Retro looking Gourmet Coffee Grinder

My sister saw my last post which was about the Mr. Coffee Coffee Grinder. She informed me that I hadn’t experienced freshly ground coffee until I’ve tried her coffee grinder. So she invited me over and off I went, camera in hand.



Now how cool does that grinder look? She keeps it in her kitchen on the counter because it is so pretty. She said it is called a Gourmet Coffee Grinder, and is made by Universal.

After talking to my little sis some more I found out that the Universal Gourmet Coffee Grinder:

• Grinds your coffee beans from course to very fine by the metal adjustment knob on the side of the unit. Grinds coffee for all types of coffee and espresso makers.
• Also grinds nuts, spices and other beans
• Made from cast Iron and Wood for long lasting use
• Just dump your coffee beans into the cast iron covered bean hopper it‘s perfectly sloped chamber
• Allows the beans to be to be evenly and efficiently loaded for perfect grinding
• Ground coffee empties into the wooden drawer and allows enough ground coffee for up to 10 cups of fresh brew.

• 
• Also makes a beautiful addition to your kitchen with its antique look there’s no need to hide it in the cabinet.

Directions For Use
This unit comes to you pre-assembled just place the oak handle onto the cast Iron Wheel and tighten with a straight screwdriver. Fill the hopper with your favorite beans. You should do a practice run first to get the adjustment knob were you need it for your preferred type of ground coffee (if it is to course you can run it back through so there’s no waste) The further out you adjust the knob the courser the coffee will be; the further in the knob is the finer. Just adjust a little at a time till you get it were you want it. You can grind a hopper full in under three minutes with continuous turning of the wheel. Occasionally, a whole been will slip through when you stop grinding before the hopper is empty.

Mr. Coffee Coffee Grinder

While I love any and all coffee, there is just something even more special about freshly ground coffee that just gets my senses up and going.  While this isn't something that I do very often, I know some of you are curious about grinding your own coffee and may even be curious as to which coffee grinder is my preferred weapon of choice.  Well that would be the Mr. Coffee Coffee Grinder.  Let me tell you a little about it:

This small but powerful coffee grinder has three grind settings: Fine, Medium and Coarse to grind your coffee just the way you like. The exclusive chamber maid clears grounds from the chamber walls. Grind 4-12 cups for brewing. The press and pour wide opening lid makes fill and dispensing easier and less messy.

Dishwasher-Safe top and grinding chamber for easy cleaning. With its auto off feature it automatically stops when grounds are ideally prepared. The convenient cleaning mechanism clears grounds from the side of the grinding chamber after each use for no messy residue and less coffee waste.

It easily adjusts for different cup settings with its easy touch buttons operates with the touch of a button.

 And it features built in cord storage in the back to neatly tuck away the cord when not in use for a tidy kitchen. Small and compact at eight inches high and three 7/8 top diameter this item is compact enough to take with you on your travels or to help maintain roomy counter top in your kitchen or break room with its 120 Vac 60 HZ 130W motor it’s powerful enough to take on any coffee bean.

Review

This thing is fast and that’s perfect for us we are busy parents who can’t survive without our morning cup my beans are ground in seconds and I think its easy to clean up, I like that the buttons light up so I can see them when I am half asleep in the morning and that it only requires one finger to operate since most of the others are busy with getting the kids ready in the morning.

I would recommend it to anyone I am very satisfied with it and it has earned a permanent place alongside my coffee pot every morning.
