“I love it!”

Written on: 17/12/2011

I've had this for 2 years now and I really like it and am surprised by the negative reviews. Ok, so it gets hot, but I just switch it off at the plug after every use - also avoids children having accidents! I don't find the lid falls into the 'pot'. I alter the courseness of the coffee depending on caffetiere or filter and this works, also have it on a fixed setting for one cup, so even my husband can make me coffee!! I think it is well priced and would recommend it for others, have in... (read more)

“Don't waste your money on this dog of a coffee...”

Written on: 01/12/2010

Don't waste your money on this dog of a coffee grinder. The thing stopped grinding all of a sudden for no apparent reason. The shop sent me a replacement which also failed. If I could figure out how to give it zero stars, I would. (read more)

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. (read more)

“The shop was going to leave the Krups GVX231 Grinder...”

Written on: 20/01/2009 by geomowat (10 reviews written)

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. (read more)

“The Krups GVX231 Grinder looks good value on the shelf...”

Written on: 25/10/2008 by jhgarstang (1 review written)

The Krups GVX231 Grinder looks good value on the shelf but don't be fooled. I guess it's another case of you get what you pay for. It failed after two years. It is messy: ground coffee flies everywhere when emptying the hopper due to static electricity generated by the (unnecessarily?) fast grinding speed; hopper lid is easy to drop into the hopper when emptying resulting in more mess.
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),... (read more)

“This Krups GVX231 Grinder has safety buttons to try...”

Written on: 21/08/2007 by orfeo (1 review written)

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... (read more)
