TRU Large Capacity Conical Burr Grinder

Pros: 1. quiet... definitely more quiet than other brands of similar price range... not loud at all 2. fine tuned ground selection and easy to change with a twist 3. very easy and fairly mess-free grounds collection cup for pouring into a filter 4. compact size... fits neatly behind stuff on counter 5. attractive look Cons: 1. you have to SHAKE IT EVERY TIME to get the beans to fall down into the spinning burr grinder... the hopper isn't shaped like a cone like most grinders and this results in beans settling horizontally and not responding to gravity enough. This puts this item into a FAIL score 2. the timer makes zero sense... the default 10 seconds barely makes enough for a single serve, and there is no way to change the default to what works for you... this means you have to change the timer EVERY SINGLE TIME you want coffee that's 2 cups or more... it would make much more sense to have a physical setting (not digital) that stays the same as you like it 3. it beeps, which is also another option you cannot turn off. I can HEAR the grinder when it stops, I don't need a mandatory beeping sound

I ordered this a month ago. It will grind and then stop, I have to take it apart and clean it out then it will work a short time. The last use, I cleaned it out, following the directions using the brush, wiping out and cleaning the blade area with a towel, and now the unit just blinks. It will not reset to use. The manual offers no assistance on this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got this I figured it would just be great way to start using coffee beans, instead of preground coffee. I didnt think it would change the taste as much as it did! Fresh ground coffee from this TRU Large Capacity Burr Grinder beats out any brand of pre-ground coffee, no questions asked. it is user friendly (meaning my bone head self could work it no problem) and has made drinking coffee completely different from before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time using a grinder very interesting. It is noisy. I will say it gives you different options of coarseness for the coffee beans. You can make a huge amount at a time but you have to be careful on overflowing. I will say the coffee does taste a little bit different when freshly ground compared to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always been interested in grinding my own coffee and this grinder has been easy and fun to use. I love that you can select your desired coarseness and grind time. The stainless steel burrs grind the beans to perfection. You can remove the ground bin for easy transport. The large removable hopper holds up to 20 oz and also has a UV blocking tint to maintain freshness. Digital countdown shows how much grind time is left. Easy removable burrs for cleaning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the TRU burr grinder for about 3 weeks now and it has served me well. I've used it a few times to create a fine grind (for V60) but mostly on a coarse setting for French Press. The machine grinds fairly evenly for its price point. The only hang up I have is that the timer resets to 10 seconds every time you use it. I need 12 seconds so I have to manually start it over or press the time a few times to get the exact amount, every time. Since I use it multiple times a day for two people, it does get tiring. The machine also tilts back when you press the buttons because it's so light. Because of this, you have to hold it with two hands to keep it in place while you make your selections with the buttons.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our new Burr Grinder. I love that I can grind at any time I want and store it away for future use. The grind is the perfect consistency each time too. It's a great quality product. It is not too bulky to keep on the countertop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a group at work who are just beginning to become coffee connoisseurs. The Tru Burr Grinder is the perfect addition to our break room. We have used it to experiment with a number of different beans in the last few weeks and have determined it to be a real plus to brewing the perfect cup of coffee. We go through several pots of coffee a day, so the large capacity has truly been a time saver.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The TRU Large Capacity Burr Grinder has been a great addition to my home coffee bar. Right out the box the grinder is ready for use. I love the 30 coarseness adjustment levels for making the perfect cup of coffee for anything between French press and espresso. Instructions are clear and easy to understand. Cleaning is an absolute breeze and the sleek design makes it a wonderful addition to my kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently we got a large Capacity Burr Grinder. It's perfect for grinding a 1lb. package of coffee at once. And I love that you can change the grind, depending on how you are going to brew the coffee. Easy to use, easy to clean, and it stores away easily as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grinder is really nice in size. It can hold a lot of grounds and that nice because there is always some ready when we want to make coffee. It’s kind of loud so I didn’t like that part but other than that it’s a great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've heard that fresh ground coffee tastes better but I never really believed it. Then I had some at a friend's house and realized it is. So I got this little grinder and bought so beans of my favorite coffee and tried it out. It really does make a difference. The coffee has a richer and fuller flavor. Ive been using the grinder for a couple weeks now and I haven't has any problems with it. It seems to be well made and sturdy. I'm happy with this grinder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] TRU Large Capacity Burr Coffee Grinder is LIFE!!! It grinds your beans quickly and to perfection! You can choose a grind anywhere between course and fine with a simple twist. This couldn't be any easier or faster. The large capacity allows for single cup or full pot quantities which is perfect for me since I use several brewing methods. Get this grinder! You will love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a huge coffee lover. I have a coffee bar in my kitchen. I have a French press , expresso machine, regular drip coffee and a couple of different pods machines. This is the perfect addition to my coffee bar. I love being able to grind my own beans because I have all these different coffee makers. You can smell the aroma from the coffee beans. It’s easy to use and easy to keep clean and makes your coffee the freshest it can get. I 100% recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the fresh taste of freshly ground coffee beans and this machine does a lovely job of it! You can choose how finely you’d like it ground. It’s easy to operate and is compact for counter storage. A great cup of coffee starts with this grinder!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a little single serve grinder which was annoying because had to pour the beans in daily. Like that can put a small bag in here and grind for days and doesnt even take up that much more room. It's relatively quiet, easy to use and not messy. Happy with all the settings to get very fine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it holds a bit of coffee. It is nice that you choose how you want the coffee beans grinded whether it is coarse or fine. i like that instead of pressing down on it you can instead control how many seconds it grinds the coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've owned several coffee grinders, and this one is towards the top of the pack. They all make noise...but this one is reasonably quite and does not have much vibration. It is solidly built and super easy to use. Just plug it in, fill the hopper, turn the top to your preference, set the time (comes preset to 10 seconds) and press go! It does seem to grind a bit slower and you have to turn it more towards "fine" to get my to my preferred consistency. One annoyance... when adjusting the time, you adjust one 10th of a second at a time. So you to push the button a lot to switch between cup quantities. You should be able to hold the button in and go into " fast" mode (like setting an alarm clock) It also came with 2 black plastic rings...No idea what they are? No mention on the box or in the instructions and they do not seem to fit this grinder. Other than that, it is a well made solid and attractive grinder!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been looking for the right coffee grinder and I’m glad I’ve found it with this TRU grinder. From opening up the packaging I knew this was going to be great quality. I appreciate the 30 grind settings so that you can get the perfect blend of coffee whether coarse or fine for those espressos. Personally I pull shots of espresso and the coffee I’ve ground with this machine has been superb and I will continue to use it day and day out. Overall really happy and would recommend this grinder if you’re in the market for one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is just what I wanted in order to buy all the wonderful coffee in the store that is not ground. There are only so many coffees that are ground in the stores so this product is my secret weapon.
