Professional reviewers commend the BLACK+DECKER One Touch Coffee Grinder for its solid stainless-steel construction, fast 10-15 second medium grind, and quiet, low-power operation. They appreciate its versatility across coffee, spices, and nuts, but note the limited 2/3 cup capacity, lack of precise grind presets, and suboptimal cord storage as drawbacks compared to higher-end burr grinders.
Everyday users praise the grinder's speed, compact design, and ease of cleaning, often calling it 'awesome grinding' and perfect for single-serve coffee or spice prep. Common complaints focus on the small batch size, inconvenient cord storage, and occasional grind inconsistency for very fine settings.
