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.

This coffee bean grinder is high quality. Only plastic is the top part that holds the beans. The grind setting is perfection, no matter what setting - it's 'spot on'. The power button has been be held down for the duration of the grinding. That seems odd, but it doesn't make a negative impact. Just needs getting use to. The cup that catches the grinds is glass with a silicone top has an opening that fits percectly to the opening of the chute without a gap. There is also a regular silicone cap if you have extra coffee grinds left in the cup. The only thing that I dont like is the static with the grinds to the interior of the glass and the silicone tops. You can't tap the grinds off, or wipe it off with a dry cloth. You have to either rinse it, or use a damp papertowel to clean it. I give this grinder 9 1/2 out of 10. . . Had it not been for the static... I would give it a perfect 10.

The burr grinder does a great job with consistent grinds. But, I have now had 2 units fail after 3-4 weeks. The second lasted just over 1 month before the unit just stopped dead during grinding. Unfortunately, this is just a few days past the Amazon return policy end date so I am stuck with a $350 grinder that doesn't function. I will reach out to Technivorn but I don't think this device will work in the long run based on history so far. Do not recommend.

Technivorm knows coffee! Their attention to detail and quality in a no frills, but visually appealing package is top notch. I'd been in the market for a quality burr grinder for quite some time. I tried another major manufacturer's grinder, but was not happy with the coffee flavor, regardless of grind size. I finally decided to spring for the Moccamaster burr grinder, which compliments my Moccamaster coffee machine nicely. Aesthetically, it's a perfect match and it grinds coffee well too. The machine comes apart easily enough to clean out the hopper and burrs. The stepless adjustment for coarseness allows you to fine tune the grind size exactly how you prefer. The KM5 is relatively quiet and grinds coffee perfectly every time. While it's not the quietest on the market, it's quiet enough that you won't wake up others while preparing your morning brew. It is far quieter than the old blade grinder previously used. The biggest drawback is static generated during the grind process. However, the work around I have found that works best is not washing the glass grinds container after each use. I suppose the residual oils from previously ground coffee assists in limiting the cling. A gentle tap on the sides of the container over the coffee filter releases the few grinds clinging to the sides. Love my Technivorm Moccamaster coffee set up! You don't get automatic settings and timers with Technivorm products, but what you do get is a quality machine that does what it's supposed to and does it well...for a long time.

Since we recently purchased a Moccamaster coffee maker and love it, I decided to get the grinder to match and they look spectacular together. The grinder seems to be a step up from our Baratza Virtuoso. It also produces a more consistent grind which has resulted in an elevation of the quality of our morning brew, at least IMO. For those who don't like having to hold the button while it's operating, I say "forget it." It's really not a bother because it grinds fast -- about four times faster than our old grinder. Two things I'd point out though. The static is real and a problem IMO. I use a couple spritzes of water on the beans before grinding and that does the trick. I know not everyone agrees with this technique, but it works and I doubt that much water will destroy the burrs. The bean hopper has a very low slope and some of the beans get stuck and require a bit of coaxing. They really should fix this on future models. Again, not a huge deal. I hated the Ode grinder for that very reason, but don't seem to mind it now. Could be because of the clear hopper so you can see what's happening. I think it's a very solid and very heavy grinder and would buy it again. I got it on a BF deal, but then it got even cheaper the next week. I'm glad I got it and do think it's elevated the coffee from our Moccamaster.

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.
