Amazon.com Review
By crushing coffee beans rather than grinding them, this electric mill produces uniform granules to preserve flavor and aroma. The machine can be adjusted for fine (espresso), medium (drip), or coarse (percolator) granules. The bean container holds enough for up to 20 cups of coffee, and a dial controls the amount of time the mill operates so varying amounts of beans can be crushed. Both the bean and coffee containers can be removed for easy operation. A 1-1/2-tablespoon scoop is included, and its angled handle doubles to scrape away excess particles of coffee. With both containers in place, the mill, clad in black plastic, measures 8-1/2 inches wide, 8-3/4 inches high, and 5 inches deep. --Fred Brack

 Black & Decker Bean Buster! October 20, 2001

I was very impressed with how uniform and consistent the grinding was of the coffee beans I used. Oily beans tend not to be as uniform which is why I could not give it the full compliment of 5 stars. Easy clean-up as it is dishwasher safe.

Very uniform grinding with the exception of using flavored beans that are overly oily. Easy clean up and most of the time I put the breakaway parts in the dishwasher with no problem.
 Inconsistent grind. Poor construction. Loud. October 14, 2002

I must add my voice to the growing chorus of dissatisfied B&D SmartGrind owners. My biggest complaint is that the size distribution of the resultant grind on any coarseness setting runs the gamut from superfine powder to large flakes. During the grind, I have to lay a towel over the seam between the unit and the grind collection cup to keep fine particles from flying out -- doesn't happen every time, and there's not a lot, but very noticeable against the white wall and countertop!I've had mine for about half a year now and use it 4 or 5 times a week. A crack has developed at the bottom of the whole bean cup (like that of the other reviewers here) and is slowly working its way up the side toward the lid. The final insult is that this device is LOUD: your neighbors will wonder why you're always doing small carpentry projects early in the morning...
Nice Affordable Burr Grinder May 20, 2002

I bought this grinder because I love the taste of fresh coffee. When researching all the different types of grinders on the market, the consensus was that the burr grinders were superior to the blade types. Being a poor student, I could not afford to purchase one of the top of the line types, so I thought I would take my chances and try this one out. I was pleasantly surprised.The grinds come out even and are fine enough to use in my cone-type drip coffee maker. Although you do see some larger flakes from the bean membranes, they do not affect the flavor any. I have not noticed any of the static that other people have experienced, so my countertops have remained clean after using this. The timer feature is nice since you don't have to sit there holding down the ON button the whole time. Plus, I think it looks nice, too. For those of you who want a burr grinder but can't afford one of the more expensive ones, I think this Black and Decker grinder is a good purchase.
Should be called "DumbMess Deluxe Coffee Mill". December 3, 2001

Buyer beware! Yes it does grind the coffee but... the grinder easily clogs around the area where the grinds come out. When you pull the container out to get your ground coffee, the clogged coffee build-up makes it difficult to pull out. It does come with a cleaner type wand, but what a hassle to have to clean it throughly every time to be able to pull out the container! The other problem is, if you pick up the machine by the whole bean receptical, the receptical comes off in your hand and all of your beans spill everywhere!
