 Dont waste a year of Grinding April 4, 2007
This is the least expensive burr grinder with a doser I could find - that should have been my 1st clue!
the product arrived with a broken hopper and the wrong color - clue #2
finally get to grind some beans - but my portafilter wont fit under the doser... so I improvise and fill the basket instead - clue #3
while grinding this machine creates so much static electricity that it'll shock your hand if you get too close - clue #4
two months into using the machine a bean gets jammed... need a screw driver to remove ( this happens 4 more times ) - clue #5
Eleven months and 15 days (just shy of one full year) I smell smoke coming from the unit .. box it up and ship it off to the Mfg for warrenty repair ... email just arrived ... $70 for a new motor
GET A CLUE DONT WASTE A YEAR! OR $100
 So far so good December 15, 2003
The interchangeable doser is very messy. I only use the storage container and no coffee leaks out. In my opinion for $49 this grinder is a great deal. It arrived a couple of days ago and I have been using it non stop. Grind setting (#1) works great with my espresso machine. So far so good.

The grinding is OK, But you can't touch the unit with out getting coffee grinds on the counter, etc.,doser is useless ! cost me over $100. putting a paper towel under it & holding it together while grinding(as said in other reviews)is a bit lame for a unit of this price !
Briel CG5B Java Heavy-Duty Coffee Grinder October 21, 2002

I needed a grinder to use with a drip coffee machine and an espresso machine. I chose the Briel CG5B Java Heavy-Duty Coffee Grinder because it came with an espresso doser. When I got the grinder I attached the doser and put in some beans to grind. I was very pleased with the ability to grind coffee as fine or coarsely as you could ever want but I was very disappointed by the doser. It just doesn't work. The coffee gets clogged and doesn't come out until it can fall onto the counter and create a huge mess. This grinder will grind coffee but it feels flimsy and is more trouble than it is worth. There are lots of coffee grinders and many for better prices. Choose one of them.
 Work with the machine, not against it ! October 15, 2002

Yes -- it throws coffee all over the counter -- simply place a paper towel under the doser, sliding it up the back a little, when you turn it off, fold up the paper towel and throw it out. The doser really leaves little room -- just take the filter out of the transporter and place it directly below the doser (be sure to hold it snug against the stop ---...
