Smeg CGF01PBUK Coffee Grinder, Aluminium Construction, 50's Retro Style, 8 Programme Settings and 3 Grinding Grades, Pastel Blue

I'm very happy with this purchase. The grinder works perfectly and it's easy to use. I use it for each coffee as I like my espresso strong and full of aroma. Looks good too.

Very easy to set up, easy to clean and just looks great in my kitchen.

I've had this item in the light blue for about 6 months now—probably my least favourite of the colours but it was always significantly cheaper in that colour, and beggars can't be choosers. I liked it so much that I wanted a second one as I drink caffeinated in the morning and decaf through the day—so when a glossy black one came on offer I had to grab it. No more having to grind up a batch of one kind to store in the freezer!There are probably dozens of coffee grinders on the market that do just as good a job at a cheaper price, but it's the design that I really love about these.There are just two basic settings which control the fineness of the grind and the number of measures per press of the button. I like that if you press the button again after the grinding starts, you can stop it early. I like one-and-a-bit servings per mug. I wish there was a separate setting to finely adjust exactly how much constitutes a single measure, but there isn't, so I just press it for one measure, then afterwards give it a couple more taps in quick succession to push out a little more for my desired strength.I personally wouldn't pay full price for this, hence one star knocked off, but there is no knocking the quality of the product. It's solid and weighty, easy to wipe clean, has a decent sized bean cup at the top, and looks like pure class on the counter.

Easy to use and looks great.

very easy to use and clean.Does the job as specified and the resulting coffee is always great.

Smeg grinder looks amazing, but it doesn’t power up no matter how many times I press the start button or re-assemble the appliance.

Looks great, grinds well. And as long as you remember before you press grind open the rubber seal first. Otherwise it goes everywhere .different grind selector. Fine medium etc. You can even grind straight into coffee holder. All in all I love it.

Nice design, easy to use, works well
