I bought an early version of this model called 'Cafe Series' in 2011 and to this day in 2025, it grinds my coffee to perfection. The best coffee grinder, ever.

I recently upgraded my coffee machine from one with an inbuilt grinder to a more premium model without (Sunbeam EMM7200BKK). This grinder is the perfect companion, it has a matching modern stealthy look and quite a small footprint, which is great for my kitchen in which space is quite limited. It performs well, distributing an even and consistent grind. It does of course take a few uses to find your optimum setting and perfect the technique. Practice (and patience) makes perfect! Be aware that grind coarseness is only part of the puzzle - the quality of the espresso shot is also affected by your choice of beans, volume, tamp technique and pressure. I have found my perfect grind setting for a double-shot to be 10. I grind about 2/3 of the required amount into the head, tamp it a little less than full pressure, add the rest of the ground beans then tamp full whack. This gets the pressure guage on my machine in the perfect range. Handy tip: tilt the head handle upwards while grinding, and give the nozzle a little tap with your finger before pulling the head away - this prevents any ground beans from spilling out onto the rubber mat below. Overall this is a great appliance, at a very good price point. I 100% recommend.

Excellent grinder very solid, I use it every day. Highly recommend it. Delivery time was excellent.
