 Best of the Small Whirlys April 8, 2008
This is a very nice and efficient small whirling blade grinder. I have had one for several years and like it much better than the other popular models (Krups etc.) that I've owned previously. It is an outstanding value.
As usual some of the reviews here make no sense. I recommend you take them with a load of salt.
It grinds plenty fast so grind only what you need and more importantly, a reasonable amount at a time and you won't have problems getting the grind size you want. I find the sound much less annoying than others I've owned/used.

 Cracked lid out of the box February 27, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
Unfortunately I didn't open the box after having this grinder for a year. Half of the lid was shattered in the box, which makes the on/off switch not function. Great - I was eagerly awaiting my morning coffee and now not only did I lose my investment in this grinder but I have to go buy coffee.
 Not worth the trouble. January 6, 2008

The Bodum C-Mill does grind beans consistently, in the sense that you'll get the exact same mix of coarse and finely ground beans regardless of how long you grind the beans, how much you shake the grinder, or how many beans you fill it with. After you're finished grinding, you'll be happy to find plenty of coffee lavishly strewn over your countertop after you open the lid, which is interesting since so much of it sticks to the bottom of the thing. After you've tapped, shaken, scraped and cursed most of the coffee out, cleanup is a breeze. Simply rinse out the lid under the faucet and wipe the inside of the unit with a paper towel, ignoring the fact that there are all kinds of crevices where grinds can get stuck and are nearly impossible to remove, unless you'd like to spend another 10 minutes diligently removing them with a q-tip.
I honestly can't think of anything positive to say about this grinder. Cord storage? A practically useless feature. Design? My blender is more eye-catching, and to be honest I could care less what it looks like, as long as it works as it should. It amazes me that something so simple could fail so totally at its intended function, and I'm really surprised that there are any positive reviews for this product. It also surprises me how few coffee grinders there are that have a washable grinding chamber; I would have thought that would be a common feature nowadays. Cleaning out coffee grinds is not a task I prefer doing in the morning, or ever.
I got this as a gift, so I'm stuck with it for a while, but I'd highly recommend looking elsewhere for a grinder, unless you enjoy frustration.
 Maybe they got a bad batch.....?? August 24, 2007

I was gifted this item & LOVE it! It outperforms the $45 Melitta one that just died.
If the coffee isn't ground fine enough or if it's inconsistant within the same batch, perhaps you have overfilled it. I use it daily to grind coffee for a 12 cup maker (and we like ours STRONG!!) & it handles that just fine.
I feel it's certainly worth the price, which is inexpensive compared to some!
If you want your coffee ground fine then keep looking February 9, 2007

I bought this grinder after seeing it recommended on another site. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that this grinder does not do a good job of fine grinding. Also, the lid is a little finicky going on and can't be used to hold the ground coffee. If you need your coffee ground fine, and don't want to shell out the bucks for a burr grinder, try the Braun KSM2.
