The Krups Coffee Grinder Model 203-42 Fast Touch - Reviewed

If you are a fan of the unbeatable aroma of a cup at Starbucks and you find yourself thinking of little else than a way to get that flavor at home, a home coffee grinder is exactly what you need. Why do you need a home coffee grinder for that? What's wrong with getting a package of ready-ground coffee? The problem is this: the flavor in a cup made from freshly ground coffee comes from the coffee oils that are released in the grinding process. The oils however have a fairly short shelf life. They either lose their flavor altogether in a few minutes or they become rancid. Getting a device like the Krups Coffee Grinder model 203-42 Fast Touch is a step in the right direction. Just as long as you remember that a perfect cup of coffee can only come from coffee that's ground no more than a minute before you brew the cup.

This Krups coffee grinder is kind of a mystery for the absolute uncompromised quality you get for the $17 you pay for it. It is a diminutive enough - no more than 6 inches tall. For its size, it packs quite a punch. Stainless steel blades in a stainless steel grinding enclosure powered by a 200 W motor makes short work of loads of up to 3 ounces of roasted coffee beans at a time (no one says you can't use the grinder for pepper, spices, greens or anything else either).

Usually, a 200 W motor that spins at such high speeds tends to be pretty noisy. Not so with this Krups coffee grinder. It's a quiet machine. This well-constructed unit shows every promise of being extremely durable too. Who should buy the 203-42 Fast Touch? This is actually a grinder that works very well for anyone who uses a coffee maker that accepts paper cone filters. Why paper? A coffee grinder that grinds coffee with spinning blades will often reduce some part of your coffee beans to microscopic specks of coffee dust in addition to grinding most of them to regular-sized granules. If you have a regular permanent filter in your coffee maker, the dust will get through and make a cloudy pot of coffee. Paper filters are a lot finer. That's a rule to remember - buy blade-type coffee grinders only if you have a paper filter coffee maker. If you like coarse ground coffee, this may not be the right kind of grinder for you either. It doesn't have a fine/coarse control.

That said, this coffee grinder is easy to clean and maintain; it is also well-enough designed to be very easy to use. If you like fine ground coffee especially for Turkish or espresso, you really don't need to look any further. The blades are very sharp, they spin fast, and the grinding chamber is perfectly designed for a fine ground coffee.
