Wahl James Martin ZX595 Mini Grinder, Electric Grinders Ideal for Coffee, Nuts and Spices, Safety Lock-in Lid, Brushed Stainless Steel, 150W, Bullet Design, Corded, Silver, Capacity 70 g

I bought this to got with a whole spice kit for my wife so she could start cooking Indian food from scratch, it's brilliant works on all of the larger spaces and makes life easier than doing it manually

My old grinder broke spectacularly and I simply wanted a cheapish replacement, as my needs are simple: put beans in, press button, grind coffee, empty out. So I clicked through the alternatives offered by Amazon and saw this Wahl grinder that seemed to fit the bill. The reviews, overall, seemed good and the price was enticingly low, especially if you factor in free delivery. It arrived within three or four days and was smaller than I had anticipated but, in many ways, that was advantageous. The grinding mechanism itself still perplexes me, as I can't figure out how it works -- the "blade" is completely blunt yet turns coffee beans almost instantly into a very fine grind; just perfect. I like my coffee strong and I think you'd be able to make 4-5 strong cups from the amount of beans you could fit into the stainless steel bowl at the top of the machine. Simple to clean, you only need to wipe the inside with some kitchen paper or a damp cloth, and it does everything it says on the box. I use it almost every day and would expect it to last me a couple of years if treated with respect. So far I would have to say it's pretty much perfect and, at the price, very much a bargain. Heartily recommended.

Having used this product i can say i was very pleased with . Easy to use and ground the coffee beans with ease. Yes i would recommend this product.

Amazing product

Very good

Useful kitchen helper, can grind not only coffee...

Compact and easy to use, it won't eat up lots of surface space. So simple is the design that Wahl forewent any instructions. Quite annoying really, but actually, it's child's play. Plug it in, add your coffee/spices, and press the button. There's no control in regards how fine your grind will be but the longer you press/pulse, the finer the grind. The see-through window is thus very handy. They could advise novices like me you how many beans make a cup, but that's all guesswork. It handled my first batch of coffee easily, within seconds I had a fine ground. Just what you need when you're making coffee fresh and not in big batches. As I use both a percolator and a french press, this is not an issue. I realise for coffee, a burr grinder is all the rage, but for unfussy coffee lovers, this does the job very well. As for my first batch of nuts (almonds), forget it. They do warn you that a paste will form due to the oiliness of nuts, but what they fail to mention are the fumes telling you that the little 150w motor is rather unhappy. I could only grind these almonds in small tablespoon measures, so it was not worth the trouble. My recipe required 50g, this took me 10 minutes. (A trick to get a quicker grind is to add a pinch of flour with your nuts to soak up some oil, and to do it in batches. Very, very small batches.) Yesterday, I got the urge to do my spices, and the machine has redeemed itself. Within a flash I had over 200g of roasted spices ground to a fine powder done in 2-3 batches. It was miraculous; previously it would take me all night with a pestle and mortar or Flavour Shaker. A far superior way of producing fresh spices, the hand method never produced a fine enough grind anyway. I contacted them, asking how it could be cleaned if it cannot be immersed in water. Their reply was a bit moronic, I was advised simply 'to wipe it clean'. Fine, I can immerse the screw top in soapy water for a through clean, but the base? Do you want spice and nut sediment in your coffee? Maybe you do, but I don't. So for ease of cleaning, it's a nightmare. Lastly, though it looks like some space shuttle, it's not as advanced as all that. The cap screws on with difficulty, and one needs a firm grip to unscrew it. Not hot when you're doing batches, In sum, you get what you pay for (namely, a two year guarantee). A spatula-cum-brush wouldn't be amiss, but again, you get what you pay for.

Does what I wanted it to, but the cleaning of it isn’t too good. You can’t take the bits out to clean it properly.
