Kitchen & Housewares Mr. Coffee BMX3 Burr Mill
- Well Worth the CostThis coffee grinder does a very nice job of storing and grinding beans every morning, The size of the bean hopper is just right since you don't want to have your beans exposed to air for too long. The adjustment dials are very easy to use. It might take a week or so to figure out the best combination of grind size and amount that suits you. Not so big that it takes up a lot of space and looks good enough to leave out on the counter.
My only complaints: It is VERY loud. Cleaning is a pain especially since it is difficult getting my hands/fingers inside the hopper to remove the burr cap. Finally, it runs it walks... Meaning it vibrates so much that the thing starts to walk along my countertop. Not so bad that it may fall off but enough to make you think about it especially if you are grinding a lot of beans.
Overall thoug a very good buy at $25 especially when you compare it many of the burr grinders that sell for more than 3x the cost. Heck, if it breaks after a year you can buy another one and still be ahead.

- Value Burr MillAfter shopping for a coffee mill, and rejecting the "food processor" types, I was resigned to paying an exhorbitant price for burr type grinder. I then came upon the Mr. Coffee BMX3 (on Amazon). Here was a small electric mill at a reasonable price. It has served us well.

- POSUsed it only about once a week for three months and then it just stopped working. When it did work it got ground coffee dust all over the counter and was noisy enough to wake others in the house (and the bedrooms are upstairs). The bottom line in my opinion is that it's a piece of junk and I would recommend you spend your money on a better appliance. As for me, I've decided on the Breville. Good luck.

- Great product, great price, great purchase!I think I bought this product for a little over 20 dollars. I think within a two week period I already got my money's worth out of it. This is by far the best grinder I saw for the price point. It arrived promptly after I ordered it and was packed in it's original box as if I picked it off the shelf in a store. Thank you!

- Inexpensive, works great!Grant it, this is our first conical burr grinder - but we love it. It is so much less messy than our Braun grinder was and the grinding method has definitely improved the taste of our coffee. If you're on a budget, this is a great first step into the burr world and the footprint on your counter top will be rather small as well. Admittedly, we have had to make some adjustments so that the espresso grind is smaller; but, other than that it was just what we needed.
