with it. It has a deeper bowl and is heavier, suggesting a more robust motor. However, the non-removable bowl makes it harder to clean and the cover design can be messy.

I prefer this grinder because of the on/off switch design which allows me to hold it down with a weight, freeing up my hands. It does the job while I prepare other parts of the coffee. Cleaning is easy as I only use it for coffee beans and can simply use a paper towel to wipe it out. Overall, I am happy with this grinder.

Grinding my coffee! Drip, French Press, Percolator. Works great!

Review by petleopard / (Posted on 6/15/2015)

After reading all the customer reviews, I can confidently say that the Courant blade grinder does a great job of grinding my coffee beans every morning. Despite some complaints about static, uneven grinds, and mess when uncapping it, I have not experienced any major issues. It does release some bean dust when removing the cap, but this is easily cleaned up. I have owned both a fancy burr grinder and a Krups blade grinder in the past, and I can say that the Courant grinder gets the job done just as well. Overall, I am very satisfied with its performance.

Works okay.

Good product but doesn't hold as much as other ones I have had so you need two grinds for 1 pot.

Grinds pepper, but...

Review by Kristen / (Posted on 4/26/2012)

Bought to grind pepper.

Does grind the pepper.
Does look cute.

Doesn't hold much.
Doesn't produce even grind.

If you like your pepper ground to dust, you might like this.

Perfect for use with a drip coffee maker or French press,

Review by RS / (Posted on 3/27/2012)

This grinder is all you need for standard drip coffee makers or French presses, without the need to spend extra on a burr grinder. It can achieve a fine grind quickly and a coarse grind with just a few pulses. While the grinds may not be perfectly even, it gets the job done smoothly and quietly. It's sleek, attractive, and doesn't take up much space. The rubber outer shell makes it easy to grip, and the easy-touch grind button is convenient. The cord can be neatly rolled up underneath, and clean-up is simple with just a paper towel. Overall, this blade grinder is highly recommended.

Top Choice So Far

Review by Jasper / (Posted on 8/27/2011)

I have had several coffee/spice grinders over the years, and this one is my favorite. The positioning of the blades in relation to the metal grinding cup is perfect. Some grinders have their blades set too high or too low, causing issues with grinding small items like chia seeds. The Courant does not have these problems. I only use it for seeds and spices, so I can't speak to its performance with coffee, but for my needs, it works perfectly every time. It is quick, usually taking only 5 to 10 seconds to grind most seeds and spices to a fine powder. It is also quiet, or even quieter than other grinders I've used. I highly recommend it.

Thirty-Six-Inch Cord: Definitely Not Six-Inch.

Review by Bob / (Posted on 8/2/2011)

I bought this coffee grinder for its lightweight design, grippy rubber outer covering, and my positive experiences with other Courant grinders. The short cord mentioned in reviews didn't bother me too much, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the cord was actually longer than expected. The grinder does a great job at grinding coffee and is faster, more efficient, and quieter than other blade grinders I've used. After using it more, I'm even more impressed with its performance. It produces a nice, even grind in 30 seconds and handles darker roast beans well. I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others.

Grinder is not recommended for frequent use - only suitable for occasional use

Review by Steve / (Posted on 6/4/2011)

I'm changing my original review of this grinder. It's not just the coffee dust that causes it to fail after a month of daily use, it's the cheap and fragile internal components. I took it apart and found that the micro switch is faulty and poorly made. It costs just 19 cents for the manufacturer to buy, and I can't get current to run through it. It seems like the company is hoping to sell a lot of grinders to people who only use them occasionally, knowing that the parts won't hold up to daily use. A replacement switch costs close to $20, which is the same as the price of the grinder. It's cheap and not reliable for anything other than light occasional use.
