    Good Points: Massive motor, efficiently grinds, adjustable grind settings.


    General comments: Odd little machine. Dualit Coffee has a massive motor, but design flaws just don't seem to make it worth the price. Had one for £8 that worked great for years, then forked out a lot for this "gourmet" model and like it much less.

    Design badly flawed. Cup for grounds sits loosely below grinder, and slowly works its way out of the machine as it vibrates during the grind process, leaving grounds everywhere. Even when you hold the cup in place during operation, finely ground coffee falls between cup and housing so when cup is removed, it leaves grounds all over the counter. Cup is also very small, while container for whole beans is very large. Very easy to grind too much coffee, so when cup is removed... you guessed it... grounds all over the counter. Within a few months of use, grinding timer stuck in "on" position, so must turn on and off using mains switch. Finally, can they not build one of these things with a muffler or silencer so you don't wake up the household trying to get a cup of coffee? This one is so loud, I end up grinding large amounts on weekends when everyone's awake and then storing it. This pretty much defeats the purpose of buying whole beans in the first place.

    The retailer exchanged a faulty (cheaper) Krups model with this Dualit and I have to say that it is far superior in all respects. The clockwork duration operation seems quirky at first, but this and the adjustment for the fineness of grind both work very well indeed. Copes better than most with oily high-roast beans as they flow unassisted out of the hopper. As a coffee enthusiast, I am very happy with this purchase " so much so I have bought another for the other house we use.

    After a while it would grind away, but nothing came through. I tried shaking it (some improvement) and rotating the hopper (sometimes worked). This got worse and worse until eventually (after about 4 years) it stopped. When I sent it to Dualit for repairs they said it could not be fixed! Not recommended.

    Great for entry level coffee espresso machine. I got a very good espresso with a good crema using this grinder on my old Morphy Richards £100 machine. Very small footprint and looks great next to my coffee machine. I often use it on coarse setting for my cafetier and it work great for this. For £60 I think the Dualit Coffee Grinder is value for money.

    Dualit Coffee - I have had one of these machines for two years, and the long-term ownership story is not so good. Initially the machine was reasonably efficient, but after a few months, performance really dropped. I managed to pull the machine apart and clean the grinding surfaces, which by that time had got pretty clogged. Cleaning the grinding surface restored the performance for a while but performance quickly dropped off again after a few grinds. I give the machine fairly heavy use, but I st ...

    I like Dualit equipment. Good and sturdy and well made? I thought I'd bought a quality piece of equipment when I bought this Dualit coffee grinder. For the first four weeks it was great. However, after that it started to have trouble grinding beans. The wheels whirred away but no coffee came out! The only way I could make it grind was to shake it from side to side as it ground!

    There is a safety device built into the grinder which causes the grinding wheels to stop grinding if a stone gets i ...
