Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Toastmaster Coffee Grinder
Customer Review: Cheap but there are Better
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product because it's the least expensive model sold here in Amazon. I figured how bad could a relatively simple device with a singular function be? While the unit does grind coffee, it is relatively loud, messy, and takes longer.
Noise: It's (relatively) loud. This isn't a big deal if you're just at home but I use this in an office setting and I don't want to attract too much attention. No model is whisper quiet but the motor and beans produce quite a cacophony.
Mess: The design of the top fitting into the base isn't thought out. The plastic safety top fits around the base instead of going into it. As a result, there's some slight spillage of grounds when you take the top off. In addition, you'll be hard pressed if you want to pour the grounds into the top after grinding and then measure the grounds from there because there's a indentation in the top that prevents easy scooping, thereby producing more mess.
Grind quality: There is something is the blade design (I think because the blades sit a little higher from the bottom of the container) that prevents it from producing a fine grind no matter how long you hold the button.
The better models are those from Krups and Black & Decker. They are about $5 more but are worth it in terms of the above considerations.
Customer Review: Quiet Little Cute Machine
Summary: 5 Stars
Just compare this one with Braun, try to turn it on without the coffee beans and you would notice Braun is louder than Toastmaker, this is quiet and grinds well. Just got it a month ago, not sure about the life of the machine. But I believe its Cheap and Best.Customer Review: Perfect little grinder for your money

The coffee worked very nicely. I ordered it to grind flaxseed and it did a good job. The flaxseed still has whole seeds but not bad.
