    Good Points: Cheap enough.


    Bad Points: Very prone to static and consequently the ground beans fly all over when emptying it. Grind adjustment knob does not really change anything.


    General comments: The Krups GVX231 Grinder is a poor performer. Why they have an adjustment control I do not know as it seems to make no difference to the fineness of the grind.

    The shop was going to leave the Krups GVX231 Grinder on overnight to test, but it got so hot they felt it was not wise to do so (I was not the first to return it for this reason, one example did produce smoke). The shop was going to change it for another which was not quite so bad in their own test, but still remained pretty warm. I was then offered the Dualit one which was more expensive, but has been working well for some time now.

    If the need is to grind just enough coffee for a brew (e.g. if you like to vary your coffee flavours as I do), ...

    This Krups GVX231 Grinder has safety buttons to try and protect us from hurting our fingers. These are really annoying on a coffee grinder as they override the grind switch. It's got a nasty easily broken plastic lid for the collector box and if this is not put on correctly a switch stops you from proceeding. Add to this the fact that it will not grind fine and you have a almost useless bit of kit. The on off switch broke within a year. The best thing to do with this is too take a s 4lb sledgeha ...
