    General comments: Before starting to review an appliance like this you need to know
    what the intended use is. If you want a grinder for espresso the Russell Hobbs 10934 - classic grinder is most likley not your machine.

    for filter however, since it is a burr grinder(one of the few cheap)
    it does produce a fairly even grind quality, but the down side is that to get espesso grind quality it has to be very stable and no parts can "flex"
    And this one does not do that.

    my unit also came witha small sticker that looked like it hade been put there as a correction due to quality deficiencies "do not operate for more than 100sec"

    sure enough, after a year it broke,

    would I buy one again? don t think so, even though the machine did what it was suppose to while it worked, the sticker tells me that the quality, even for the budget price just is not there.

    This Russell Hobbs 10934 - classic grinder is a cheap machine, A coarse grind from a not particularly sturdy feeling machine. I recieved this as a gift, tried it for about 2 mins, then cleaned it and packaged it up for return. I know that may make me sound ungrateful, but it really isn't of any use for espresso.

    It doesn't go fine enough. I'd say it would be ok for filter coffee on finest, but if you want to use it for espresso, forget it!

    You get what you pay for - this Russell Hobbs 10934 is a cheap and nasty machine and the results are par for the course.Very badly designed, inconsistent grind, insufficient adjustment (see amazon tip), very poor motor.Using fresh dark oily coffee beans (as you should) really shows this machine up. Ground coffee gets wedged in the chute and requires excavating after every use.The hopper for the ground coffee is poorly designed and decanting will involve spillage every time!As a back-up for occas ...

    I got this Russell Hobbs 10934 - Classic as a bit of an experiment in finding a cheap coffee grinder. The Amazon reviews have details on how to tweak it to get a finer grind, which I followed (although not before checking that the finest grind at factory setting is nowhere NEAR fine enough for espresso). The tweaking is quite easy, but there is no way of knowing when the burrs are touching, which is unnerving.

    The operation is fairly quiet, but you'd hear it from the next door room. The look ...

    A really good coffee grinder can cost an arm and a leg so on price alone this Russell Hobbs 10934 - classic grinder caught my eye - Amazon.co.uk £19.97 - it looks very impressive too!

    It took about two weeks to arrive after purchasing the item due to something about it being only available directly from the manufacturer. After opening a smaller than anticipated box, I found it very easy to assemble. Infact it's just a case of simply connecting the bean container and ground coffee coll ...
