Black & Decker CBM220 Burr Mill Coffee Grinder, Stainless Steel Review

The Black & Decker Burr grinder is an affordable solution for having the freshest, best tasting coffee in your home.This unit is easy to use and has multiple safety features to prevent any accidents.

PROS:
*Burr Grinder - this is important as it will keep your grind consistent (in theory) and won't burn them like a blade grinder can.

*Easy to use. - Simply open the clear hinged top lid and pour in your beans.Close the lid and hold the button down until beans are ground.

*Removable canister, which allows you to dump your grind into the coffee maker

*Small, attractive form factor.Looks nice on your counter.

CONS:
*Unit only operates when you are holding down the grind button.It takes approximately 60 seconds to grind a full batch.It would be nice if it would automatically grind to that point and then turn off.

*Hard to clean.As with all coffee grinders, you'll need to clean this after every use.It prevents your next batch from tasting rancid.However, since the unit is small, it has many small places that your ground coffee can get trapped.The small cleaning brush that is provided is average at best at getting the ground coffee out.If the unit isn't fully cleaned properly, the grinder won't grind the beans consistently.It takes me approximately 5 minutes to fully clean this unit after use.Something I'm beginning to resent.

*As expected, this unit is loud.It's my first grinder, so I cannot compare the noise to others.However, I cannot use it until the family is awake as it will wake them up.

*Messy.When operating, a small amount of grinds comes out of the container onto the counter.This has happened since I first used it.The seal of the container onto the grinder doesn't appear to be engineered with a tight fit.

CONCLUSION:
We've had this unit for about 5 months and it is starting to wear out on us.While the unit worked very well for us in the first 2 months, it is now getting louder and the grind is far from consistent.I've wasted a lot of coffee in the last 2 months due to this grinder and am looking for a replacement unit.At $30, I would hope this unit would last longer than that.I would like to find a larger unit that can handle the workload of daily use and is easier to clean.
