Customer Review: Proctor Silex E160B Fresh Grind Coffee Grinder
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband loved this coffee grinder. Not too complicated for him but at the same time does a just what we want it too!Customer Review: works fine and good value for money
Summary: 4 Stars
Neat little grinder. I bought it to wet grind spice mixes and poppy seeds for Indian gravies. It works perfectly fine. Only thing I wish now is, if the container was a little bigger, loading and unloading would have been easier. Also cleaning underneath the blades is not very easy. Overall it is good value for money. Customer Review: Reliable grinder!

I have been using one of these for almost 3 years now to grind flax seed. It has been so reliable that I just bought one for a friend. Customer Review: Perfect for grinding Pills
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to grind pills everyday and was mashing them with a knife handle. Using this product has been soooo much easier. It is done in an instant and takes no muscle. It does a fine job of grinding.Customer Review: The perfect grinder for someone who uses a small french press
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of negative reviews, which tells me that the key thing in getting this grinder is managing your expectations. I gave it 5 stars and I stick by it.
First, Yes... it is small. I use a French press and make enough coffee for two cups. This is perfect and then some. If you want a grinder that is for much larger pots, then this is not the right grinder for you.
ALSO, if you are retarded, then you won't quite understand why the lid is circular with one flat section. That will particularly be the case if you bought this thinking you were going to grind coffee adequate for a 10 cup pot.
So why is this a 5 star coffee grinder?
BECAUSE of the design. If you are using this for small pots of coffee, then you will realize that the flat portion allows for you to set the grounds down. It also makes POURING the grinds easier somehow. I have a grinder with a flat top and the grounds don't quite fall out as nicely as they do out of this rounded top. I think it has to do with how coffee grains fill into corners.
ALSO, the windy cord thing, though a it takes a bit of getting use to, is a wonderful feature for storage.
The last reason I would recommend this has to do with my favorite technique for getting all the grounds out into the lid. I usually turn the grinder upside down and hit the grinder 1 more time so that the grinding/wind moves all the grounds from the grinder into the lid. I tried this with a more typically designed grinder and had far more grounds stay in the grinder.
Highly recommended for coffee or cinnamon sticks. I have had mine for over 5 years and it is still kicking.
