This review is from: Nesco BG-88 Professional 12-Cup Burr Grinder with 17 Grind SettingsThe only reason I gave this product four instead of five stars is that it's a bit difficult to get a good grip on the grounds holder to remove it from the machine. Otherwise, it's an excellent product for preparing fresh-ground coffee every morning. I've come home on several occasions to find the wonderful smell of coffee still hanging around the apartment. It's also not very loud. I have two birds who freak out at practically every sudden noise, and this machine hardly disturbed them. It was quieter than my blender and is relatively easy to clean with a pastry brush, and some all-plastic parts (the hopper lid and the grounds holder) can be completely removed and washed....

This review is from: Nesco BG-88 Professional 12-Cup Burr Grinder with 17 Grind SettingsI have had my Nesco Burr for about 2 weeks now and so far so good.It will not make turkish but it may possibly do the job for espresso.It would never pass the test for a connoisseur or Barista. If you are a beginner it may work out. I will let you know on this because I do plan to get an espresso machine soon probably a Starbucks Barista off eBay since thats the best quality for the money in my price range .I bought this at the same time as a Mukka express Cappuccino maker which I returned (not a good product).For now I am using it with a french press and it does the job well .You do need some type of small long brush like you would use to baste your BBQ to clean out the old grounds so you do not have any stail coffee grounds in your next brew.I am still playing around with it so I will come back and update soon.My conclusion so far is it is a decent burr grinder for the money and people looking for a little more quality and uniform grind than you would get from a blade grinder but I would not expect the quality of a $100 burr from this....

This review is from: Nesco BG-88 Professional 12-Cup Burr Grinder with 17 Grind SettingsThe Preface: This is not a review - just a quick note of warning to potential buyers. 1) Don't let the picture fool you. While the images may give you the impression this machine looks well designed and durable - I can assure you it is not. I actually had the benefit of purchasing it locally and was able to hold the box in my hand. I wish I could have held the machine itself, though. The plastic bean holder and grounds holder are made of thin, brittle plastic. So thin and brittle that I handle it very slowly and carefully to avoid dropping it. I have the feeling that if the grounds holder slipped out of my hands and fell 6 inches to the table top, that would be enough to shatter it. Furthermore, the grounds holder and lid are not flat and have several 'directions' - which make it clumsly and difficult to snap together. 2) The instructions actually advise you to clean the spout (where the grounds come out) after every use. They aren't kidding!!! In fact, on several occasions, while trying to grind less than half the capability of the timer, the grinder would stop grinding (even though the motor was still going) and I had to clean the spout. The real problem is that in order to fully clean the spout, the machine must be empty and spout tilted downward to help clear the passage. I've also noticed that gravity alone is not enough when tilting it - you will need to pat the sides of the machine to help loosen the build up. Overall, this machine feels and works like a cheap toy. I don't know the company and have no idea what their ...
