The grinder on the Russell Hobbs 9702 worked fine for a few years-but like other reviews have said, the weak link is the plastic 'tongue' on the lid which needs to engage before the machine will grind. This has just broken on mine, making the machine useless-unless I can find a replacement lid! Does anyone know where to get them?

I had the same problem as you. I fixed it by using a piece of sticky tape to the original tab. That solved that particular problem. Just cut it to size and stick it on but do not wash the lid. The coffee grounds are clean and I always use a pastry brush to get the remaining coffee grounds out of the lid. To make the small rectangular aperture just slice the sticky tape with a small, sharp knife.
