Product Description
The Krups Burr Grinder has a coarse/fine grind selector; use coarse for filter coffee, fine for espresso to get optimum levels of flavour extraction without bitterness. With 200g removable coffee container and safety lid and upper burr. With an LED on/off display, the GVX2 also has a number of cups (2-12) selector, so you can gauge quantities accurately. You can switch the grinder off manually, or it will switch itself off when the required quantity has been ground.

 Grinds perfectly, I cannot fault it September 21, 2008

This little machine (that's what I like about it - it's small and doesn't take up half of the kitchen) does a brilliant job and, if you use it correctly according to the instructions (which some of the 2* reviewers clearly haven't done), it produces consistant grinds and consistant amounts of coffee every time. I keep it next to my Krups coffee maker which is styled in the same way and it looks very attractive. It's a bit loud but then coffee grinders always are. I love it!

Pay attention to the reviewers here who have rated the product 2 stars, their descriptions are accurate.
I bought one of these and had the same experience they did, I found that on fine settings (I use an espresso machine) the plates were spinning but the beans wouldn't feed into the grinder without shaking the machine.
Worse, I don't know how the power cut off is supposed to operate, but I found the machine frequently switched itself for no apparent reason (even with quantity selector set to maximum)and would not come back on again!
I thought it was faulty, so I returned it. Avoid.
 Great product for the price December 29, 2007

I've had this grinder for around 2 years now and it's been 100% reliable. It's very easy to operate and the grind settings are good enough for all machines. I've just bought a Gaggia Baby Class D espresso machine and this Krups grinder makes fine enough coffee to use in it.
There are some small niggles; the beans sometimes get stuck and you have to shake it to loosen them again, also the two safety mechanisms (hopper lid and grind container) can occasionally be temperamental, but these are small prices to pay for such quality at a low price.
 Poor Performance from an otherwise good brand. November 24, 2007

Brought this last week, all looked fine until i tried to use it! This model features 2 variables, grind and number of cups, both are awful.
Grind
This machine will only grind on the coarsest 5 settings, the other 7 finer settings just do not work, the blades spin but no beans are taken into the grinder. Therefore if you want to use this machine to make espresso coffee, you cannot.
Number of Cups
Due to the grinder struggling to get enough beans into its feeder, this setting is always wrong and never consistent. Come on krups.
I have given it 2 stars however, as firstly, it is a Krups, and secondly it does grind at coarser settings quite well.
I have returned mine and will be trying the Dualit grinder next.
Come on Krups, dont let me call you Kraps!
Chic and efficient November 4, 2007

This little machine does an excellent job. We have to set it at its coarsest setting for our cafetiere, but the finished ground is comparable to that we used to buy from a specialist retailer. The cup setting (where you set it to mnake the amount of coffee you want to grind) is accurate and consistent.
We use it every day. It blew its fuse the second time we used it, but we replaced that and it has been fine for the four weeks since then.
