Smeg CGF01CRUK Coffee Grinder, Aluminium Construction, 50's Retro Style, 8 Programme Settings and 3 Grinding Grades, Cream

Easy to use and looks great.

I've had this item in the light blue for about 6 months now—probably my least favourite of the colours but it was always significantly cheaper in that colour, and beggars can't be choosers. I liked it so much that I wanted a second one as I drink caffeinated in the morning and decaf through the day—so when a glossy black one came on offer I had to grab it. No more having to grind up a batch of one kind to store in the freezer! There are probably dozens of coffee grinders on the market that do just as good a job at a cheaper price, but it's the design that I really love about these. There are just two basic settings which control the fineness of the grind and the number of measures per press of the button. I like that if you press the button again after the grinding starts, you can stop it early. I like one-and-a-bit servings per mug. I wish there was a separate setting to finely adjust exactly how much constitutes a single measure, but there isn't, so I just press it for one measure, then afterwards give it a couple more taps in quick succession to push out a little more for my desired strength. I personally wouldn't pay full price for this, hence one star knocked off, but there is no knocking the quality of the product. It's solid and weighty, easy to wipe clean, has a decent sized bean cup at the top, and looks like pure class on the counter.

I'm very happy with this purchase. The grinder works perfectly and it's easy to use. I use it for each coffee as I like my espresso strong and full of aroma. Looks good too.

Exactly what I wanted, delivered fast.

Very easy to set up, easy to clean and just looks great in my kitchen.

It’s a solid machine and has held up so far. Can get a little messy and could grind a little finer but other grinders that do tend to gum up, so I’m pretty happy with it.

Looks great, grinds well. And as long as you remember before you press grind open the rubber seal first. Otherwise it goes everywhere .different grind selector. Fine medium etc. You can even grind straight into coffee holder. All in all I love it.

Smeg grinder looks amazing, but it doesn’t power up no matter how many times I press the start button or re-assemble the appliance.
